All things are connected. The art of community is discovering how.
In each generation we’re asked to discover, through love and suffering, that we are in our hearts the same, and that caring for each other is the one tribe we all belong to. Based on his latest book, this workshop with poet and philosopher Mark Nepo seeks to uncover and personalize pathways that bring us together. We explore questions such as:
- How can we live fully alone and together?
- How do we inhabit what we have in common as well as what makes us unique?
- How do we hold each other as we tumble along in the story of our lives?
- In what ways can we deepen our daily practice of service and compassion?
To honor the timeless process that enlivens these questions, we focus on moments of community and how they work. We explore the heartwork required to inhabit our lives by engaging our ongoing relationships to self, other, work, community, and our source.
