“The Heart of Education” with Michael Meade

Michael Meade is a mythologist, storyteller, and author who has spent five decades translating myth, folktales, and depth psychology into a practical set of guidance for individuals and communities in crisis. In this interview with Robin Beck, Michael reflects on education as a "leading out" of each person's inborn genius, the vanishing rites of passage that once carried the young into adulthood, and what it might mean to reawaken elders and mentors in a culture that has largely forgotten them. Michael articulates a vision of humanity's transformation not as something to fear, but as the very nature of the soul, and of the world we are all being called to help renew.
