Special Events Workshop
The Exquisite Risk: Daring to Live an Authentic Life
with Mark Nepo
It is with great pleasure that Penny Wassman and I, both certified NVC trainers, and Hilary Leighton of Royal Roads University are organizing this special event for our community. We have both been tremendously enriched by Mark Nepo's work, especially savouring the beauty and wisdom of his latest book The Exquiste Risk, which we frequently recommend to our clients. It is our fervent hope that those who are wanting to increase their capacity to offer deep presence to themselves and others and to open their hearts without restraint will be have such an experience during this special time with Mark.
Mark Nepo is a poet and philosopher who has taught in the fields of poetry and spirituality for over thirty years. Nominated for the Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize, he has written several books. Of special note is The Exquisite Risk (Harmony Books, NY, 2005) which Spirituality & Health Magazine cited as one of the Best Spiritual Books of 2005, calling it “one of the best books we’ve ever read on what it takes to live an authentic life.” Other titles include The Book of Awakening, Acre of Light (also available as an audiotape from Parabola under the title Inside the Miracle), Fire Without Witness, and God, the Maker of the Bed, and the Painter. His work appears in numerous anthologies. The Book of Awakening was a finalist for the 2000 Books for a Better Life Award, and was cited by Spirituality and Health Magazine as one of the Best Spiritual Books of 2000.
As a cancer survivor, Mark remains committed to the usefulness of daily inner life. Through both writing and teaching, he devotes himself to the life of inner transformation and relationship, exploring the expressive journey of healing where the paths of art and spirit meet. For 18 years, Mark taught at the State University of New York at Albany. He now serves as a Program Officer for the Fetzer Institute in Malamazoo, Michigan, a non-profit foundation devoted to fostering awareness of the power of love and forgiveness in the emerging global community. He continues to give readings, lectures, and retreats.
