  THE BOOK OF AWAKENING: HAVING THE LIFE YOU WANT BY BEING PRESENT TO THE LIFE YOU HAVE, A YEARLONG JOURNEY FOR 2013 GUIDED BY MARK NEPO

SPRING 2013 - SPRING 2014 Starts: March 15, 2013 Ends: March 14, 2014

FOUR WEEKENDS (FRI. 6:00-9:00 P.M., SAT. 9:30-5:30 P.M., SUN. 9:30-12:30 P.M.): MARCH 15-17, 2013, JUNE 14-16, 2013, OCT 25-27, 2013, MARCH 14-16, 2014

Grateful and awake, ask what you need to know now.
Say what you feel now. Love what you love now.

This journey offers a chance to work with Mark in a small group setting as a way to deepen your own path in the company of a small circle over a year of your life. The group will meet for four weekend retreats in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

The course is based on Mark's New York Times #1 bestseller The Book of Awakening, which Oprah Winfrey chose as one of her "Ultimate Favorite Things." Mark and the book were featured in an interview with Oprah on her Super Soul Sunday program on OWNTV. The book has been translated into more than twenty languages. Beloved as a teacher, poet, and storyteller, Mark is a gentle guide on our journey to discover our personal truths. The course will explore our ongoing need to stay vital and in love with this life, no matter the hardships we encounter. It is an invitation to personalize the common and unrepeatable journey we all encounter in our time on earth. Topics will include "Being Kind," "Meeting the World," "The Stones in the Way," "The Need to Continue," "To Know Someone Deeply," "The Pain of Becoming," "The Magic of Peace," and "Facing Sacred Moments." Using ancient and contemporary stories, poetry, journaling and dialogue, Mark will invite participants to personalize and deepen their own practice of being human. This course is an invitation to engage the work of being human and to stay in relationship to your deepest nature and to life itself.

We travel so far only to land where we are. We imagine other lives, only to meet who we are. We seek out love in special ways, only to find everyone is special. Humbly, we can't avoid this journey. It is precisely through it that, if blessed, we wake to the life we want by being present to the life we have. In this timeless, common way, we venture out into the life of experience, only to rediscover more deeply what lives at the center. In this way, as our soul meets the days, we are always beginning. In this way, our very lives are a book of awakening, just waiting to be read by our heart and lived on our path. —Mark Nepo
