Inner Life, Outer Work Following Spirit, Making Soul
An intensive workshop with storyteller & mythologist Michael Meade
The increasing unrest throughout the world reflects a loss of soul within human cultures. Meanwhile, important aspects of the inner life awaken during just such turmoil. The exact medicines for healing the threats and volatile divisions so characteristic of modern life must be found within the hidden unity of human imagination.
Despite the chaos of the times, the soul still longs for a life fully lived and for work that serves something beyond oneself. For an awakened soul seeks both inner meaning and meaningful outer work. The story written on the soul is intended to be lived out as a mythic experiment in life. This includes twists of fate and hints of destiny that we neglect at our own peril. Through imaginative detours we continually rediscover those images before which our hearts first opened.
Real work can only be found and sustained when connected to one's inner rhythm and psychic flow. If a person cannot find the vitality of their own being they become unable to affect the outer conditions of community and culture. Only shaping a symbolic sense of self can renew purpose and meaning in individual life while finding ways to serve the soul of the world.
To be fully alive, growing the soul, weaving the world, becoming lost in order to find the way, and incarnating the spirit fully is the only thing that satisfies the longings seeded in the garden of the soul.
