Join our Morning Sea Swim Meet Up

Connect with likeminded quieteers for a morning dip at Porthpean Beach, St Austell on Friday 11th August from 9:45am. 

This Pop Up Meet Up is designed to help you enjoy something you might not normally do with likeminded people in a calm and gentle way that feels authentic to your true quiet self. It’s a safe space for you to gently stretch your comfort zone as part of a community of quieteers who truly get you.

We can’t wait to swim with you.

Your Meet Up leader

Hi, I’m Stacie.

I’ll be leading this Pop Up Meet Up. I’ll be here to greet you and answer any questions or concerns that you might have. After years of being told I was "too sensitive" and feeling ashamed of my quieter nature, I have learned to love and embrace this part of who I am. Social settings and connecting with others hasn't always felt easy for me (and sometimes it stills feel a challenge!), and after a lot of self-exploration to help ease those doubts and anxieties, I now know that connecting with the right people, such as yourself, is an uplifting, energising and comforting experience. I hope you'll experience this too and I look forward to welcoming you at this meet up.

What to Expect

  • It’s okay to talk and it’s okay to be quiet too

    We understand that you may prefer to ease into conversation gradually, or that some days you might like to walk quietly and take in the natural world whilst simply being in the company of others. We welcome both quietude and chatter.

  • You can go at your own pace

    You're welcome to join us for a leisurely swim or a simple dip... and we'll ensure that there is always someone with you whilst in the sea. We'll spend some time on the beach afterwards for a chance to chat and relax too.

  • A relaxed, calming environment

    Porthpean is a beautiful sandy and flat beach. The sea is often flat and calm making it a pleasant place for a dip in the water! (please note, we will reschedule if the weather and sea conditions are not suitable).

  • A community of understanding

    Our gentle-natured team and your fellow quieteers are likely to share similar feelings and experiences with you. So here you can connect with people who truly get you - and feel part of a supportive, welcoming community together.

  • What to bring

    The sea temperature will still be cold
