Zen Voyage

(4 hours, by special arrangement)

Captains Rosie Kuhn and Paul Kassatkin remind us that, like the gentle tug of the tides, the ocean draws us back to our spiritual selves. By learning to sense the rhythm of the sea, to feel the motion of the vessel, and to listen to our inner voice, we will use gentle and simple exercises to help you find your “inner sailor.”

Naturalist East Bay Voyage

The East Bay is full of wildlife — above, on, and below the water. We will show you current boundaries: floating ecosystems that move around the bay with the currents. We will show you birds, marine mammals, and whatever else pops up. We will also help you visualize the Bay before humans rebuilt it.
