Mark Nepo on Time, Tenderness, and the Art of Becoming
Welcome back to the podcast. I am honored to share this conversation with one of my greatest teachers, Mark Nepo, as the first interview of Homeward. Mark is a poet and spiritual teacher whose work has accompanied seekers for decades, including his #1 New York Times bestseller The Book of Awakening. He has published twenty-six books and recorded fifteen audio projects, with his newest, The Fifth Season: Creativity in the Second Half of Life (July 2025), inviting us to live from the inside of the one life we’re given. In this conversation, we explore how wisdom ripens across time, what tenderness asks of us in the face of pain, and how creativity becomes a practice of becoming- especially in life’s later seasons. Mark shares stories from his journey, including lessons forged through fear and uncertainty, and offers his perspective on meeting each day with presence, courage, and care. I can't wait for you to listen.
