Easy family, kind children, sweet ex husband, a dog that doesn’t bark, sunny skies, everyone in good health. Even with all the sorry shenanigans going on in the world, there is this love I feel for this bunch. This lucky little pod, my people. ❤️ .

Friends,

Since the election – which woke many of us up into a world we weren’t expecting – two questions feel important to me: How will we meet this moment as writers and citizens? And how will each of us use our voices as beacons of beauty and connection in the new world?

On December 6th we welcome poet, spiritual friend and guide, Mark Nepo, into the classroom to consider these questions with us, and to help us carve a path from the heart to the page and into the world.

Mark is a master teacher, a benevolent soul, and his style of weaving story with poetry, with myth and modern life are transformative. As a writer, sitting in circle with Mark deepens my awareness and my commitment to how I mean to show up on the page, and in life – especially now when the world needs our voices the most.

27 Powers is pleased to be able to bring Mark to you for an online class which includes in class writing and the kind of deeper discussion that Mark brings alive in his teachings. You do not need to be a writer to join us, only someone who wants to reach into the material of their own life and make something beautiful and meaningful from it.

When you run a 10-day meditation, wild writing, story telling workshop in Kathmandu and it doesn’t feel like work because you are teaching with dear, old friends, each of us seasoned, each of us paying attention to the other, learning, listening, loving. I’m grateful for these two brothers of mine. ❤️ .

It’s hard to sum up this story in some quirky paragraph. These are Indian women and their children in the beggar’s camp that @jameshopkinsnepal works with. The women are talented quilt makers, and every quilt they make and which James sells takes one of these kids off the street and puts them in school for a year. They are adorable and dirty and dear. When they met James they were all begging, now the women are making money and the kids are off the street. Find out more about james and his work, at @quilts4kidsnepal .
