Description

In this three-part webinar series, join Mark Nepo in an exploration of pain, fear, and grief—our deeper teachers. Eventually, everyone will be dropped into the depth of life. It may happen because of some life-threatening illness or a sudden loss or from being loved unconditionally for the first time or by the sudden beauty of grace. But once broken open, the deeper, relational journey begins by which we truly know that we are alive.

Along the way, we all experience fear, pain, and grief. As human beings, we all experience the tendency to inflate and deflate our sense of self and the nature of our experience. And so, much of our spiritual practice centers on learning how to see things as they are. While this can help us move through fear and pain, grief is another matter. Regardless of what we may lose that is dear, such a ripping away is life-altering and there is no going back. These deeper teachers will all find us in time. Our challenge has always been to help each other face what is ours to face, so we can be as alive as possible for as long as possible in the tender journey we call love.

This series aims to uncover and personalize pathways that allow us to right-size our pain and fear in our journey to be fully here. So that our pain and fear can live in us rather than we drowning in our pain and fear. And to help us move with our grief from the old world to the new in all that life unearths in us. To be sure, fear, pain, and grief are inevitable teachers, and together, we must try to understand their language and their lessons.
