Surfer and artist Drew Brophy has spent decades chasing waves and traveling the world, pushing himself into some of the most powerful and unpredictable environments on Earth.

But nothing prepared him for the experience that would change his life forever.

During a devastating bout with COVID that put Drew in a coma and on a ventilator for 70 days, leaving him paralyzed, he had a profound near-death experience that took him beyond the physical world.

During that experience, he was told, “There’s no time to start over. You have to go back and help the others.”

He said yes, as if accepting a military mission—and woke up in a paralyzed body.

During his time on “the other side,” Drew received extraordinary insights and information about how everything works, how we are all connected, and how much power we truly hold within ourselves.

In this powerful and deeply personal talk, Drew shares his journey from big-wave surfing and global adventure to paralysis, a long recovery, and a life-changing encounter with consciousness beyond the body.

He will share what he learned about our bodies and the energy that flows through us—and how this encounter changed the way he understands life, death, healing, and human potential.
