Workshop Lead Bio
Meghan Hanebutt McDaniel, M.Ed. (she/her), is a lifetime lover of the sea.
She is a neurodiverse, second-generation Filipino-American and Counseling Psychology graduate student with an interest, focus, and passion for Liberation Psychology. She is particularly interested in how environmental therapy, surf psychology, and liberation theory can intersect to create powerful healing spaces for individuals and communities. She is a photographer, enthusiastic ecstatic dancer, lifetime learner, activist, and dogmom to Wilson. She is primarily a kinesthetic learner, meaning that the greatest foundation she has for tracking and predicting ideal surf conditions comes from thousands of hours spent immersed in the sea, feeling into her intuition and connection with the environment around her. Surfline helps too. She is currently working toward her 10,000 hours spent surfing, as outlined by Malcolm Gladwell in the book, Outliers.
Intention
At Brown Girl Surf we work to support ocean connection and learning in a variety of forms. We believe it is equally important for our community to have access to the knowledge that supports wave-riding and ocean play as it is to be comfortable in those practices.
Our Wisdom Weaver Workshops are offered to build upon our basis of ocean related knowledge so that we can feel self-empowered to connect in all the ways we wish to. We are here to create an entire wave-riding culture in our own images, with our own knowledge, and experiences! Workshops are led by our volunteers or staff as an opportunity for them to practice their leadership skills, share their wisdom and continue deepening relations in community.
