The Captain Planet Foundation, Lonely Whale, and Point Break Foundation launched Ocean Heroes Bootcamp in 2018, an annual youth program designed to give agency to existing and emerging youth leaders, ages 11 to 18, to create their own campaigns against ocean plastic pollution.

For this event, I created both audio and written guided meditations featuring relaxing and thought inspiring meditative explorations to champion the collective mission. The young leaders and activists were invited to imagine what it’s like to be a whale in the ocean, their need for a clean home and served as a moment of stress relief for the participants.

These resources became reusable tools that the participants could return to after the bootcamp to stay connected to their experience, manage anxiety and feel motivated to take action.
