Mark Nepo Workshop * Feb 19th, 1-5pm

Best selling author, philosopher, spiritual leader, poet, storyteller, Mark Nepo, will conduct a workshop entitled “Pain, Fear and Things as They Are,” on Saturday, February 19 from 1:00—5:00pm at UUAA. For those who prefer a virtual presence, a zoom link will be provided via the registration process. The workshop aims to uncover and personalize pathways that allow each of us to right-size our own pain and fear, so that we are not crippled by it, or drowning in it, but rather living with it and still moving forward -- fully present in what life is offering us now.

Mark Nepo will also be featured on Sunday, February 20 at both the 9:30am and 11:30am services at UUAA.
