It is our mutual fate to be alive at a time when both nature and culture are flooded with disruptions and upheaval. Yet, what shatters the familiar patterns can also awaken us to a greater sense of imagination and lead to more authentic ways of life. In times of radical change, it turns out that we are either following the hints of spirit and growing our souls or we can find ourselves shrinking from life.
While we may feel isolated in these troubled times, we are not simply alone. Rather, our souls are the natural source of ancient wisdom that keeps being forgotten, of archetypal energies that can guide and embolden us and of “beginner’s mind”’ which can lead us to the paths our hearts would have us take.
Solving the pressing problems in the outer world turns out to require a transformation of our inner world. This event will focus on waking the soul to its greater potentials and finding meaningful visions and creative energies that can inspire transformation at both the personal and the collective levels of life. In the end, the real risk in life has always been becoming our true self amidst the troubles and uncertainties of existence.
Join Michael Meade for this free online event that weaves together story, mythic insight and an in-depth Q&A period.
NEW ONLINE WORKSHOP
PATHS OF AWAKENING IN UNCERTAIN TIMES
JUNE 14 :: 10 am - 2:30 pm (PDT)
Join Michael Meade for an online workshop that explores how real adventures in life begin when we step off the beaten paths and enter the betwixt and between of liminal space where the spirit of life and the genius of the soul can speak directly to us.
EVENT DETAILS:
DATE: Saturday, June 14
TIME: 10 am - 2:30 pm (PDT)
REGISTRATION: $50
Includes HD recordings available shortly after live workshop
We live in unprecedented times and the maps we have been given do not depict the territories we find ourselves in. Fortunately, our souls naturally carry a life-long project that can orient us even in the darkest times. The problem is that the paths of awakening are typically blocked by received ideas, early life traumas and over-adaptation to the expectations of others.
The real adventures begin when we step off the beaten paths and enter the betwixt and between of liminal space where the spirit of life and the genius of the soul can speak directly to us. In liminal conditions we can shed what is no longer life enhancing and awaken to the paths our souls would have us take.
Such an inner awakening involves what ancient Greeks called a metanoia, a complete transformation that involves, not just a change of mind, but also a change of heart. For when the mind moves closer to the heart, we can experience an expansion of imagination that releases otherwise untapped capacities for healing and renewal.
This workshop will draw upon the redeeming functions of myth and the revitalizing energy of creative imagination that can lead to meaningful paths to follow no matter what your age or current stage in life might be and no matter how troubled the world becomes.

MICHAEL MEADE
Michael is a renowned storyteller, author, and scholar of mythology, anthropology, and psychology. He is also the creator of the Living Myth podcast and founder of Mosaic Multicultural Foundation.
“Because our greatest gifts and deepest wounds reside in the same area; because the resurrection of old pains can be so fearful and painful, people need to be reminded in diverse ways that the inner dream of life, the wise word set within and the psychic gold are the natural inheritance of each human soul. Because it is so easy to forget what we so desperately need to remember; old stories talk of golden treasures and great dreams that call us to undertake adventures and pilgrimages that in the end reveal what was within us all along.”
