Throughout years of work at sea, we’ve witnessed the therapeutic power of group sailing in open waters. Our deep understanding inspired us to offer this experience to people coping with trauma, grief, loss, or other major challenges, for whom a carefully tailored therapeutic process can be a powerful turning point.

Since then, more than 8,500 participants have boarded our boats.

These participants set out on a dual journey: two paths that begin at the same dock in Herzliya Marina and become interwoven throughout the program.

The first is the sailing journey itself – an active, hands-on experience led by a professional skipper and two volunteers. Becoming part of the crew, participants step out of their comfort zone, learn seamanship and benefit from real teamwork.  

The second is the emotional journey, guided throughout by a licensed therapist who integrates insight from the therapeutic and nautical worlds to serve the participants’ needs.

At the intersection of these two journeys, something powerful happens: People encounter themselves anew and discover their inner strengths, and at that very moment, a door opens to real change.

That is the heart of the Mifrasim experience.
