Cultivating Resilience Through Connection
With Gregory Flynn and Shannon Patterson

All of us have experienced some big waves in recent years—some we’ve probably ridden with exhilaration and some we’ve just barely hung on through. Coming together in retreat, we can share not only what’s been hard but also what helps us to be better surfers.
