Seven Sins for a Life Worth Living

This weekend is a cry for freedom from the conventional standards that obscure the call of your soul. It’s an invitation to a life of reverence, joy, and meaning without dogma. A small yet dramatic shift in perspective can lead to a radical new openness of heart and mind.

Writer Roger Housden’s experience is that a good poem can be a catalyst for life-changing action. He uses poetry and group exercises to facilitate an exploration into the seven freedoms that seem to go against prevailing cultural wisdom. These include the freedom of

• Not being perfect
• A sensuous life
• Not knowing
• Being ordinary
• Silence
• Doing nothing.

Roger also delves into the idea that yours is the only life you can save. This reflection on the nature of freedom and pleasure asks deep questions about the way we live.
