More Together Than Alone with Mark Nepo
Both a moving meditation and an empowering guide, our guest today creates a compelling testament to the power of community and why it’s so essential in our lives, now more than ever. He draws from historical events, spiritual thought leaders, and the natural world to show how, in every generation, our tendency is to join together to accomplish our greatest achievements, from creating education to providing clean drinking water, and preserving the arts.
