The Well of Light and Insight Lecture Series present David Whyte, Poet, Author April 17, 2010, 10 am to 4pm What to Remember When Waking: Veteran’s Hall, 255 S. Auburn St., Grass Valley, CA 95945 Most of us have talents and qualities that live in isolation from the world, never finding a proper outlet or focus. This can lead to a sense of aimless, endless adaptation, rather than a growing feeling of belonging and generosity. There are ways of building this sense of belonging - disciplines that develop real maturity in a human being. It is important to recognize that what we look for is not untrammeled happiness, but an enlarging conversation that can encompass even the most harrowing losses. This conversation is not a Pollyanna search for a hidden key to happiness, but a profound ability to make ourselves large enough, brave enough and generous enough for the triumphs and profound difficulties needed to live even the most ordinary human life.

A captivating speaker with a compelling blend of profound poetry and insightful commentary, David Whyte is one of the few poets to take his perspectives on creativity into the field of organizational development, where he works with a diverse international clientele. He holds a degree in Marine Zoology and is the recipient of an Honorary Degree from Neumann College, as well as an Associate Fellow of the Said Business School at the University of Oxford. He has traveled extensively, including working as a naturalist guide and leading anthropological and natural history expeditions in the Galapagos, the Andes and the Himalyayas. He brings this wealth of experience to his poetry, his lectures and his workshops. In organizational settings, David Whyte illustrates how we can foster qualities of courage and engagement; qualities needed if we are to respond to today’s call for increased creativity and adaptability in the workplace. An outstanding, sought-after speaker whose client list reads like a Who’s Who in international business, he brings a unique contribution to our understanding of the nature of individual and organizational change. David Whyte is the author of six volumes of poetry and three books of prose: The Three Marriages: Reimagining Work, Self & Relationship, (Riverhead 2009), Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work as a Pilgrimage of Identity, (Riverhead 2001) and The Heart Aroused: Poetry and the Preservation of the Soul in Corporate America (Doubleday/Currency 1994). His most recent poetry book, River Flow: New & Selected Poems 1984-2007, was published in 2007. His previous five volumes include Everything is Waiting for You, The House of Belonging, Fire in the Earth, Where Many Rivers Meet, and Songs for Coming Home.

Biology of Belief: Mind Over Genes We are living in exciting times, for science is in the process of shattering old myths and rewriting a fundamental belief of human civilization. The belief that we are frail, biochemical machines controlled by genes is giving way to an understanding that we are powerful creators of our lives and the world in which we live. Mind Over Genes is a journey that takes you into the world under a microscope, through the history of evolution and into the subtle realms of your own consciousness. Drawing upon insights from cell biology, quantum physics, and fractal mathematics, Bruce unveils a revolutionary vision of life science that reveals the hidden connections among biology, psychology and spirituality. Rich in detail yet accessible to the layperson, this multi-media presentation illuminates the path to self-empowerment and provides a glimpse of our positive future and a way to get there from here.
Bruce’s presentation will explore:
About Bruce Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., bestselling author of The Biology of Belief, is a cellular biologist and former Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin's School of Medicine. His pioneering research on cloned stem cells at Wisconsin presaged the revolutionary field of epigenetics, the new science of how environment and perception control genes. Bruce’s later research at Stanford University’s School of Medicine revealed the nature of the biochemical pathways that bridge the mind-body duality. Bruce’s new book, Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future (And A Way To Get There From Here), with co-author Steve Bhaerman, was released in September 2009. ******* Save the Date!
