Ashes in the Ocean: Interview with Sebastian Slovin

Since he can remember, nature has been a central part of Sebastian Slovin’s life. He was fortunate to grow up in the beach community of La Jolla, California, and spent his childhood mixing it up in the ocean. As a young boy, he lost his father to suicide, which would later deeply inspire his path in life and inspire his writing. Sebastian is the author of The Adventures of Enu and Ashes in the Ocean.  Sebastian is passionate about sharing his story with the intention to help create space for conversations about suicide, mental health, and other difficult topics – to break down the stigma around these topics. Sebastian and his partner Sonya co-founded Nature Unplugged which offers developmental coaching with the focus of cultivating healthy relationships with technology and reconnection to nature. In addition to coaching, Nature Unplugged offers workshops and retreats. Website: SebastianSlovin.Com
