Meet Peter van der Sterre: The Zen of Sitting and Swimming

from 2000 Stories from the Dolphin Club · host A Julie Sunshine Production

There's no such thing as a typical Dolphin Club member and Peter van der Sterre is a case in point. A recent octogenarian, Peter hung out in San Francisco during the Summer of Love before becoming a Zen Buddhist priest and general contractor. He finds the practices of sitting (meditation) and swimming very complimentary and approaches them with the same feelings of challenge and possibility. Both are hard he admits. Hear about his fascinating, philosophical and untraditional journey through life.
