Surfing the Wave of What Is

Surfeando la Ola de Lo Que Es

This session explores the metaphor of surfing as a model for relating to life without resistance, examining how fixation and the desire for things to be different create suffering. The teacher distinguishes surrender from resignation, encouraging deep intimacy with present experience—including physical discomfort and illness—as the path to aliveness. Themes of devotion, beauty, and understanding are presented as inseparable paths toward freedom from the struggle with what is.
