The Way Under the Way- The Place of True Meeting with Mark Nepo
Event Details
CEU certificates available upon request
This retreat will center on our connection to the depth of life, that place of true meeting that is always near, where we chance to discover our shared humanity and common thread of Spirit. Through poetry, story, journaling and dialogue, Mark will guide participants into conversation with their own gifts and their own wisdom.
About poetry and the life of expression, Mark says, "Poems are the moments through which life opens us. In this, the deepest moments of life are our teachers. They arrive with their wisdom and become our guides. What they surface becomes our inner curriculum and by staying in conversation with life, we grow. We're all drawn to what we need to learn, which if engaged with honesty reveals insights common to us all. My hope is that our time together will support you in living, listening, and beholding each other. Whether you write or not, I offer that the medicine of poetry and expression is that through raw and honest reflection, we deepen our conversation with life. And so, the purpose of poetry and expression is to make life real, to remove everything that gets in the way, and to help us live. My hope is that through this time together, you will become more intimate with your own nature and more engaged in your own journey."
Please bring a journal.
