David Whyte Speaking in Minneapolis
The Core Conversation: Essential Steps for Difficult Times
During times of stress or economic hardship, it is tempting to give up on previous hopes and ideals and withdraw into the basic anxieties of survival. This will be an evening to revisit the core conversations of our work and vocation and look at the essential elements that make up our approach to life.
We will look at the way previous outer successes can often lead to a fatal preoccupation with peripheries in which we lose both focus and a sense of real satisfaction. We will look at the steps to take in returning home to more necessary and saner simplicities.
