Poet and spiritual teacher Mark Nepo takes the stage to present “The Language of the Soul: How the Words You Choose Shape the Life You Live,” his poetic treasury of spiritual insight.

For Mark, words have always been more than tools for communication―they are vessels of meaning, portals to the sacred, and medicine for the soul. In “The Language of the Soul,” he explores the deep, often forgotten roots of 228 words from thirty-one languages and traditions, revealing their original, undiluted power to awaken, connect, and heal. Woven with stories from history, mythology, and the author’s own remarkable life journey, this is a rich and contemplative guide to the spiritual essence of language.

Just as rivers and mountains erode over time, so too do the meanings of words. Mark invites readers to walk beside him along a timeless river of understanding, where ancient expressions are reawakened, and everyday language is imbued with depth and resonance. Whether it’s a word like “courage” or “forgive” or a lesser-known gem from Sanskrit, Hebrew, or Chinese, each entry becomes a doorway into timeless wisdom, offering moments of insight, stillness, and transformation.

For seekers, artists, caregivers, and lovers of language, “The Language of the Soul” is both a spiritual lexicon and a personal companion.
