In conjunction with Michael Meade’s new online series “Heart and Soul”, we are replaying a popular episode that relates to the timely issues and themes of the medicine of the heart and the redeeming energy of the soul.

Each heart can be mined for courage and each soul is imbued with creative imagination. Often we must be driven to our deepest inner resources by fear, grief and despair. Yet, what the heart loves is the cure and what cures the human heart can also help heal a broken world.

The realm of heart and soul is the source of all the arts and spiritual traditions. Meade reminds us of the old idea that “therapy treats my condition and art treats the condition of the world”. What follows is an intricate weaving of poetry and ideas that leads to the kinds of medicine waiting to be found in the depths of the soul.
