Teacher's Bio
David Whyte is an internationally renowned poet and author, and a scintillating and moving speaker. Behind these talents lies a very physical attempt to give voice to the wellsprings of human identity, human striving and, most difficult of all, the possibilities for human happiness.
He is the author of ten books of poetry, three books of prose on the transformative nature of work; a widely-acclaimed, best-selling book of essays, and an extensive audio collection.
Henry Shukman
Henry has been a poet since youth, inspired by the countryside around Oxford where he grew up, and not just by poets of the British Isles, but also the ancient Zen poets of China. He began a lifelong meditation practice as a young man, under teachers who guided him through a long training in the mysteries of Zen koans. Today he lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he leads the Original Love online meditation program, and directs the Mountain Cloud Zen Center. His poems have won many prizes and been widely published, and his latest book is the spiritual memoir, One Blade of Grass: Finding the Old Road of the Heart. (photo credit: Anne Staveley)
Afro Flow Yoga
Two years ago, David met the marvelous yoga practitioners – Leslie Salmon Jones and Jeff W. Jones (husband and wife), who introduced him to the art form Afro Flow Yoga. Their own description of its effect: Grounding, Energizing, Rhythmic, Peaceful – is more than accurate. We are very happy to welcome again their musical and rhythmic genius to join us for a daily offering.
