fluro Friday
With the current risks of COVID-19 we have moved Fluro Friday’s online, until it is safe for the OneWave community to get back to the beach again. Then we are coming back more salty and fluro than ever!
Dress in your brightest outfit at home and join us every week for Fluro Friday. We will have an online anti bad vibes circle where we check in on each other, share stories and help each other free the funk! Everyone welcome.
Join the online Fluro Friday chat on ZOOM at 6.30am or 12pm AEDT every Friday and sign up in advance for online Fluro Friday's and receive calendar reminders below:
WHAT IS FLURO FRIDAY?
OneWave runs weekly Fluro Friday sunrise sessions where the community dress up in the brightest outfits possible and share stories, surf and do yoga to raise awareness for mental health. What started at Bondi Beach in 2013 has now spread to more than 200 beaches worldwide.
Everyone is welcome and you don't need to be a surfer to be involved. Click here to find out if there is a Fluro Friday running at your local beach.
Can't find your beach on the Fluro Friday map? Why not start a Fluro Friday yourself and help kick the stigma in your local community? It is as easy as grabbing a few mates, dressing in fluro and going surfing and sharing stories to help people free the funk. It can be a weekly/biweekly/monthly event or even once a year.
If running the event on the weekend or any other day works better then we will be just as stoked. We change the name from Fluro Friday to a Free the Funk event.
Head to the link below to find out more about starting a Fluro Friday and if you’re keen to make it happen email grant@onewaveisallittakes.com and we will jump on the phone to chat about it :)
ONEWAVE SCHOOL PROGRAM
INVITE ONEWAVE TO HOST A FREE THE FUNK PROGRAM AT YOUR SCHOOL
The OneWave Free the Funk School Program helps students understand it's ok not to be ok and encourages them to use surfing and fluro as a way to free the funk. The program is offered to Primary Schools, High Schools and Universities.
We present at the school assembly where we share the OneWave story, build awareness of mental health and we can also incorporate mindfulness activities. We encourage students to wear fluro to encourage conversations about mental health.
Programs can run from 15 minutes up to 1 hour depending on the goals of the school.
ONEWAVE CORPORATE PROGRAM
INVITE ONEWAVE TO HOST A CORPORATE EXPERIENCE AT YOUR WORK
The OneWave Corporate Experience helps start much needed conversations in the workplace about mental health, by showing the team it’s totally ok not to be ok. You also have the option to give your team the gift of some saltwater therapy.
How does the Onewave Corporate Experience run?
OneWave Corporate Experience programs are custom designed according to your company goals and vision. There is a 30 minute or 1 hour program that can take place in your office and a 3-4 hour program that takes place at the beach. Both programs will include the OneWave team sharing their story of starting and growing a worldwide non-profit surf community, while spreading their simple recipe to tackle mental health issues. The 1+ hour sessions will also have mindfulness, yoga, anti bad vibe circles, team building activities. If you take part in the OneWave Corporate Experience at the beach you will also have the opportunity to learn how to surf.
Why it is important to promote positive mental health in your team?
At least one in five people experience mental health issues each year. If you let your team know they are not alone and that it's ok to ask for help, it could change their life.
Your team gets the chance to be part of the OneWave community and experience the simple recipe of saltwater therapy, surfing and fluro.
Helping people is awesome and it feels awesome.
By creating a culture of wellness, this will in turn encourage and foster productivity, while attracting and retaining staff with greater return of investment.
