Mark Nepo:
The Practice of Being Human
Sunday, March 29, 2015
at 10 a.m. Pacific
Dear Dorothy,
This Sunday, March 29th marks Beyond Awakening’s 100th episode! I’m excited to be joined by Mark Nepo at 10am Pacific for a dialogue we’ve entitled The Practice of Being Human: Seeing with New Eyes in the Best and Worst of Times.
Mark Nepo has been called "one of the finest spiritual guides of our time," "a consummate storyteller," and "an eloquent spiritual teacher." His books have been translated into more than twenty languages.
He is a cancer survivor, a journey which had a deep, spiritually formative impact on him. In his 2013 interview with Oprah on Super Soul Sunday, he reflected on how this journey brought him to the belief that listening with a full heart is the key to living a vibrant and meaningful life.
After contemplating the animating question of this series — how can higher consciousness enable humanity to rise to the challenge of our world's increasingly urgent, complex and intractable crises? — Mark quoted Charles Dickens’ opening to A Tale of Two Cities, saying that our time, like every time, is both “the best of times and the worst of times.” As one thing intensifies, it all intensifies.
He is concerned by the enormous environmental, social and political challenges of our time, but Mark sees the whole human experiment as innately hopeful.
I’ve written a longer blog post that says much more about what we’ll be discussing here. I hope you’ll tune in!
To our evolution,
Terry
