Interested in volunteering in your community while helping the environment? Get involved with The International SeaKeepers Society! 🌎 Support SeaKeepers by volunteering at our combined beach + waterway clean up and Yoga/Meditation class to recognize the ocean’s critical importance to the life of our planet!

We are excited to be joined by Awareness Into Action & Art With Me! They will be providing a Guided Meditation focused on self-love and care for the environment, and a Yoga class by the amazing Eugene Gant! This class is family friendly and inclusive of all ages and abilities.
