No matter how many conversations I

start, they all end with me kneeling at

the same deep well. And drinking there,

I find you and remember who I am.

—MN

 

I am excited to offer a yearlong journey over four weekends for those interested in a longer, more intimate experience. I am weaving themes for this journey from two new books, Surviving Storms: Finding the Strength to Meet Adversity and Falling Down and Getting Up: The Practices That Keep Us Human.

This journey will create a chance to work in a smaller group setting as a way to deepen your own path over a year of your life. The aim will be to engender a live and safe space in which we can compare notes on what it means to be alive. The group will explore the lifelong process of listening, reflecting, and expressing, and on how bearing witness to the truth of living reveals the mysteries of life.

Our weekends will focus on these themes: “The Gift of Relationship: Helping Each Other Stay Awake,” ”Falling Down and Getting Up,” “Fear, Pain, and Grief: The Deeper Teachers,” and “Surviving Storms: Finding the Strength to Meet Adversity.”

 

It is my hope that through our time together, you will continue to personalize the practice of being human, so you can live closer to your core. It is my aim, through our company, that you will discover the inner resources and outer skills to stand more deeply in your life and better know your heart. It is my commitment that this journey into authenticity and listening will enhance your ability to integrate who you are with what you do in the world. My goal is that you will leave more whole, with a more enlivened sense of what it means to be a spirit in the world.

Beer and Wine

Kalamazoo is a big craft, micro-brew, etc. beer town.  So many we can’t keep up anymore, but the most famous and oldest is Bell’s Beer. See this website, and pay attention to the Kalamazoo sites. http://www.beeradvocate.com/place/city/43/.

Tiffany’s (different than the breakfast restaurant) is also a good place for wine, cheese, etc.  http://www.aatiffany.com/
