RX4’s St Bees Dip: Celebrating 12 Months of Community, Cold Water, and Connection

This past Sunday marked the 12-month anniversary of the RX4 Community Sea Dip at St Bees, and what an incredible celebration it was!

Over 100 people gathered on the shore to take part in something that has quickly become much more than just a cold-water dip - it’s a community, a movement, and a way of life. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, and the energy in the air was absolutely electric.

We kicked things off with the booming voice of our local town crier, Marc, who perfectly captured the spirit of what RX4 has become. Standing by the shore, he reminded us all how this community was born out of a shared desire to bring balance, support, and joy into our lives.

He noted the significance of the autumn equinox, a natural point of balance, and likened it to the balance we all strive to maintain through RX4. With laughter, friendship, and breathing techniques guiding us through the waves over the last 12 months, Mark’s words truly hit home:

"You don’t need to be more than you are, just be all that you are."

After Marc’s speech, we were treated to a heartfelt talk from the man behind it all, Dave Barnes. In typical fashion, Dave kept it light and fun but also heartfelt as he went through what COMMUNITY really means to him -

Care

Openness

Memories

Unity

Nurture

Inspiration

Transformation , and we have stuck with things now for a full

Year

These are the pillars upon which RX4 was built, and they’re the values that have helped this community thrive for the past year.

Dave’s words resonated with everyone there:

"We’ve been doing this for a year now, and it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come. Strangers have become friends, and through our shared experiences, we’ve inspired and transformed one another. It’s a privilege to be part of something so special."

A Dip to Remember

With the speeches done, it was time for the dip! As always, the cold water didn’t deter us - if anything, it brought us closer together. There’s something about plunging into the sea as a group that brings out the best in everyone, and the laughter and joy were infectious.

After the dip, we all gathered for tea, cake, and biscuits, taking a moment to chat, reflect, and bask in the warmth of the community we’ve built. To make things even more exciting, RX4 Lakes held a free raffle, handing out some fantastic branded merchandise. The lucky winner? Two tickets to our next Reset Workshop on the 26th of October.
