MODULE 1

The Fire of Aliveness

There are two fires you encounter daily. The first is the fire of life that can reduce you to joy by burning away all that is false and not essential. This is the fire of aliveness that wants to be fed by everything you do — the light of the soul that must be kept burning. The second is the fire in the world, the fire of circumstance that can burn you and wound you. Once you are able to recognize the difference between them, you’ll know which fire to feed and which to douse, allowing you to avoid confusion and establish enduring connections.

In Mark Nepo's first video module, you will discover how to...

• Be more fully yourself in your daily life and lessen your need to hide who you are from the world
• Know what is worth holding on to in every aspect of your life, and what you must let go of in order to keep developing and progressing
• Recognize which experiences in your life are heartening and which are disheartening, so you can invite more heartening experiences in
• Avoid the confusion caused by the fire of the world, and allow the light of your soul to guide you
  

MODULE 2

Making Sense of What Happens to You

You cannot escape the river of experience, as it lifts, sinks and shapes you. You are birthed and transformed by it, and each experience adds a word to the language of your own wisdom that you must decipher in order to fully understand. Accepting experience as your constant teacher will open you up to untapped inner resources and allow you to explore the recurring learning positions you find yourself in, recognize the harsh yet rewarding lessons that shake you up when you don’t get what you want, and challenge you to work with what you’re given, despite the resistance that may arise within you.

In Mark's second video module, you will discover how to...

• See your experiences as lessons that are guiding you to help you improve yourself and your life
• Understand why paradox arises in your life and what it really means 
• Avoid resentment when you don’t get what you want, and learn to work with and make the most of what you get instead
• Recognize the recurring patterns in your life and the specific lessons they hold as gifts for you to finally receive
  

MODULE 3

Pain, Fear, and Seeing Things as They Are

There are two ways human beings grow: by willfully shedding what does not serve us, and by being broken open. They often happen at the same time and are caused by the frictions of being human, including pain, fear, worry, and doubt. Once you learn how to receive and move through these frictions in healthy ways, they will no longer be sources of dread and inertia in your life, and you will begin to see the gifts they hold to help you grow.

In Mark's third video module, you will discover how to...

• Develop a healthy relationship to pain, fear, worry, and doubt, so you are able to more quickly move through them and learn what they can
  teach you
• Recognize what is no longer working in your life and shed it as a snake sheds its skin
• Accept being broken open as part of your growth so when it happens you are less devastated by it
• Practice the simple yet difficult art of seeing things as they truly are
  

MODULE 4

The Agents of Kindness

Just as the sun causes every plant to grow, the one unnamable Spirit causes all forms of belief to enter the world. And just as each plant has a role to play in the incarnation of nature, all forms of belief are needed for the incarnation of humanity. Our survival as a species requires that we accept the many ways we as individuals journey toward meaning and grace, and the turmoil or peace of the world depends on whether we repel what is unfamiliar or treat it as our teacher. We hold the Universe together by inhabiting the agents of kindness in our relationships with others, both when they are suffering and when they are joyous.

In Mark's fourth video module, you will discover how to...

• Better swim in the depths of life, rather than milling about in the shallows
• Practice radical empathy, allowing you to deeply understand the experiences of others 
• Learn from the ways we break and the ways you are opened 
• Use both your pain and joy to guide you to a timeless place where truth in all its forms comes to rest
  

MODULE 5

The Transformative Power of the Impulse to Goodness

The very force of life that compels plants and trees to break ground, also causes human beings to care for one another and join together. The impulse to kindness and to develop relationships ensures that life keeps going, just as we are born with the drive to get up one more time than we fall down, and to put things together one more time than they break apart. There are ways you can nurture your relationship to all of life that will strengthen this impulse of goodness in you as an expression of your life-force, and help you experience the love of truth and truth of love that allow you to not just survive but thrive.

In Mark's fifth video module, you will discover how to...

• Better understand the impulse to goodness within you and stay tuned in to that impulse throughout your day
• Recognize and nurture that impulse to goodness in others, and be able to accept that generosity of spirit with grace when it is offered to you
• Channel your own connection to the life force to more easily put things back together when they have broken apart
• See all the separate conversations you have with others as part of one timeless conversation between all humans that keeps us growing and moving forward
  

MODULE 6

The Teachers All Around You

Teachers surround you everywhere you go, and not always in the form of other people. Every moment of your life as it unfolds holds insights that can help you live in more impactful and fulfilling ways. Since no single one of us can see or comprehend the whole of life, we need others and the parts of the world we encounter daily to serve as teachers to help us grow. It is important to be able to recognize the teachers you encounter each day that are speaking to you and have something of value to share.

In Mark's sixth video module, you will discover how to...

• Look back at the path you have followed in your life, to see how your interactions with others and the world have taught you how to become the person you are now
• Open up to the many ways you can watch and listen for the unexpected teachers that may arise in your path each day
• Trust your curiosity, your passion, and your suffering to guide you to what you need to learn next
• Share your experiences of this dynamic with others and encourage them to open up to it, too
  

MODULE 7

The Extraordinary Power of Inner Work and Service

Every generation must discover on its own, through love and suffering, that we are all part of the same whole, and that caring for one another is the only way we can truly care for ourselves. In our daily lives, we are faced with the challenge of ever-reaffirming our connection to this fundamental truth and sharing it with others in our family and our community in ways that help us rise to this challenge. This is why it is so important that we regularly explore what we have in common, as well as what makes us unique, in ways that deepen our daily practices of service and compassion, which are the true keys to joy and fulfillment.

In Mark's seventh video module, you will discover how to...

• Better understand the dynamics of what brings us together and what keeps us apart, so you can bridge that gap with those you encounter throughout your days
• Shift away from any reflexes you may have to define your life by what has been done to you, and instead define it by the flow of your caring
• Better understand the ordinary and extraordinary ways giving and serving strengthen your relationships with others and with yourself
• Follow daily practices that deepen both your awareness of your fundamental connections and your ability to embody them in your relationships
  

MODULE 8

Wandering Authentically and Actively Engaging with Life as it Unfolds

When things happen in your life or in the world that remind you how precious life is, it can inspires you to lead a life of honest expression and action as a way of affirming that preciousness. This often begins by reminding yourself what really matters and trying to keep that more in focus even though the rapid progress of the world and the endless commentary of the news cycle make even that a challenge. It is deeply important to engage in active practices that allow you to stay “real,” so you can authentically respond to what happens around you rather than being a passive observer and responding through the lenses others hold up and the demands others place on you.

In Mark's eighth video module, you will discover how to...

• Step out of being a passive observer and enter life with your whole being, holding nothing back that affirms what truly matters by holding nothing back
• Actively listen to others in ways that validate them and deepen your ability to communicate with one another
• Engage personal practices that will help you stay close to what is sacred
• Develop a sustaining practice of gratitude that will be contagious to those you interact with daily
  

MODULE 9

Say Yes to Your Life

Are you saying “no” to life because you’re afraid to rock the boat, stretch beyond your comfort zone, or even feel your feelings? You are not alone. It takes courage to live like we mean it. And when we’re fully alive, it’s because we’re saying “yes” to life more often than not — even when it activates our pain or discomfort. Don’t shrink, dear one. Life wants you to live it fully.

In Kris Carr's first video module, you will discover...

• How difficult times can crack us open to a deeper sense of aliveness
• How signs, synchronicities and our internal compass guides us daily 
• Why every “no” makes space for a perfectly aligned “yes”

MODULE 10

Your Purpose is Bigger Than You Think 

We often tie ourselves in knots while searching for the answers to big questions like: What am I supposed to be doing with my life? But when our purpose is external, we may never find it. What if our purpose is simpler and more soulful? What if it has nothing to do with our jobs or accomplishments, and everything to do with how we love ourselves and others?

In Kris' second video module, you will discover...

• How giving ourselves permission to authentically live out loud is our greatest legacy

• A simple exercise to deepen your relationship with yourself
• Why following our curiosity leads to creating a fulfilling and passionate life
  

MODULE 11

Challenge Your Impossible

Growth isn’t linear –– it’s an ongoing and ever-evolving invitation. The same is true for our healing, whether it’s an emotional wound, physical injury, or illness, setbacks and comebacks are part of the process. In fact, they make us more flexible and resilient. So what gets in the way of this natural experience? Often it’s our own limiting beliefs, fears and expectations.

MODULE 12

Choose Courage

We often imagine that if we were more skillful or confident, we’d be more capable of saying yes to life, when in reality, we’re all students on this great adventure. Our invitation is to focus less on our confidence and instead choose courage. Doing so allows us to keep learning, growing and moving forward. Fear of failure is natural, but an unlived life is far scarier and more regretful.

In Kris' fourth video module, you will discover...

• What “failure” actually is and why it’s essential to redefine it for success
• How the desire to be perfect keeps us stuck, and what to focus on instead
• The #1 most important goal to set in order to activate your courage
• A journal exercise to help you take the first step
• 
  
• 
  

MODULE 13

Invite Your Fear to Tea

Fear is often vilified. We’re encouraged to rid ourselves of it by any means possible, but some fear is normal and holds valuable information. In fact, we can’t amputate any of our feelings and expect to be whole. Our invitation is to learn how to work with our fear and interpret its guidance, rather than allowing it to keep us stuck.

In Kris' fifth video module, you will discover...

• How to sift through fear’s wisdom to find the pearls of insight
• How to tell the difference between fear and intuition
• How to coach yourself through fear in order to take the next right action
• A technique to soothe your fear and bring you back to the present moment
•

Tend and Befriend Yourself 

Self-care is health-care, and it’s an essential and joyful practice for feeling fully alive. Each of us is lovingly called to participate in our health by making more energy deposits than withdrawals. But how do we know what to do in a noisy, confusing and often contradictory wellness world?

Let Yourself Off the Hook

Whatever weighs you down, whether it’s anger or resentment from someone else’s wrong, guilt over one of your own, or an ongoing tension from criticizing yourself or your body, you have the healing power to lay your burden down and let yourself off the hook. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself, and not only can it lighten your spirit, it has the power to lift your overall well-being.

In Kris' seventh video module, you will discover...

• Baby-step practices to ease into the forgiveness process 
• A loving kindness exercise to reduce internal friction and
  inspire compassion

MODULE 16

Follow Your Joy

Joy isn’t just a feel-good emotion. It affects our biology at the cellular level and is a key indicator for our overall well-being. Allow joy to be your compass as you update your vision for fully alive living. Recognize it as a wise problem solver, health booster, and contentment creator. Joy is big medicine.
