MICHAEL MEADE, is a renowned storyteller, author, and scholar of mythology, anthropology, and psychology. He combines hypnotic storytelling, street-savvy perceptiveness, and spellbinding interpretations of ancient myths with a deep knowledge of cross-cultural rituals. He has an unusual ability to distill and synthesize these disciplines, tapping into ancestral sources of wisdom and connecting them to the stories we are living today.
He is the author of several books, including Awakening the Soul, The Genius Myth, and is the creator of the Living Myth Podcast.
As well as the founder of Mosaic Multicultural Foundation, a nonprofit network of artist, activists, and community builders that encourages greater understanding between diverse peoples.
He's a man after my own heart, in many ways. We spoke about how the pandemic has played a pivotal role in our lives as a rite of passage-the isolation and solitude of a coming of age ritual in many ways, and how Michael's rethinking of the meaning of the word Genius, can help us build ourselves and our communities back into forces for positive personal and global change.
