Breaking Surface

Let no one keep you from your journey,
no rabbi or priest, no mother
who wants you to dig for treasures
she misplaced, no father
who won't let one life be enough,
no lover who measures their worth
by what you might give up,
no voice that tells you in the night
it can't be done.

Let nothing dissuade you
from seeing what you see
or feeling the winds that make you
want to dance alone
or go where no one
has yet to go.

You are the only explorer.
Your heart, the unreadable compass.
Your soul, the shore of a promise
too great to be ignored.

From Marks's book,
Suite for the Living

Integration and Application

The Exquisite Risk is a doorway that lets us experience the extraordinary in the ordinary. This workshop is an invitation to be in relationship with deep and life-giving material. We will explore the practice of inner courage, the journey of deep listening, the gift and challenge of standing by one's core, and the art of being a spirit in the world. We will delve into what it means to listen to your own life, the gift of vulnerability, the willingness to experiment and explore your own voice, the abiding commitment to respect your own and others' journeys, and the life skill of working with what we're given. No experience is required, just a Beginner's Mind and Heart. And a willingness to listen to yourself and to others.

Our vision for the weekend is that you will have an opportunity to explore new dimensions of life, to discover deeper meaning and purpose in life and to engage in sustainable and creative action within the contexts of our lives as individuals, families, communities and our world. Throughout the weekend, there will be opportunities for conversation Mark and fellow participants.

Please bring a journal.
