Ben's adventures

Time outside.

The ocean keeps me honest. Most mornings you'll find me in the water before work.

Move

Move.

Trips where the point was to push the body and see what showed up on the other side.

200-plus miles in one long weekend.

Warmer water, longer boards, slower mornings.

The only glacier on the Equator. Summit day starts at midnight.

211 miles through the High Sierra.

Sit still

Retreats and practices that taught me to stay with hard things without flinching.

Ten days. No phone, no talking, nowhere to be but present.

A month of yoga and breathwork. The discipline underneath the discipline.
