Finding the Hidden Beauty in Every Ending | Three Sundays in July David Whyte 2026-07-10 | Three Sundays in July with David WhyteJuly 12, 19 and 26Live & RecordedRegister at: davidwhyte.com/store/three-sundays/jul-2026-seriesLETTING GO: Finding the Secret, Hidden, but Difficult Beauty in Every EndingThe ending of relationships, the ending of friendships, the ending of a work, or even a single line of a poem: all of them difficult, and yet necessary. We find most endings difficult, and yet almost always afterwards, we find we would never voluntarily reverse things and go back to our old life.The poet Rilke said ‘Be ahead of all parting’ as an invitation to a radically anticipatory way of living that is just as committed to letting go as it is to taking on.The stakes are always high in every letting go. In the very seed of the ending and the integrity with which we make the passage from old to new, grows the fresh and vibrant life that emerges so surprisingly from our difficult moving on. The ability to hold to what is firm and true through all our successive experiences of falling apart is exactly what makes a foundation for a new life. The hidden beauty of endings almost always lives in the letting go, clearing the way to seeing more clearly what was there all along.Join David Whyte for Three Sundays in July, looking at all the visible and invisible endings that mark a human life and that, when approached with the right insight and courageous acts of letting go, provide us with the new beginning we need.

An invitation to The Creative Path with guest appearance by Rick Rubin David Whyte 2026-05-07 | Join David Whyte for Three Sundays in May: THE CREATIVE PATHCarrying What is Hidden as a Gift to OthersWith special guest appearance by Rick Rubin.May 10th, 17th and 24thJoin live or by recording:davidwhyte.com/store/three-sundays/may-2026-seriesAn invitation from David: The difficult secret about creativity is that it is an invitation to travel the path of longing—longing for real meaning, real connection, and continual nourishing surprise that can enliven and even transform the lives of others.We associate creativity with discipline and long hours but long hours make sense only if we are following a meaningful central trajectory—one that in the creative act itself seems to issue from our bodies like a comet’s tail out into the world.Creativity is an invitation to transgress—once you take the step toward creating, we always betray our known self and the inherited stories we hold close, the scaffolding of our entire identity, and the structures and systems that held us in place. This is why it feels so difficult. This is why we feel as if we are ‘blocked’, we really, actually feel as if we are losing our sense of self. This is why the creative path can feel so distant and elusive: to create is to betray your home and set off into a distant unknown place.Creativity demands choosing longing over belonging: that choice asks us to risk losing grip with what makes sense—to drop into a state where the familiar self cannot follow a known path. So many things can be created easily and unconsciously—chaos. Resentment, envy—even destruction—can be created on a daily basis without effort or intention. Meaningful creativity is something else entirely—it puts us in cultivated, intimate companionship with the world and with the struggles of other human beings—fellow creatures trying to get things right and failing awkwardly most of the time.To follow the path of creativity is to stay in the unknown long enough for it to become aliveness—and to shape that aliveness into forms of beauty and life-changing insight—the gift of being given new eyes or ears for this world or even a new mind for an imagined future. These dreams beneath the surface made real through our creative gifts, are the fruits of a long and conscious path—a harvest that asks us to keep listening to the inner urgencies our life—and the way those urgencies arrive in all the hours of our everyday lives.Bringing our inner and outer worlds together is the theme of these three Sundays in May. Following a creative path that always asks us to shape a way of being equal to every mode of doing.In the third Sunday of the series, David will be joined by Rick Rubin, producer and interpretive maestro for so many famous musicians of all genres, but also the best selling author of The Creative Act: A Way of Being. Rick has interviewed David in many of his own Tetragrammaton podcasts and is now willing to take some of his own good medicine on the Three Sundays Series.DW

The Invitational Identity David Whyte 2026-01-02 | Begin your journey into the New Year by joining David Whyte for three sessions cultivating a braver sense of resolution found at an interior, often hidden, more fundamental level.THE INVITATIONAL IDENTITYThe Art and Practice of Shaping a Beautiful MindLive or recorded January 4th, 11th and 25thLearn more and register at: www.davidwhyte.com/threesundaysDavid will look closely, through poetry, myth and story at the timeless daily practices that cultivate a sense of real physical presence, real conversation and most especially, real invitations into the world, into the hearts and minds of intimate others and into a more satisfying sense in our work; a life that from the outside looks energetic, creative and zestful, but actually springs from a deep form of rest and a living, elemental relationship with silence. Making real invitations, and asking increasingly beautiful questions of life - of others and of ourselves - on a daily basis, is one of the foundational ways we can practice and shape a more beautiful mind. It is interesting to think that we might be able to practice shaping our imaginations, our perceptions and our minds, for even half hour periods of the day - that we can sound a beautiful note - just as we practice a musical instrument, and that there are ways of improving ourselves that are pleasurable and rewarding in and of themselves, without necessarily giving our over-burdened selves, too many puritanical goals.Creating an invitational identity and an invitational life is of course, no source of immunity from the many difficulties of existence, but it is one that has just as much rest, joy, intellectual and physical enthusiasm and glorious surprise as it does grief, stress and angst.The Three Sundays sessions will look at:1 Stopping the Conversation: turning away from relationships, work and activities that are sapping our powers.2. Making a Friend of the Unknown: living without easy answers. Living with beautiful if always slightly disturbing questions. Beauty as the harvest of presence.3. Practicing Being Brave and Honest: following the path of what David calls 'robust vulnerability.'

Invitation for Admit, Commit, Submit David Whyte 2025-09-06 | A message from David about his all-new Three Sundays in September. Starting this Sunday, September 7, join David for three live and recorded sessions on “Relationship: The Perilous Path of Loving a Person, a Path or a Place.” Sign up at DavidWhyte.comADMIT, COMMIT, SUBMITRelationship: The Perilous Path of Loving a Person, a Path or a PlaceLive & Recorded Sept 7th, 21st, 28thWe tend to think that commitment is the ultimate attainment in relationship, but what lies beyond commitment and what keeps commitment alive, is the mystery of submission to what continually arises from that relationship, and therefore our possibilities for real happiness.In our day and age, ‘submit’ is a controversial word, but in this context it does not mean submitting to a person, a work or a place: it means submitting to the invitational and always surprising mystery that arises between myself and the person I love, between myself and the work I love, between myself and the place I love.The essence and intimacy of relationship is always an ever-changing invitational edge between what we thought we wanted and what we actually, and to our continued amazement, find. ‘Submission’ may be one of the ultimate forms of vulnerability, but refusing ‘submission’ always undermines any on-going commitment.Arriving at a deeper intimacy in any of these three relationships involves the difficult task of first admitting to our love; then committing to our love: only then does the door of ‘submission’ open, uncovering why we might be together as a couple, (or why we might need to part) - why I am working so hard at something that seems to take everything I have, or why I have chosen, at this stage in my life, to live, and live wholeheartedly in this particular place.DW

Invitation to The Courage in Poetry David Whyte 2025-07-10 | Join David Whyte for Three Sundays in July:THE COURAGE IN POETRYLiving a Brave and Centred Life in a Very Anxious WorldJuly 13th, 20th, 27thLive & RecordedLearn more and register:davidwhyte.com/store/three-sundays/jul-2025-seriesJoin David Whyte for a three part series, live and recorded, exploring the way poetry can teach us imaginative and practical steps toward being more courageous, more physically here and less anxious about the world in which we live. Human beings have always lived in anxious times, no matter the epoch into which they were born, the invitation of this time is to learn what particular forms of anxiety are the hallmark of our present and then learn to counter and live beyond these narrow anxieties by enlarging the context and the courage of our own lives. Poetry might be the ultimate invitation to being brave, being present and being generous, both to ourselves and to others. Being brave always ultimately means being our self, but this underlying self is a fluid, moveable almost, unnameable being that only poetry can embody fully. Please join us for Three Sundays in July with David Whyte looking at the daily disciplines, large and small of living a brave and centred life in a very anxious world.#davidwhyte #davidwhytepoetry #poetry #courage

Everything in today’s world can also be a distraction, breaking us and our lives into fragmented pieces, dissipating our powers and rendering us fretful and anxious: the difference between those two lives lies in our ability to pay profound attention in silence to everything that approaches and surrounds us. Deep and prolonged attention grants rest and recuperation, turns seemingly besieging forces into opportunities and transforms far-off hopes into immediate possibilities. Above all, prolonged attention makes us friends with the world again and with those who inhabit it.Join David Whyte for an exploration of the way deep and prolonged attention, and the strategic putting aside of our screens and phones for increasingly longer periods, can open up our worlds to new possibilities. Everything is knocking on our door asking us to come out and meet the world in larger, more exciting and more venturesome ways. Everything is waiting for us to meet it with the energy and power with which it meets us.#davidwhyte #davidwhytepoetry #poetry #poet #attention #mindfulness

An invitation to Start Close In | Three Sundays in January 2025 David Whyte 2025-01-02 | START CLOSE INThe Timeless Art of Stopping in Order to Start AfreshLive & RecordedJanuary 5th, 19th, and 26thLearn more and register:davidwhyte.com/store/three-sundays/jan-2025-seriesThis series is an invitation to reach a deeper foundation, undistracted by our surface worries, not in retreat from the world, but to find a sure inner ground from which to set off resiliently again into our difficult times.In the midst of overwhelming circumstance, no different from our own tumultuous times, in politics, war or persecution, human beings have always been called to a form of radical simplification, to returning to a true foundation from which they can step into a new life: to the making of new promises and the letting go of old ones. Our New Year’s resolutions are but magnified versions of this ancient taking on and giving up. The understanding has always been that firstly we have to give away something precious; something we previously thought was fundamental: then in this giving away we come to ground in our possibilities again, possibilities that were previously hidden by our too complicated view of what needed to be done, and who we needed to be in order to do it.Join me for Three Sundays in January to look at the phenomenon of giving up in order to go on; of finding new promises by letting go of old ones, and remembering those vows that seemed to have been made on our behalf at our birth. The New Year is a time for preparing in our mind to get out on the road again, though we know that road must be taken in ways we never understood before. These three sessions are a way of packing and preparing for that journey from the inside out, ready for the perils and possibilities this new year might bring.DWP.S. I’m looking forward very much to working with the underlying dynamics of making a good start - not only to the year - but to any creative path we would like to set for ourselves in the next arriving season of our lives.#davidwhyte #davidwhytepoetry #poetry #threesundays #startclosein #poet

One of the most difficult gifts a human being can give themselves is the self-permission to pursue a life they have intuited might be possible for themselves, but where they have not dared to grant themselves a real beginning. Join me for Three Sundays in November to look at the way we can practice that every day art and find a way into a future we might have only secretly desired.#davidwhyte #davidwhytepoetry #threesundays
