What to Remember When Waking:
Disciplines that Transform Everyday Life
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 of building this sense of belonging - disciplines that develop real maturity in a human being. It is important to recognize that 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.
David is the author of 6 books of poetry, two best selling books, and many audio CD's. He has traveled extensively and brings this wealth of experience to his poetry, lectures, and workshops. Using poetry and thoughtful commentary, he illustrates how we can foster qualities of courage and engagement; qualities needed for increased creativity and passionate living. His latest book, The Three Marriages: Understanding the Essentials of Work, Self and Relationship was published in January 2009.
"We are delighted to host David Whyte at the new La Jolla Yoga Center, not only because of the powerful and deep impact he has had in my life, but also for his ability to connect in a deeply meaningful and practical way to all of us in a time of life where we need this type of essential conversation."
