Mark Nepo – STAYING AWAKE

You can enter your days to the fullest.

Most of us can remember a time when we were awake and focused. When our purpose is unclear, we lose our way in relationship, and life’s challenges seem more than we can bear. In. Staying awake. Mark Nepo invites us to explore our truest selves in all ways, as we find our own voices in the One Conversation in which each of our lives is a story waiting to be told.

Mark Nepo talks about what a gift it is to be here and about the mysteries of being and experience, with a keen view of the vast and often hidden territory of the inner life. He explores the lessons brought to us by the press of love and suffering as a result of his journey through cancer. Courage to stay awake is required for each of us to remember that all is real.

Sharing his own rich poetry along with the inspired writing of luminaries across generations, Nepo guides us in the central practice of staying awake: to be who we are, no matter what we face, and to enter our days and moments to the fullest. He teaches us to hold nothing back, by bringing all of who we are to every situation, so that we can connect with everything life has to offer. Nepo invites us to listen to our own stories and to find our own wisdom using a series of exercises and reflections.

Mark Nepo says that we are more beautiful than any of us imagine. Staying awake. He offers the love of truth and the truth of love that help us live.
