Our Mission

"Guiding, Equipping, and Anchoring individuals while on their course!"

Although, sailboats are what we use for travel, exploration, and enjoyment, we ourselves are much like a vessel. We are a creation that has been launched on a journey upon a sea that is to be navigated. Much like a boat, we from time to time need to perform tasks that help with maintaining a healthy state of being. We experience conditions that are always changing and require adjusting, and possibly redirection. Anxiety, anxiousness, uncertainty and fear may become obstacles when facing these changes influencing one to respond in ways that result in drifting off course. We may find that like a boat whose sail is luffing, we are slowing down and at times, not moving at all. Our mission here at Graceful Winds is to create and provide opportunities of fellowship, to, guide, equip, and anchor individuals within an encouraging and supportive community. Exploring and experiencing the possible benefits regarding good mental health, by taking a respite out on and around the water. Discovering what one can do to return to and remain true to the course!

Programs

Graceful Sails

Navigating out on the water requires the trimming and shaping of sails, and at times, changing the heading. When facing the unpredictable, and at times, difficult conditions out on the water, many lessons can be learned. Join us to discover how these lessons can be applied to daily life and explore ways we can adjust to remain true to our own course!

Graceful Works

The boatyard is a place the crew here at Graceful Winds finds themselves hard at work. Boat maintenance is a must and needs to be performed often. Although, the work is not always the most enjoyable, or as fun as being out on the waves, it is necessary! This program provides the opportunity to join others in pursuit of a common goal and the restorative outcomes from getting the hands dirty!
