“I’m leaving this retreat with so much love in my heart and an understanding of how POWERFUL us humans Beings actually are.”
Only three months ago and but two weeks before his failed swing at tearing off Filipe Toledo’s bolted-on crown, Griffin Colapinto posted an extraordinarily personal message on Instagram.
Not for nothing is the twenty five year old referred to as the Gandhi of surfing. You’ll remember he helped cool heads following the furore from Brazilian surf fans after he won the Surf Ranch Pro in May.
And so, Griffin Colapinto’s search for meaning amid the chaos of life is unsurprising.
In the lengthy missive (which you can read here), Griffin Colapinto explored his feelings of emptiness and his search for meaning despite becoming the most successful Californian surfer in over thirty years.
Griffin Colapinto explained his pivot to Sādhanā, an ego-transcending spiritual practice from India and the grave warning issued by Kolohe Andino, a believer in the Christian doctrine, who wrote, “No false idols.”
The phrase is loaded as hell and is associated with the Ten Commandments where it warns against worshipping anything other than the divine.
Now, in a new and equally personal confessional, Colapinto has told of falling under the spell of the best-selling author Doc Joe Dispenza, a man who believes a woman’s infertility can be cured by the power of thought and whose chiropractic degree is from an institution that subsequently lost its accreditation for “poor teaching methods.”
Anyway, pour yourself a long glass:
Who were all there, either to Heal themselves of life threatening diseases and traumas, or just better themselves as people and to live a happier life. On this retreat we ended up meditating a total of 35 hours and all the other time we were being informed on the PURPOSE and SCIENCE behind these meditations. That way when we went into the meditation we had a strong BELIEF and DIRECTION of what we were doing.
I’ll tell you right now. It was one of the best weeks of my life! I’m leaving this retreat with so much love in my heart and an understanding of how POWERFUL us humans Beings actually are. This Practice is changing the world for the better and that is why I’m sharing.
So, when I first showed up I had a thought that I wouldn’t share this on social media, just due to the fact that I thought I could use this Practice to have an edge on my competitors in my Surf Events.
But as the week went on I realized that would be a very limited thing to do and An Unlimited Person does not behave that way. An Unlimited person shares their secrets.
I learned that to Attract the things we want in our life, it takes a clear intention, an open mind, and an open heart.
It’s also important to walk, talk, and act as the person who has already achieved their dreams. So for instance, I wanna be a world champion surfer. I must walk, talk, and act like it. Do world champions speak negatively, judge, gossip, complain? Those are all limited actions.
So to have the awareness to not fall to the limited and stay unlimited is very important. In these meditations is were we strengthen that awareness. We draw the events to us by changing our bad habits and become a new person.
Then the rest is up to life, god, source, the universe, to Attract your clear intention when you least expect it. In a very MAGICAL way!
Griffin Colapinto continues,
The thing about this retreat that’s really game changing is the science side of it. We learned all about frequency, atoms, molecules, brain waves, energy etc. and the way they play a massive role in our universe.
Witch is a huge part of why this is changing the world! It doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t matter if you are religious or Athiest. The science Is what bridges the gap and unites every one of us.
Another mind blowing experience was the Coherence Healing. We witnessed some very surreal moments in this meditation. All I’ll say is if I had an illness, the first thing I would do is go for a coherence healing.
I mean 2,000 people all in the same room with the same intention to heal those before them by sending them their love energy. Cancer, Tumors, Als, blind, loss of hearing, liver disease, depression and much more. We witnessed these healings first hand!
We are all part of a web, each and every one of us is connected to it. A change or healing in just one person affects the web and Change creates new possibilities. Your personality creates your personal reality!
Clearly our world is not in its best state right now. But don’t worry because there’s a higher consciousness emerging! I saw it and felt it.
Etc.
Not everyone is quite so taken by the good Doc, however.
Dr. Harriet Hall, aka The SkepDoc, writes: “He is a New Age woo-monger, a gullible believer in an imaginary ‘Quantum Field’ that supposedly responds to human thoughts and intentions. He was featured in the reprehensible movie What the Bleep Do we Know. He has no evidence to support his claims, only testimonials, fanciful hypotheses, and speculations.”
Personally, my take is whatever gets you through the night. Trannies, jock pussy, faith-healers, it don’t matter.
Kelly Slater has Charlie Goldsmith; Griffin Colapinto has Joe Dispenza.
If it works it works. Am I right?
A week-long retreat costs around $2299 ex-tax. Jump on the waitlist for the Cancun experience here.

Bring back McConaughey
A coach for a day
Griff, let me grab your ear
This you need to hear
Flashback to Finals Day
Things were going your way
I set it up for you, dawg
With my motivational monologue
But what were YOU doing
To beat Ethan Ewing
Surf, just surf
On your home turf
But it all fell apart
From the very start
I don’t know what happened
I don’t question your heart
You’ve had time to rest
Let’s go on a quest
Here’s the deal
In the Middle East
We’ll have a feast
We’ll ride a Llama
I’ll show you the way
To heal your trauma
From Finals Day
Under a sheltering sky
Outside of Dubai
We’ll spend the night
Under the moonlight
In a desert tent
You”ll commit to me
One hundred percent
Your doubts will cease
You’ll reclaim the beast
Griff, it can’t be a game or hobby
If you want to be champ
of Abu Dhabi
I’m working on healing my trauma from growing up wealthy and not winning a world title too Griff. It’s a hard road but if you believe it you can achieve it!
Griff will be walking across Lake Galilee for his next experience.
No false idols. The irony.
I, for one, want to thank Grif for publicly sharing his journey of self discovery and enlightenment.
I didn’t have the attention span to read it all, but I thank him regardless.
What really heals my soul is when articles are more than COMMENTary on insta posts, I think Instagram already lets you post your COMMENTary directly on their site…
The only good thing that ever happens in Orlando is a Gunner Down show.
FUUuuuuucking Hell.

science with no borders, no boundaries…Joe Dispenza really needs a permit to operate. It’s also important to walk, talk, and act as the person who has already achieved their dreams. So for instance, I wanna be a world champion

Gandhi drank his own urine. Cheers Griff.
Not sure if youre taking the piss but you missspelled the quacks name 3 times.
Joe Dispenza is the guys name, and not even he believes in the shit he is selling.
Don’t disrespect Jon Espinoza like that, he is a DOCTOR of paralyzing people who have minor muscle aches
Yike! Even funnier now!
Kool-Aid sponsorship coming in hot
have to admit, I’m pretty surprised that the key to universal human happiness and fulfillment was found in Orlando. Then again, was once in an African rain forest and found nothing but leeches the size of bananas, so maybe shouldn’t be surprised.
Department of Commerce has issued a DO NOT TRAVEL order to Cancun…something about drugs cartels and turf wars and kidnappings, etc. for all BUT TheJoeDispenza Retreat. “Ya’ll Are Free To Move ‘Bout The CUntry…”
Jesus, is the whole world filled with easily led, dimwits boobs, or are they just over represented among the surf population?
I’m going with the former…

Griff-ter!
I hope Griff publishes his letter to Santa Klaus on Instagram this year!
Dear Santa,
I was a good boy this year. I ate all of my veggies and am sharing my toys (and WCT) with my little brother. Can I pleeeeeeaaaaase get a World Title and a Golden Retriever puppy for Christmas?
Derek, you left out the part that other attendees included other famed surfers… Koa Smith, Troy Eckert, Seth Moniz, Jett Schilling, Crosby Cola, etc..

Only other surfers I know or care about are Dane, Kelly, John John and Gabriel, Italo.
