SUP & Soul

SUP & Soul Stand up (sit down, kneel down, lie down!) paddle coach, nature retreat facilitator & circle host.

We teach clients to paddle board in beautiful surroundings at Weir Wood Reservoir, the River Adur or along the coast in Sussex between Hove and Shoreham. Our sessions are friendly, welcoming and importantly safe both physically and spiritually. It can be intimidating trying a new sport for the first time so we specialise in making our clients feel super comfortable and relaxed from the get go. We

host Water & Wellness retreats days and other rewilding events powered by nature. Our events generally centre around nature and the feminine energy combining some element of paddle boarding, wild swimming, SUP yoga and life coaching. We welcome all women (cis and trans) as well as non-binary people who are comfortable in a space that centres the experience of women. We offer bespoke business and team related coaching and connection workshops/retreats that help nurture and support leaders and teams in bringing their purpose-driven business and projects to life. We also offer teams the opportunity to connect in the real world through paddle boarding adventure trips or paddle cleanups where they can help give back to our waterways too. We are Sussex based and can be found mostly at Weir Wood Reservoir in Forest Row, on the River Adur in Shoreham, along the coast between Hove and Shoreham or in a woods somewhere hosting fireside gatherings and storytelling experiences.

Nature Sit Spot: An invitation to spend time outside, in nature, just being, witnessing, connecting. A form of meditation. Simply being present and just noticing what comes up.

I was first introduced to the Sit Spot while on a Nature Facilitation course in 2021 and again in May 2026 with Change in Nature - and now I regularly visit different sit spots to share time with nature and be with my thoughts, or sometimes just be.

Do you have a sit spot in nature? Could you find one? What might happen if you tried just 10 mins a few times a week sitting in your nature sit spot?

Try it! And let me know how it goes 💚

First Water & Wellness retreat day of the season, and what a day it was! 💙

Are you Merilyne Davies? If yes please can you DM me! 🙏

In need of a reset?
Looking for a sense of community?
How about a good dose of gentle outdoor adventure?!

Join us for this Water & Wellness Weekender in the heart of Sussex.

We'll set off on a gentle mini river paddle board expedition - your invitation to leave the world behind as we float up river, carried by the flow of the water.

We'll arrive at our secret overnight destination - a bell tent village nestled in the South Downs - by paddle board.

Once settled into our wild camp for the day, we'll enjoy more gentle activity with a restorative yin yoga and guided meditation.

Plenty of spaciousness for some down time and nourishing meals.

Before being lulled to sleep through the soothing vibrations of an evening moonlit sound bath - maybe even under the stars and the Aquarius full moon!

There'll be healthy and hearty home cooked meals, sleeping in cosy bell tents and sunrise qi gong, nature connection activities and gentle hikes before we depart the next day, paddle boarding back down river.

Arriving home a little more reconnected, maybe even somewhat revived, and absolutely a lot more re-wilded.

Wanna join us? Then do!

Early bird offer ends 16 June >>

I have one space left for the upcoming Water & Wellness day on Saturday 30th May.

This day is the perfect intro to sea paddling / refresher to sea paddling followed by picnic lunch, sound bath, sauna & cold water plunge/sea dip complete with beach campfire circle to close.

We’ll be following the energy of the Sagittarius full moon - an invitation to enjoy gentle adventure and stretch yourself on the water, rest and relax with sound and then release whatever no longer serves with hot sauna and cold water plunge.

It’s going to be delicious! You should come.

Interested but can’t join? More dates to be announced shortly.

Jo in the Water: a new documentary about one woman's fight to save our rivers, lakes and seas

Screening +Q&A with Director Pip Piper, Atlanta Cook, Surfers Against Sewage & Jo-Anne Godden, RubyMoon
Thursday 21st May, 7pm
Picturehouse Duke’s at Komedia, Brighton

Jo in the Water follows a passionate sea swimmer turned reluctant activist, Exmouth-based Jo Bateman, as she takes on one of the UK’s biggest water companies in a David-and-Goliath battle to protect our waters from devastating sewage pollution.

In the wake of Channel 4’s recent hard-hitting docu-drama which has left many people both angry and frustrated, Jo in the Water picks up the baton from Dirty Business and seeks out joy and inspiration amongst the many amazing individuals fighting to make a difference.

As Jo’s courage helps ignite a growing movement, this film exposes the dire state of our water system and asks: who will stand up for our right to swim in clean natural waters, for the species and communities that rely upon them?

Jo in the Water is a feature-length documentary made by award-winning filmmakers with a strong track record of bringing powerful stories to our cinema screens. It is not just about water pollution; it is about connection—to nature, to our own sense of place, and to our responsibility for the world around us.

Featuring Jo Bateman, Jeremy Vine, Jim Murray MBE and Chris Packham.

“Jo inspires people… they realise that together we have a greater strength. In a shoal like this we become mighty.”
Chris Packham, Wildlife TV presenter & conservationist

“As someone deeply entrenched in the fight to save our waters from pollution I’m delighted to be part of this important documentary. Jo Bateman’s story is an inspirational one and she’s a fantastic example to the younger generation who will need to battle hard for their waters. This film is a joyful celebration of grassroots activism.”
Jim Murray MBE, actor & activist angler.

Stunning debut paddle up the River Wey from Godalming to Guildford over the weekend with me special paddle bud - thanks for showing me around and introducing me to the locals Clare 😘

We won’t talk about the A to B element of the plan where someone forgot their van keys. Doh. Taxi! Always a lesson to be learned.

Any local Sussex paddle boarders fancy a day out in Lancing to improve paddle boarding skills whilst also enjoying a little R&R?

Come join this intimate retreat day where we’ll enjoy a gentle paddle along the Lancing & Shoreham coastline, enjoy a fresh seaside picnic, deep rest with a sound bath hosted by myself and Hayley from before finishing with Frazer’s fabulous Seaside Sauna complete with sea dip/cold plunge and fireside sharing.

The morning sea paddle will be a gentle intro to sea paddling or an opportunity to re-discover your sea paddling skills ahead of the summer. It’ll be a great way to build confidence on the sea. Weather permitting. If there’s too much chop we’ll head up to River Adur instead which is just 10 min drive away. Final decision will be made the day before.

This is my debut retreat day after moving to Lancing last year and re-launching SUP & Soul - where I will continue to teach paddle boarding locally, host small intimate water and wellness retreats and events locally in Sussex and abroad 💙
