Transformative Methodology

Nature has changed my life, and continues to change it every day. In moments of acceleration, overload, stress, anxiety and confusion, it was in nature that I reconnected with inner peace to realise my true dreams and my full potential in existence.

Henrique Pistilli

Studying nature, organisations and the human being as complex living phenomena has taught me paths that expand individual awareness towards healthy relationships with oneself and the world.

The Origin of Sea Coaching

Sea Coach is a facilitator in learning processes who works alongside the forces of the Ocean to lead transformative experiences, expanding the vision on the phenomenon of life and the invisible natural laws.

Development of the Profession

The profession was developed by Pistilli (2005), when he still lived in Florianópolis and began his annual seasons in Hawaii and Indonesia, blending his experience at sea with business consulting, studies of phenomenology and anthroposophy.

The methodology combines ancient Hawaiian and Indonesian practices with contemporary approaches to human and organisational development.

Over the years, the practice has been refined through experience with hundreds of leaders and executives, adapting to the needs of the modern corporate world.

FAQ

Do I need to know how to swim?

No. All levels of skill are welcome. As a matter of fact, those that come with “no swimming skills” are the ones to grow the most throughout the experience.

The ocean is not only a symbolic and spiritual field but also a neurophysiological agent of reorganization and consciousness expansion, activating the Vagus nerve and neuroception (the body’s ability to process information unconsciously), and fostering rare states of presence.

Certainly. It’s recommended for anyone who’s willing to expand their leadership skills.
