Why Conscious Breath Adventures?

Conscious Breath Adventures. An explanation of the name is also an explanation of the philosophy. Whales, dolphins and porpoises are in the order of mammals known as cetaceans. One distinctive characteristic of cetaceans is that they are all conscious breathers; they consciously choose when to take every breath of their lives. So the name implies that we facilitate adventures that focus on cetaceans, which is true. But take a closer look at the words, and what they mean.

Consciousness is defined as awareness. It is likely that guests of Conscious Breath Adventures will be personally, environmentally, and globally conscious and aware individuals. We will help to elevate this consciousness in our guests, and in others.

Breath is analogous with inspire. It is the intention of Conscious Breath Adventures that the experiences our guests have while on one of our expeditions will further inspire them to be more aware and to spread that consciousness; to be inspired to educate others; to be inspired to serve and protect our planet and all the creatures with which we share its surface and its waters.

And an Adventure is a remarkable and exciting experience! It is the power of the experience that guests have while in the presence of these fabulous creatures that will open them to the lessons we all must learn and share if we are to protect them and all other life as well. And, of course, everyone loves an adventure!

It has wisely been said that people only preserve what they care for, and people only care for what they know and understand. Guests of Conscious Breath Adventures will be educated about humpback whales, and through that education gain the knowledge and the understanding. But for the guests on the Silver Bank, it is the sublime experience that they have while in the whale's world, on the whale's terms, that will make them truly care, and want to preserve and protect.
