Michael Meade is one of the few people who provides a mythological view of critical issues affecting the world at this time. Here, he weaves a tapestry of mythic tales and cogent commentary that inspires and offers a "mythic inoculation" in times of great uncertainty.
Amidst world-wide crises he reminds that endings and beginnings are particularly mythic, that myth makes meaning out of chaos. He mines a series of “re-creation” stories in which the earth renews itself just when all seems lost. When it appears that there's no time left, it isn’t more time that people need, but the touch of the eternal. |

The modern world suffers from "double exposure" as culture and nature, the "two great garments of life," seem to unravel at the same time. Meanwhile, science and religion seem to arrive at similar conclusions as statistics and scriptures each predict the "end of the world." Is it the end of all time or a time of many endings seeking the vital ground of renewal?
A South American myth, Icanchu’s Drum, reveals that even if the world is reduced to ash, the tendrils of life renew from the roots of eternity. The abundance of Nature arises from the eternal Tree of Life that always finds ways to regenerate. Meanwhile, the human task involves awakening to one’s "inner nature" and learning to hold endings and beginnings together. |

At once a mythic journey, a study in depth psychology, and a treatise on initiation, The Water of Life addresses the roots of conflict and the issues of healing life’s wounds. A masterful storyteller, Meade draws upon the power of myths and reveals his own story of transformation during the Vietnam War.
With a genius for metaphorical thinking, Meade uses ancient ideas to show how personal struggles awaken the inner realities of the soul and shape a person’s life forever. Meade’s writing rings with echoes of truth and “sings with an incantational voice taking you to the edge of elemental knowledge.” |

Using the surprising “Story of the Half-Boy”, Meade shows how culture disintegrates into a “half-village” that rejects its youth and forgets its elders. The path to making the village whole again requires the recovery of the dreams of youth as well as the visions of the elders. For, mentoring naturally engages youth in the work of culture, but also becomes the basis for converting the “olders” into elders.
Mentoring evokes the genius in a person, develops gifts, and helps heal both personal and cultural wounds. This presentation directly benefits mentors, teachers, parents, artists, social activists, environmentalists, all and any who work with youth, value elders, and seek a renewed sense of community. |

Voices of Vets is a surprising and compelling collection of original poems from veterans of the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, and their families. The poems offer an immediacy of experience, both the shock of battle and the emotional and physical repercussions that follow war. Voices of Vets expresses impassioned feelings and thoughts about the horrors of war, the reasons for going to it, and the anguish and difficulty involved in trying to find a way home again.
Voices of Vets is a living document of a unique occasion when American soldiers publicly and poetically shared their wounds with the same courage that took them into battle and were properly received and fully embraced by an emotional and caring community. |

Beginning with cultural troubles caused by fundamentalism and literalism, Meade takes up the soul’s cry for a diversity of beliefs, images and ideas. Using an Eskimo story, The Mistress of Fire, he shows how solutions for both personal and cultural problems require the sacrifice of unconscious, infantile attitudes towards both spirit and body.
With surprising insights Meade excavates the “ground of libido” and the realm of the senses to release vital energies, “embodied thoughts,” and “lunar awareness.” By being willing to work in the human crucible of body and soul and in the passionate struggle to love and be loved, we ignite the divine spark of creation again. |

This recording follows the ancient story of a spiritual seeker who encounters the god of creation and learns that knowledge can be a burden. As the seeker grows into a true Disciple, he must learn the wisdom of trusting one’s deep Self. In order to release the inner gifts and find a true way in the world the seeker must learn the practice of not holding back and break the inner spells of fear and inadequacy.
In following the “way of the disciple” each listener must consider where they give away too much and where they hold back in fear of living fully. In selling ourselves short we fail to find our inner gold, and natural generosity |

Using traditional myths, Meade shows the three steps of initiation: separation, ordeals, and the conscious return to community. Initiation is the way the soul grows and finds its unique project in life. Initiation requires both ascents and descents, climbing the ladders of wisdom, and descending to the depths of love and healing. Through the dual lenses of myth and depth psychology initiation becomes the ideal context for understanding anxiety and addiction, death and divorce, illness and healing.
In this study of the “awakened soul” imagination becomes the essential power which can turn painful traumas and twists of fate from victimization to initiation. |

When the world seems to lose all sense and meaning, it is usually ‘mythic sense’ that is missing. Entering Mythic Territoryintroduces the vital “language of myth” and offers an intensive study of the uncommon ground where one’s inner spirit converses with the Soul of the World.
Using the dramatic African story of the Eagle and the Child Meade opens the “necessary wounds” of childhood to reveal a mythic umbilical tied to the deeper Self. Drawing on traditions from many cultures, on depth psychology, alchemical imagination, and the guiding language of dreams, these recordings work at nourishing the roots of “living myth.” |

According to ancient myths, each soul must make two agreements upon entering the world. The First Agreement binds the individual to a destiny that should become the soul’s great experiment in life. The Second Agreement entangles each person in the limits of family, culture and community. Fate requires that a person experience life fully and suffer the troubles and concerns of the time in which they live.
Each person must accept a particular fate in order to find a meaningful destiny. As Meade states: “If you fulfill all other agreements, but don’t live your destiny, the soul suffers a “fate worse than death.” |

Through poems and stories, ancestral voices and new ideas, Vital Voices calls on the “other America,” the hidden country within the nation, the “America that has not been yet,” the land where justice and peace can be found. |

Meade explains that “peace” means “agreement,” that any lasting peace must begin with agreements fashioned within the human soul. Following the tale of how Old Salt Woman brought peace ceremonies to people, Meade reveals his own story of struggling with issues of war and peace while in prison during the Vietnam era. He shows how war and conflict can imprison the nobler parts of the human soul and entrap entire cultures in fear, hypocrisy and tragedy. |

When the certainty of the world collapses the danger of cynicism, isolation and becoming numb increases. Following a Native American myth that tells how healing ceremonies and artful practices began, this exciting recording offers ways to find and sustain a “bigger life” even as parts of culture collapse.
Also called the “big medicine,” the Great Dance includes finding one’s natural rhythms, innate gifts and sense of purpose. Emotions are gut-level invitations to the dance, “divine influxes” intended to awaken and connect us to the deep Self and to the Soul of the World. Through the healthy flow of the emotions we learn to tune our souls and stay in the dance of life. |

This live and lively presentation presents Meade’s ideas of a “Slow Apocalypse” that can lead to a radical renewal of culture and nature rather than an apocalyptic ending of the world. At root, “apocalypse” means “lifting the veil”, and Meade peeks behind the smoke screens and through the veils of modern culture to reveal something vital trying to break into awareness.
Using the Native American myth, Why the World Doesn’t End and other stories, Meade pulls surprising threads of inspiration and meaning from the collapsing of the modern world. From the darkest issues of the day, there emerge golden threads of meaning and purpose that can begin to weave both cultural and natural renewal. |
