Our Give Back Work
Through the Livin’ Swell Initiative, Sea Blue Company gives back by offering restorative circles, wellness support, leadership development, and community experiences across Cape Cod and Provincetown.
This includes volunteering with the Lifelong Learning Academy, where Maura teaches courses such as Aging with Connection: A Circle Journey for Life’s Next Chapter, creating space for reflection, dialogue, and meaningful connection in later life.
Sea Blue is also proud to support the LGBTQ+ community through pro bono restorative circle work, including facilitating a Welcome Circle for Summer of SASS participants, helping young LGBTQ+ individuals from across the country build connection, belonging, and community as they begin their Provincetown summer experience.
As part of that partnership, Sea Blue has also hosted Summer of SASS residents for surfing experiences and ocean time, offering participants the opportunity to enjoy the healing, confidence-building, and joyful benefits of being on the water. Through the Livin’ Swell Initiative, participants are invited to spend time surfing with Sea Blue Company President Maura Smith Stein, creating connection, mentorship, and memorable Provincetown experiences.
Sea Blue has also partnered with Helping Our Women, facilitating Welcome Circles for community members as the organization moved into its new space. These circles created opportunities for connection, reflection, belonging, and community-building during an important transition and new chapter for the organization.
Maura also serves as a Wellness Coach with Helping Our Women and facilitates restorative circles in schools, agencies, and community spaces—building trust, belonging, leadership, and connection across generations.
In addition, Sea Blue brings the ocean into the work, offering surf experiences and ocean-based activities for women and others who may not always have access to the water—supporting confidence, resilience, wellness, and joy.
Rooted in restorative practice and guided by the ocean, this work reflects a deep commitment to reciprocity, inclusion, and community care.
Livin’ Swell — connection, community, belonging, and a little salt air. 🌊💙
