About this event

During this weekend retreat, poet and spiritual teacher Mark Nepo offers a weekend program based on his latest book "The Language of the Soul," which uncovers the original meanings of words to help us remember what it means to be fully alive. Words have always been more than tools for communication—they are vessels of meaning, portals to the Sacred, and medicine for the soul. In his new book, Mark explores the deep, often forgotten roots of 228 words from 31 languages and traditions, revealing their original, undiluted power to awaken, connect and heal. This program invites us to walk along a timeless river of understanding, where ancient expressions are reawakened and everyday language is imbued with depth and resonance that can help us live now. For words, when opened with care and wonder, can carry us back to ourselves—and forward into the world with greater compassion, clarity and grace. Registration: Single occupancy $585, Double occupancy $535 per person (includes an ensuite bathroom and all meals from Friday dinner through Sunday breakfast) Commuter $385 (includes Friday dinner, Saturday lunch and dinner) (via Academy of American Poets)
