“Know thyself, for once we know ourselves,
we may learn how to care for ourselves.”
~ Socrates
The purpose of life is to know yourself, free of illusions, distractions, and fear. In critical, uncertain times like ours, self-knowledge is more important than ever.
In this one-hour event, authors Mark Matousek and Mark Nepo discuss the powerful spiritual lessons in Nepo’s 2016 book, The One Life We’re Given — particularly, how to apply universal teachings amidst the ups and downs of the everyday life.
What does it mean to be ‘liberated’ as imperfect, flesh-and-blood people?
How do you live as a conscious soul in a world that conspires against sacredness?
Why is self-inquiry essential and how can writing be used as a spiritual practice?
What are the benefits of cultivating a seeker’s life, and how does this help you in times of challenge?
This event has been organized to benefit The Seekers Forum, Matousek’s ongoing life course and community focused on the art of self-inquiry as a path to a more awakened life. The hosts will speak for 40 minutes and take questions and answers afterward.
A video replay of this free event will be available afterwards for those unable to join the live session.
