Lexington Community Education presents An Evening with Mark Nepo

Inside the Miracle: Suffering, Resilience, and Healing – an Evening with bestselling author, Mark Nepo

Beloved as a poet, teacher, and storyteller, Mark Nepo has been called "one of the finest spiritual guides of our time". In 1987, Mark Nepo was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma. The heart of that journey and its aftermath has greatly informed his work. In 1994, Mark published and recorded a landmark book, Inside the Miracle, about the nature of suffering and resilience. The book had a greater reach than anyone imagined.

Sounds True is now publishing a new, expanded edition of Inside the Miracle, which gathers twenty-eight years of Mark's writing and teaching about suffering, healing, and wholeness. Of the book, Mark says, "One of the great transforming passages in my life was having cancer in my mid-thirties. This experience unraveled the way I see the world and made me a student of all spiritual paths. Our trials may differ in heat and length, but at the core, we are the same. We need each other, we need insight, and we need help.”

This event will be held on Thursday, March 10 from 7:00-8:30pm at the Lexington Depot. The cost of the event is $10.00.
