Light Up The World: An inspirational interview with author & speaker, Mark Simpson

A corporate lawyer who started to look deeper and deeper in to his experience, Mark Simpson honoured the callings of yoga, zen monastic retreats, & self-inquiry which lead him on a journey to revolutionise the way he lives his life.

Inspired by some of the great mystical poets including Rumi, Mark shares how his creative writing journey formed an inherent part of his awakening & self-liberation.

Join us as we explore with Mark:

- The need for a greater sense of kindness, connection and timeless wisdom in our modern life;

- The inner conflict that can arise between the ‘head’ and the ‘heart’ on the journey to honouring our inner wisdom;

- The conflict between society’s pre-conceived notions of success & the Soul’s yearning for deep fulfilment;

- Incompatibility between deeper inner work & maintaining societal norms & expectations;

- Profound effect of spending time with other people who are embodying deeper wisdom & truths
and how this inner strength and courage seems to transfer on to those who are open & ready to receive it;

- The power of retreats, bodywork, meditation, yoga & physically moving stagnant energy
in opening to experiencing the heart as the centre point of consciousness;

- Tendency for some of us earlier on in our path to use meditation as an ‘escape’ or bi-pass what is unfolding in our life,
& how to integrate a deeper peace in to our daily life;

- How TRUE freedom is beyond ALL measure, including having the freedom to lead our own unique & authentic expression of life;

- The ‘Four Immeasurables’ of True Love: loving-kindness, compassion, joy (particularly in the well-being of others) & inclusiveness or equanimity;

- Integration of the masculine & feminine within ourselves & the impact of inner balance (or imbalance) has on the collective society;

- The immeasurable gifts of experiencing deep insight & peace despite external chaos or conflict. 

- The difference between an egoic wanting of ‘more’ in life; and a Soul yearning for deep fulfilment;

- How the journey of meeting some of the deeper & darker aspects of ourselves & coming in to a greater sense of wholeness assist us in meeting some of the deeper & darker aspects of humanity.

- Learning how to create change from a place of hope rather than anger.
