Disclaimer: This was filmed spontaneously in a cafe in Guatemala with LOTS of the local life creating background noise. The conversation with Tim was too fun not to share, but may be best digested by watching the video as sound is very lively ;)

When I was in Guatemala over NYE, I was serendipitously led to a free dive course with Tim Brown. The idea of free diving simultaneously scared the f** out of me and sent waves of excitement through my body, so I knew I was meant to try.

I never expected to fall in love with this practice of underwater meditation, finding a deep sense of peace and stillness in the depths of the lake.

Join me and Tim as we talk about his journey to growing his dive school and how his practice has translated into taking courageous leaps in business, romance, self discovery

From Freediveatitlan.com :

“For us, Freediving is the most efficient way to meditate, the most beautiful way to connect with water, the best metaphor for life we’re yet to come across.

There is a lot of value to be found on the other side of intensity and pressure. Out of everything the experience of life has to offer; love, fulfilment, food, water, there is nothing we want more than air and few pressures stronger than that exerted by deep water.

In light of this, when we freedive we must learn and develop the soft, feminine art of relaxation and detachment. We must be willing to maintain calm even beyond our basic animalistic mind’s comfort zone.

If we are to turn ourselves into mermaids and aquamen we must expand our horizon of possibility. Embracing flow and finding forgiveness within ourselves.”
