We think of misfits as outcasts at worst, and outliers at best. Misfits are hated (think Martin Luther King, Jr.), ignored, and generally they do not last, because being a misfit is serious business. It is no romantic pipe-dream of a life, but a serious commitment to practice seeing the world differently, and then going public with that vision of difference. Marc’s definition of being a misfit: letting go of things, to save what we love.Marc’s talk will focus on what a misfit is, and the spiritual practices to train to become one.
