Midlife is the place where we stop trying to be the person we wanted to be, and start surrendering to the person we actually are. Over four immersive days in Santa Fe, David will guide you through the terrain of midlife as a profound invitation: to shed what no longer fits, listen for what’s calling, and step more fully into your second life.

One of the powers of poetry is to establish an inner imaginative discipline that allows us to live a fiercer, more courageous, simpler life at the center of momentous events and besieging circumstances - to create a more beautiful mind, to find a clearer focus, to work from a surer internal foundation, all the while cultivating a sense of humor and celebration that binds the powers of the individual to the larger community.
