Living Archive of Ralph De La Rosa’s Teachings:
This page gathers recorded courses and teachings by Ralph De La Rosa. These teachings are shared here as a living archive — not as a fixed body of doctrine, but as an ongoing conversation rooted in compassion, trauma-informed care, and embodied meditation practice.
Ralph’s work was shaped by their own lived experience, years of contemplative practice, and a deep commitment to making meditation accessible, relational, and responsive to trauma. These courses reflect different moments in time, different audiences, and different needs. The care and intention beneath them remain constant.

“When it comes to your heart, stay far away from the narrowing activity of grasping at results and dwell instead in the dreamlike dance of discovery. Stay in the adventure of expansion, of outshining.”
