James Hillman and Michael Meade, Character and Destiny
Based on James Hillman's book The Soul's Code.

Each of us has felt the pull of destiny and the longing to answer our particular calling, a desire rarely nurtured by our families or society. How can we cut through the noise of contemporary culture to respond to the call of our soul?

Hillman and Meade propose that this "inner nobility" often announces itself in the struggles and pathologies that confront us, as well as in our deepest passions. What if we could learn to view our "dysfunctions" in a new way? Could they be messages from our soul--calling us to a more authentic life? Can we, individually and collectively, learn the language of the soul, and live in accordance with its intimations?

Michael Meade, The Second Adventure of Life
Far from being a time of resignation and withdrawal, the second half of life can be an opportunity to live a rich inner life while actively contributing to the community. In this live workshop tape, Meade uses poignant anecdotes from his work with at-risk youth and mythic stories of many cultures to bring the listener closer to the philosophical truths that guide a person from adolescence to the end of life. In this "second adventure" a person takes intentional risks to become an elder, rather than simply an "older," by extending innate gifts through specific practice and turning from the lament for lost youth toward a positive view of death and ancestors.

In this live presentation, Malidoma Somé and his wife Sobonfu take us into the Dagara village and give us their tribal view of intimacy, relationships and marriage. For a subject as overworked as sex, here are some fascinating and important lessons from the heart that are as fresh and relevant as they are ancient.

Robert Bly, James Hillman and Michael Meade, Men and the Life of Desire
This landmark performance captures the energy and fire of an extraordinary men's gathering. Along with the Firebird story and poetry from Yeats to Rumi, topics include the hunger for the father, male initiation, and the differences between need, want and desire. Live music accompaniment.

Robert Bly and Marion Woodman, Facing the Shadow in Men and Women
Oral Traditions' best-seller
There is a mystery around the word "shadow." We throw out part of ourselves in childhood, or put them in a bag; it is those abandoned parts that become the Shadow, which can then act destructively and independently of our will. If we can reclaim these parts much of our vitality and passion returns. Therefore Bly and Woodman challenge us to face the shadow in all areas of our lives. With live music, poems, and a moving Norwegian tale of love, The White Bear King Valamon.

James Hillman, Michael Meade and Malidoma Somé, Images of Initiation
Through stories, poems, song and lively dialog, psychologist James Hillman, mythologist and storyteller Michael Meade and initiated West African tribesman Malidoma Somé connect our lost rituals of initiation to the challenges that men are now facing. Together they explore where initiation begins, how it is denied and devalued, the role of mentor as distinguished from the father, and the importance of the grandfather and ancestors.

Michael Meade, Thresholds of Change: Finding Purpose and Inner Authority in Troubled Times
The dramas and symptoms that erupt in our lives are not simply bad luck due to circumstances. Our wounds are also initiatory scars pointing us toward our purpose and destiny.
Storyteller, mythologist and drummer Michael Meade challenges us to follow our "inner threads of purpose" and suggests surprising strategies for negotiating with our tyrannical inner giants, the value of stealth, trickery and deal-making, knowing when to strive and when to surrencer, and the importance of discipline, art, and the feminine voice.

Michael Meade, Throw Yourself Like a Seed
The price we pay for worshipping independence may be an undernourished self, loss of community and increasingly chaotic youth. How do we go on as a culture without the rituals that give meaning to live? What legacy are we leaving coming generations?

Even when we recognize the need for change, how do we begin? Throw yourself like a seed, Meade suggests, into the work of living. Plant something and tend it long enough for meaning to appear.

The ancient story Half Boy illustrates the struggle of youth for respect and recognition, and the journey each of us must take to discover our genius within the community. Other stories include The Tree of Life and Death and The Abandoned Children.

This tape gives an excellent short, succinct overview of these archetypes. Even if you have read the books, it is worthwhile to listen to this overview. But their real value is in his discussion of how the archetypes and archetypal energies work in our lives. While this is in his books, his practical, down-to-earth presentation style and his answering of questions from the audience make it easy to see how these energies work in your own life.
