Join us this Saturday for Three Jewels Surf Club. We will be joining the Rockaway Black Surfing Association for the Paddle Out to support the Black Lives Matter movement. The paddle out will begin at 9am and will start at 101st beach and go to 109st. After the paddle out, we plan to hang out at the Rockaway Retreat House, meditate and have lunch together. There is an outdoor deck and enough space for us to socially distance.
TIMELINE:
9 - 11am: Paddle Out at 101st beach
11 - 1pm: Meditate and Lunch at Rockaway Retreat House
All of the proceeds of this event will go to Grassroots Law Project. Grassroots Law Project bridges the gap between grassroots organizing and legal expertise in criminal justice reform by bringing millions of us together.
Stephen McManus was originally introduced to yoga and meditation as a child from his mother. After spending many years resisting all religion and spirituality, he found himself practicing meditation as a way to cope with anxiety and stress. After moving to New York City in 2012, he discovered Buddhism through his partner and began a deep practice of meditation and yoga. He completed a 108 hour meditation teacher training at Three Jewels and a 200 hour yoga teacher training privately with master yogini, Coco Korniczky. His teaching approach is simple, fun, and accessible for anyone. You can also find him making memes about his own spiritual journey on instagram (@superspiritual). Stephen is currently teaching yoga and meditation classes in Manhattan, and takes clients for coaching sessions.
