Shawna Porter
Owner & Founder
Lead Paddling & Wellness Guide
An avid paddler, wellness facilitator, and lover of the water, Shawna’s goal is to create calm,culturally-rooted paddling experiences that help people slow down, reconnect with nature, and feel at home on the water. She strives to create an inclusive, safe, and welcoming environment where participants can grow, heal, and connect — whether they’re brand new to paddling or returning after time away.
Moon Water Creative was founded after years of solo sunrise paddles on the Grand River, when Shawna recognized that many people wanted to be on the water but didn’t feel comfortable going alone. What began as a personal wellness practice has grown into a community-centered space shaped by collaboration with other gifted facilitators. Today, experiences include sunrise and sunset paddles, Full Moon Meditation & Paddle, Crystal Meditation & Paddle, Women on the Water, Paint & Paddle, and Forage & Paddle.
Shawna has been paddling for over 20 years and holds her Level One ORCA and kayak certifications. For her, the river is a place of connection — to self, to land, and to the natural world — and that is the energy she brings into every Moon Water Creative experience.
