Join Michael Meade for a new online workshop that explores how when all layers of nature and culture are at risk, essential levels of life must be engaged and learned from directly. Mythic imagination is ancient and immediate at the same time and can open us to the wonders of spirit as well as the healing waters of the soul.
We live in a period of worldwide upheaval that can also be a time of revelation and emergence. Sometimes everything must fall apart before we turn to the living waters of mythic imagination. The human soul has always been connected to water and to a natural sense of resiliency and creativity rising from the depths below. In the recesses of the soul, where the facts of life mingle with the mysteries of eternity, myth means “emergent truth.”
When all layers of nature and culture are at risk, essential levels of life must be engaged and learned from directly. Being ancient and immediate at the same time, mythic imagination opens us to the wonders of spirit as well as the healing waters of the soul. We are mythic by nature and instinctively tied to nature’s essential and enduring pattern of life, death, and renewal.
Creation myths, when actively imagined, can reveal insights and visions needed to transform life at both individual and collective levels. The archetypal process of descent into confusion and darkness initiates an emergence of greater consciousness as well as a renewal of vital energy from below. By turning to soul’s source-center within, we touch the life-making mud of truth and find the regenerative, rejuvenating waters of imagination.
