Begins
Tune into a livestream of David Whyte’s annual gathering on the shores of Monterey Bay working with his latest poetry, prose, thoughts and insights; most particularly David’s most recent essays appearing in Consolations II, his second collection looking at the nourishment and underlying meaning of many words we use everyday in ways that are not equal to the power they carry.
Sex, Shame and Death are three of those powerful words, and also the titles of three of his essays. David will look at what lies behind these often overwhelming words, as well as others, such as: Body, Breath, Burnout, Anxiety, Eclipse, Time, Reverie and a word he thinks we need: Unordinary.
Please note: This livestream will be one session from David’s weekend event at Asilomar.
A Morning with David Whyte
