Honors Series Presents, Mark Nepo, “More Together Than Alone”
Document Type
Presentation
Abstract
Poet, philosopher, spiritual guide, story teller, and New York Times bestselling author of twenty books including the overwhelmingly successful The Book of Awakening, Mark Nepo has been called “one of the finest spiritual guides of our time.” Mark has gathered stories and lessons of community from across cultures and history, with the aim of affirming that, despite the hardships always present, we are more together than alone.
What brings us together and what throws us apart? How do we inhabit what we have in common as well as what makes us unique in ways that deepen our daily practice of service and compassion? To honor the timeless process that enlivens these questions, this book is focused on moments of community and how they work. The aim of this talk— and of his most recent book by the same title — is to uncover and personalize pathways that bring us together.
During the evening, Mark will explore the heartwork required to inhabit our lives by engaging our ongoing relationships to self, other, work, community and Source. The integrity of our heartwork depends on integrating who we are with what we do. Regardless of the service we’re called to, the central questions have always been: How will we inhabit our time on Earth? How can we live fully alone and together? How will we know and be known? How do we hold each other as we tumble along in the story of our lives? How will we care for each other in the face of crisis?
