What to Remember When Waking - Disciplines Which Transform Everyday Life
January 14-16

Most of us have talents and qualities that live in isolation from the world, never finding a proper outlet or focus. This can lead to a sense of aimless, endless adaptation, rather than a growing feeling of belonging and generosity. There are ways to build a sense of belonging – disciplines that develop real maturity in a human being. What we look for is not untrammeled happiness, but an enlarging conversation that can encompass even the most harrowing losses. This conversation is not a Pollyanna search for a hidden key to happiness, but a profound ability to make ourselves large enough, brave enough and generous enough for the triumphs and profound difficulties needed to live even the most ordinary human life.  Join celebrated writer and teacher David Whyte to explore the cyclical, conversational nature of reality and the disciplines that create an identity robust enough to meet its gifts and demands.

DAVID WHYTE has brought his compelling blend of poetry and insightful commentary to public and organizational settings worldwide for more than 20 years.  He is author of River Flow: New & Selected Poems 1984-2007, Everything is Waiting for You, The House of Belonging, Fire in the Earth, Where Many Rivers Meet, and Songs for Coming Home, plus two books of prose: The Heart Aroused: Poetry & the Preservation of the Soul in Corporate America and Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work as a Pilgrimage of Identity. Lectures, poetry and music and a 6 CD series on the process of writing are available on CD.
