Branches of Mentoring

with storyteller & mythologist Michael Meade

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.
