Join Michael Meade for this free online event that weaves together story, mythic insight and in-depth Q&A periods
As nature and culture rattle and old forms crumble, a crisis of imagination occurs and we are called to see the world with different eyes. Finding a genuine path in life requires an opening of the heart as well as having an open mind. Ancient notions of a sacred or holy heart referred to the “heart within the heart” as the source of boundless imagination, true resiliency and continuous creativity.
The human heart bears an inner flame that can burn with intense passions, but that can also illuminate paths of healing, compassion and renewal. Yet, for the heart to open and the spirit of change to enter us, we must let go of received ideas and self-restricting patterns and attitudes. Transforming our lives requires a genuine “change of heart” as our greatest obstacles secretly aim at a revelation of the heart within our heart.
The heart is a measureless territory that keeps trying to open us to greater awareness and deeper understanding. For, we are each intended to serve something greater than ourselves and when we serve in that way we become truly whole-hearted and what cures the human heart can help heal a broken world.

In a world of deep divisions and growing uncertainty, we need moments of wholeness that can keep our hearts open, ease our troubled minds and bring us closer to the hidden unity that is natural to life and essential for our own souls.
Awe, joy and gratitude involve altered states of being that can break the spells of fear and anxiety and give us a deeper sense of self and soul. Such deep emotions move us because they carry healing energies that can center us and enliven us from within.
Awe can involve states of heightened awareness and wonder that reconnect us to the heart of nature. Joy, unlike happiness, is not a passing thing, but a state of being that can reveal hidden talents and timeless wisdom. Gratitude is connected to grace and to our innate nobility and natural capacity for both compassion and forgiveness.
In experiencing awe and joy, gratitude and grace we can reconnect to lost and rejected aspects of ourselves that we need for survival, but also for psychological and spiritual growth. Since the world will not settle soon, we need to feel that life, despite all its heart-breaking conflicts, remains holy, that healing remains possible and that grace can fall upon us at any time.

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.”
