Refund and Event Policies

Learn to be present with various impulses, to recognize that it is their nature to peak and diminish all on their own. Join us either by Zoom online or in-person at the Santa Monica Meditation Center.

Surfing the Waves of Experience
In this weekly guided meditation, you’ll be invited to surf the waves of cravings, urges and emotions in a non-reactive, kind and observational manner.

As we expand our capacity to remain present with various impulses, we recognize that just like a wave, they arise and dissipate all on their own.

By allowing for the shifting energy of this natural process, we find our lives become infused with ease. 

Expect a 5-minute introduction followed by a 30-minute guided meditation and ending with 10 minutes for Q&A with the teacher.

Who is this practice for?
This meditation is suitable for all and especially supportive for beginners and those in recovery.

Where is this event located?
