Mindful Steps By The Sea — A Reflective Shore Walk (Option 3, Families)

Join MindSlí and Galway Atlantaquaria for a guided reflective shore journey on Grattan Beach, Salthill.

Sometimes all we need is a little time to slow down and check in with ourselves — and the shore is a beautiful place to do just that!

Mindful Steps By The Sea is made up of 10 short reflective exercises, each one quietly connecting what you notice around you on the beach with something worth noticing within you.

Come as you are. Go at your own pace. Leave with a little more clarity.

No prior experience needed. You stay fully in control of your pace, depth, and comfort.

This event is open to families and children are very welcome — all participants, adults and children alike, take part in the reflective exercises together. Children must be supervised by an accompanying adult at all times.

Places are limited to 20 and booking is required via the Galway

Atlantaquaria website — https://nationalaquarium.ie/events-on-the-shore/

This experience is funded by the Clean Coasts Grants, 2026. Participants will be invited to take part in a #2MinuteBeachClean at the beginning of the experience.

Please dress for the weather and bring gloves for litter picking.
