Dive into Equilibrium and Joy with Dolphins

August 4-10 2024

with Carolyn Anderson and Jillian Rutledge

 

Come join me on the magical isle of Bimini with the marvelous crew at WildQuest to enjoy the Dolphins who live here and often grace us with their awe-inspiring presence! 

Sail, swim, and snorkel with us to experience the Joy of your own Dolphin encounter and bear witness to Dolphins’ impact on children or teens with special needs, some of whom will be among our human pod on the trip. 

We will also be blessed with the presence of amazing free diver Jillian Rutledge who will teach relaxation breathing and beginning techniques for free diving which equip us to play with the Dolphins under water. 

I will talk about the nervous system and states of arousal & regulation, learning to tune into and reflect on what amps you up and what calms you down and develop a larger toolkit of strategies to help live more of your life in the “Just Right” green zone. (This is how the Alert Program and Zones of Regulation refer to it.)

In addition to pulling from these regulation programs, we have the Dolphins as teachers of how to live in harmony and Joy!

About Carolyn

Carolyn grew up riding waves with her Mother and Father and remembers the excitement of Dolphins swimming past.

Carolyn retained her Joy of swimming in the Ocean and found herself teaching her nephew how to ride waves.  She’d snorkeled near Dolphins in Hawaii and experienced a new and profound Joy in swimming WITH them in Bimini!!

Dolphins have a Magical presence, infusing us with Joy!!  She’s been told she’s supposed to work with Dolphins and children; this trip manifests that Higher Calling.  Carolyn has worked with children aged 2 -18 and believes all children, including those with special needs, have special gifts and powers, and that struggling children need tools to function in a world whose frequency differs from theirs.

Carolyn believes Dolphins have much to offer humans in terms of living together in Joy and Harmony, and encounters with Dolphins have profound effects, opening us to Joy and Ease.

More information on her website.

About Jillian

Jillian Rutledge is a phenomenal free diver and the Dolphins love to dance with her. 

Jillian has a calm, grounding presence that helps others feel calm when learning breath holds and the basics of free diving.  She has also worked with Dolphins in various capacities and with children with special needs with the Dolphins. 

Additionally, Jillian has led numerous Dolphin tours of her own.  We are truly blessed to have Jillian joining us on our Dolphin adventure!!

Note: This is not a free diving certification course but Jillian does offer those at other times.

About the WildQuest Team

The WildQuest Team is an international, unique community of individuals, each with their own very special flavour. They will support you on land, on the boat and in the water, creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You are welcomed into a safe and loving space here at WildQuest that allows relaxation to happen, the feeling of being at home.

We will be going out on the boat each day to connect with the dolphins. Usually we have a picnic lunch on the boat. We will also visit the Atlantis Stones and snorkel at coral reefs.

Everything is optional – participate if it feels right for you. There will also be some free time to relax on the beach and explore the island.

Individual massage sessions are available.
