Healing Waters Await!
Seed Cooperative is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit community organization dedicated to nurturing holistic well-being through creative expression, embodied practices, and accessible therapeutic experiences.
A Public Wellness, Rehabilitation, and Recreation Resource
We envision the creation of a community-centered saltwater therapy lagoon designed to improve physical health, mental well-being, and social connection across all ages and abilities. This lagoon will serve as a multifunctional public asset, blending evidence informed wellness practices with inclusive recreational opportunities in a safe, natural, and restorative environment.
Why Saltwater?
Saltwater offers significant therapeutic advantages over traditional freshwater pools:
Enhanced buoyancy reduces pressure on joints and spine
Natural minerals support skin health, circulation, and muscle relaxation
Reduced chemical exposure improves respiratory comfort and skin sensitivity
Warmer, mineral-balanced water supports nervous system regulation and pain relief
Saltwater environments are widely recognized for their effectiveness in rehabilitation, chronic pain management, mental health support, and stress reduction.
Core Lagoon Activities & Community Benefits
Floating Sound Bath Meditations
Participants rest on buoyant flotation while guided meditation and therapeutic sound vibrations move across the water. Saltwater enhances flotation, allowing the nervous system to relax more deeply.
Benefits: Reduced stress and anxiety, improved sleep quality, emotional regulation, trauma recovery support, and mental health resilience.
Paddleboarding Leisure
Open paddleboarding sessions offer low-impact recreation accessible to beginners and experienced users alike.
Benefits: Cardiovascular health, balance, coordination, muscle strengthening, and stress reduction—while fostering outdoor engagement and community connection.
Paddleboard Yoga
Yoga practiced on stable paddleboards adds gentle instability, encouraging mindfulness, core strength, and balance.
Benefits: Improved posture, flexibility, joint stability, focus, and mind–body awareness.
Saltwater Therapy & Rehabilitation
Therapeutic sessions support individuals recovering from injury, surgery, chronic pain, neurological conditions, or mobility challenges. Saltwater buoyancy reduces joint load and impact.
Benefits: Pain relief, increased range of motion, muscle relaxation, safer movement, and accelerated rehabilitation outcomes.
Senior Exercise & Mobility Classes
Gentle aquatic exercise classes designed for older adults promote independence and fall prevention.
