Free Online Event This Week! Join Michael Meade this Thursday, May 22 for this free online event about how the real risk in life has always been becoming our true self amidst the troubles and uncertainties of existence. REGISTER: https://store.mosaicvoices.org/products/surviving-uncertainty-by-growing-your-soul (Includes HD recordings of live event) It is our mutual fate to be alive at a time when both nature and culture are flooded with disruptions and upheaval and we can be left feeling overwhelmed by uncertainty and anxiety. Yet, what shatters the familiar patterns can also awaken us to a greater sense of imagination and lead to more authentic ways of life. In times of radical change, it turns out that we are either following the hints of spirit and growing our souls or we can find ourselves shrinking from life. While we may feel isolated in these troubled times, we are not simply alone. Rather, our souls are the natural source of ancient wisdom that keeps being forgotten, of archetypal energies that can guide and embolden us and of “beginner’s mind”’ which can lead us to the paths our hearts would have us take. Solving the pressing problems in the outer world turns out to require a transformation of our inner world. This event will focus on waking the soul to its greater potentials and finding meaningful visions and creative energies that can inspire transformation at both the personal and the collective levels of life. In the end, the real risk in life has always been becoming our true self amidst the troubles and uncertainties of existence. (fb)

New Online Workshop in 4 Weeks! Join Michael Meade on Saturday, June 14 for his online workshop about how to find meaningful paths to follow no matter what your age or current stage in life might be and no matter how troubled the world becomes. REGISTER: store.mosaicvoices.org/products/3081737 (Includes HD recordings available shortly after live workshop) We live in unprecedented times and the maps we have been given do not depict the territories we find ourselves in. Fortunately, our souls naturally carry a life-long project that can orient us even in the darkest times. The problem is that the paths of awakening are typically blocked by received ideas, early life traumas and over-adaptation to the expectations of others. The real adventures begin when we step off the beaten paths and enter the betwixt and between of liminal space where the spirit of life and the genius of the soul can speak directly to us. In liminal conditions we can shed what is no longer life enhancing and awaken to the paths our souls would have us take. Such an inner awakening involves what ancient Greeks called a metanoia, a complete transformation that involves, not just a change of mind, but also a change of heart. For when the mind moves closer to the heart, we can experience an expansion of imagination that releases otherwise untapped capacities for healing and renewal. This workshop will draw upon the redeeming functions of myth and the revitalizing energy of creative imagination that can lead to meaningful paths to follow no matter what your age or current stage in life might be and no matter how troubled the world becomes. DURING THIS WORKSHOP YOU WILL LEARN: * How entering the betwixt and between space of liminality is necessary for both healing and transformation to occur. * How troubled times can cause an acceleration of calling that opens the pathways of genius and imagination that can satisfy our souls, but also be our best way of serving the world. * How waking the inner initiate can turn a crisis into an awakening that opens the way for a genuine expansion of our soul. * How each person is uniquely called to find pathways to the sacred and experience the presence of the divine. WORKSHOP THEMES INCLUDES: * Living in Liminal Times * Waking the Inner Initiate * Kairos and Awakened Time * Seeing with the Eyes of the Heart * Tuning to Our Genius Nature (fb)
