Watch the Art of Sea-ing

As islanders, we know how the calming sights and sounds of the ocean can help us feel at peace. In this video, artist Rochelle Chinnery expertly describes a transformation that happened for her as part of her relocation to Hornby from a previous life in the urban world. Rochelle adeptly describes the psychological experience of transformation through a lens of Eco-psychology. She skillfully uses story to describe a process of parasympathetic nervous system activation that effectively lowered her personal stress and enhanced mindfulness. She skillfully uses photographic imagery and a soundscape accompaniment by Chelka to beautifully illustrate how time by the ocean can improve focus, creativity, and health. We hope you enjoy this journey.
