Stacy Peralta

Stacy Peralta Instagram – I had a lousy yet typical American high school education and to top that off the two activities I devoted my life to were surfing and skateboarding, both considered dead-end sports in the 70s, that is, if they were even considered sports. We were called bums as surfers and vandals as skaters so it’s with great surprise that today I would be called a “teacher” and to be a guest teacher at any school in this universe is something my younger self would have never believed could happen, but it did. In July of last year I was guest teacher at MEA Wisdom Baja, an American run school in Baja California just north of Cabo San Lucas. Situated on a wide open beach on the pacific side, it’s a cross between a romantic resort and a creative campus, where a small cohort of adults gather for an immersive week of reflection, reimagining and reset. Many issues are discussed and untangled, one of which is transitions. Being a skater has taught me the art of transitions; how to recognize them, how to navigate them, and how to use them to my advantage. If you can’t spot transitions you run the risk of slamming which is the dark art of face planting, so using them to your benefit can radically propel your life in the direction you’re desiring to go. As both a life-long surf bum and skate vandal, I’m very excited to be a guest teacher there again this May. Click on @meawisdom if there’s interest. | Posted on 11/Mar/2024 20:39:16
