Healing Into Life and Death:
Curing is for doctors and gods, healing is a choice.
The healing process is a return to wholeness, a reconnection to your integral nature. For healing to happen, you must be willing to release the habit of clinging – including attachment to narratives that bind you to the past.
In this seven-week course, Mark guides you through an integrative healing process of acceptance, gratitude, and insight. You’ll explore areas of your life where knots of resistance perpetuate suffering, preventing you from thriving and cultivating wisdom.
This Six-Week Course Is $107.00 USD
“Letting go of our suffering is the hardest work we will ever do. It is also the most fruitful. To heal means to meet ourselves in a new way — in the newness of each moment where all is possible and nothing is limited to the old.”
~ Stephen Levine
The practice of self-inquiry helps you to clear away obsolete beliefs, biases, fears, expectations, regrets, grievances, illusions, and attachments that keep you stuck in the old ways of being, and which prevent you from savoring the beauty – and mystery – of the present moment. These lessons are designed to open portals of insight and healing for a richer and more meaningful life.

“Mark started our first class with the words: 'You’re all here for a reason, even though you may not know what that reason is.' Over the course of just a handful of short sessions, I’ve come to realize that not only was I there for a reason, but that this reason was more important to my well being and self understanding than I could have possibly fathomed when I first signed on for this class.”
— Brian Carr
The possibility of returning to wholeness is within your reach when you take the time to inquire within.
