Join us on "Going Shamanic" on Nov 24 at 7:30 pm PST when Jennifer Engracio interviews Stephen Jenkinson on the topic of grieving.  We have all had losses in life.  Learn what grieving well has to do with deep living on the show today.

Stephen Jenkinson is a teacher, author, storyteller, spiritual activist, ceremonialist and founder of the Orphan Wisdom School, a teaching house and learning house for the skills of deep living and making human culture. It is a redemptive project that comes from where we come from. It is rooted in knowing history, being claimed by ancestry, and working for a time we may not see.  (http://orphanwisdom.com)

2014 - Going Shamanic 'Walking with Grief', Jennifer Engracio interviews Stephen Jenkinson

From New Dimensions Radio -- Michael Meade joins host, Justine Willis Toms, for a lively and rich discussion of the new book, Why the World Doesn't End. Topics include the meaning of apocalypse, living in a betwixt and between time, and why the world cannot end.

Why the World Doesn't End

From KBOO Radio -- This recording offers Michael Meade's mythic view of modern economic troubles and the loss of soul that plagues both culture and Nature. Using an ancient myth, Meade shows that creation has two hands: a spirit hand that brings bright beginnings, and a soul hand that touches darkness and knows how to be creative in troubled times.
Full of great wit and healing humor, rich with surprising insights and compelling stories this recording weaves a path through modern troubles while constantly showing how soul would have us understand who we are individually and what we serve collectively. "When all seems lost, the things that are most essentially ours can be found again."

2015 - Dying Wise In A Death Phobic Society, Daniel Vitalis interviews Stephen Jenkinson

We are living in a world desperately out of balance:  extreme climate uphealval;  corporations who are killing the planet that feeds them for next-quarters profit; and humans who sacrifice their relationship to the natural world and each other, in constant search for new shiny technology.  What can help return us to right relationship with the rest of the planet?  How do we change the story that says human beings "conquer" nature?

Humans are made up of stories as much as we are made of  atoms --  and we are very attached to those stories. How do we find more compelling stories to bring us back to having a sane realationship to the natural world.... Micheal Meade says one tool we have is the Power of Imagination.

 He finds heart in the intersection of three movements: The Social Justice Movement, The Climate Activist Movement and The Mythology Movement.  Not much is said about the Mythology Movement, a subject addressed in this interview.

The Power of Imagination - Interview with KBOO

Physician and award winning author, Dr Gabor Mate, discusses his
research at the intersection of addiction, science, psychology, and
compassion

Gabor Maté: The Mind/Body Connection

Michael Meade and Terry Patten talk about how, whether rich or poor, we are all being pushed to the margins to face our brokenness during this time of “apocalypsis” — in which both collapse and renewal are unveiling all that has been hidden.

They talk about how adversity in the margins, at the edge, is what triggers each person’s unique genius and gifts, and thus is the source of renewal. In our time, this fomenting of unique genius in the margins takes on added importance, since there is no one “right” solution for the numerous, complex problems in the world. Instead, there are many solutions waiting to be awakened in each person.


The World is in Trouble and it Needs Your Genius - Interview on Beyond Awakening with Terry Patten

Reading, music, and conversation
January 20, 2016 | ALOUD @ Los Angeles Public Library

Allen Ginsberg spoke of “the voice in the burning bush,” that illuminates as in a fire, yet never destroys even as it burns. Luis Rodriguez, L.A. Poet Laureate; Michael Meade, author, storyteller, and mythologist; and John Densmore, musician and author, have all been at the forefront of sparking social and cultural change, seeking to push the boundaries of their disciplines in order to open greater possibility for human connectivity and healing. In a world of turmoil and destruction, how can we learn to speak to each other? Share in an illuminating evening of readings, stories and performance to fuel our minds and souls.

Burning Voices: Stories that Fuel Us

Michael Meade joins hosts Lyn Moelich and Ani Haines for a timely and compelling conversation about the upheaval in nature and culture and how awakening our inner genius can serve as an antidote to the increasing levels of fear and despair during this time of great churning and transformation in the world.

The World is Churning and It Needs Your Genius - Interview with KBOO Radio

Michael Meade joins hosts Jed Ward and Damien Able on their podcast "Vajra Body Vajra Mind".  They talk about each person's natural gifts and how, by giving our gifts, we experience meaning.  The conversation also explores talent vs. genius, the call of the muses, staying close to our wound, the importance of rites of passage and much more.

Our Natural Gifts - Interview on "Vajra Body Vajra Mind" Podcast

This podcast is a recording of a second conversation between me and Rupert Sheldrake, one of my favorite renegade scientists and the number one target of the defenders of scientific orthodoxy. He hardly needs any introduction, but I'll say he is prolific author and researcher with a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Cambridge University.  I see him as an elder or a pioneer in the liberating of science from its metaphysical dogmas of reductionism and mechanistic materialism, and a true practitioner of the Scientific Method in its original humble spirit. I hope you'll enjoy the intellect and refinement of this man as much as I did.

In Conversation with Rupert Sheldrake (E16)- A New and Ancient Story

Michael Meade joins Portland, OR radio station KBOO to talk about how we can respond to the daily onslaught of fear and lies coming from the Trump administration.  When entire communities are living under constant fear of deportation, when the 45th administrations' chief strategist predicts there will be an "ideological fight everyday" and when lies are touted as truth on a regular basis, how do we hold the thread of who we are and maintain our energy for what is true?"
