Where to Now?

Now that I’ve come out of hiding,

my fears are forgetting to be afraid.

Now that I’ve dropped my opinions

in the rain, my story is too small

to cover my heart.

Now that I’ve put down what I thought

was important, I’m surprised by angels

lost along the way.

How we got here doesn’t matter

and where we’re going is just

something for the mind to chew.

I’ll meet you here, in the palace

that difficulty opens-the magical

doorway, the shape of who we are.

Mark Nepo’s new 3-session webinar will center on the gift and work of relationship-for it is only through the bonds of relationship that we can help each other stay awake.

While no one can live your life for you, the deep paradox is that no one can make it alone. With our society fractured in so many ways, restoring the life of relationship is more crucial than ever. So, whether you are tending your relationship with a significant other, a friend, a family member, or a colleague, we each need to become skilled at empathizing with others without giving ourselves away. In this webinar, we will explore the inherent gifts and limitations of relationship and examine the recurring struggles that we must move through to stay authentic with ourselves and each other. All to build a better net of resilience between us. Visit Live.MarkNepo.com for details.
