Sustainability- Sea Soul Blessings

Image being cropped on input

Tol Pedn By Samuel John ‘Lamorna’ Birch RA RWS, (1907)

Sea Soul Blessings is a nature wellness company that connects us more deeply to the sea, and to ourselves.

Why we chose this piece.

Tol Pedyn inspires awe at the beauty and history of our coastline. Unlike other positive emotions, we can feel awe even when we feel overwhelmed. Awe connects us to each other and the world around us. It both calms and energises us to take action – empowering us to face the climate crisis together. Tol Pedyn reminds us that Earth will continue long beyond humans. But it also evokes the freedom and wild power we feel in reconnection to the natural world. It reminds us that even the hardest of rocks can be worn away by the sea – offering hope that we can still make the changes so urgently needed.
