Mark Nepo is the “poet laureate of MEA” and this mastery week will center on the gift and spirit of friendship, based on his new book, “You Don’t Have to Do it Alone, the Power of Friendship”. Friendship is indispensable and you may discover your dearest friends in the dark labyrinth of seeking truth together. Or, in a moment of feeling vulnerable, you may feel safe in the care of some trusted other. We often come upon our deepest friends when taking the long way home, when forced to put down our differences, when humbled to admit that we haven’t a clue where we’re going or how to get there. In the raw and tender space of such honesty, the power of friendship is woven.
