Inner Peace Rising

Inner Peace Rising Run by an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and therapist, I teach kids that Skateboarding & movement can be the middle finger to stagnant growth.

Confidence, creativity, resilience, communication, all through physical expression. It works.

27 years on a skateboard and getting tricks back that you have had in your toolbox some time ago seems SO much harder these days. Good god man. This one kicked my ass.

Did get me thinking about something though in that skateboarding has been so comfortable for me, yet still so humbling in almost every way.  

For the kids that come through Inner Peace, skateboarding is SO uncomfortable, until it isn’t. Imagine stepping on a board with no clue what you’re doing, and that you can get really really hurt. Or, going on a 10 mile hike in the middle of the woods, not knowing what is out there but being adventurous to connect with nature and finding that payoff view 🥹

This will continue to be something where I get kids out skateboarding, hiking, and taking on difficult challenges that show them just how capable they really are.

Just wanted the raw audio here, because this is the energy I bring to your kids EVERY SINGLE SESSION, whether it’s here or out in nature. I’m still a kid at heart myself.

This is why I post this stuff. Not so much for the highlight reel or content (well, maybe a little 😂) but for the grit they show, as well as the progress on and off the board.

Bennett learning how to push, shift his weight, and understanding this isn’t the most glamorous side of skating, and then rip 25+ runs in a row with a smile coming oh so close to hitting the coping on his own.

Then we have Kaylee who just started and already looks obsessed. Sorry Mom and Dad. We’ve created a monster 😂 Zero hesitation, asking questions, taking slams, wanting more.

This is why I’m in love with skateboarding, and have always been. Now I get to also teach and watch kids realize they’re capable of hard things in real time, unleashing full potential and natural chemicals in the brain to help them create even more healthy habits they can implement in every aspect of their lives. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
