How does one turn into one of the world’s leading ocean activists?
What can we realistically do to conserve our oceans and why is art and self love so important in the collective healing of our planet?

Shawn Heinrichs is an artist and Emmy-award winning cinematographer, photographer and marine conservationist. His stunning and often stark artwork is fueled by his passion to protect the oceans, and the profound recognition that people only protect what they love. Join this deep dive with Momentom Cofounder, John Early, from our Indonesia Artist Residency in Sumbawa to inspire your connection with all life on this planet.
