[PREVIEW] MPP82 Michael Meade: Remembering Robert Bly

This is the second in a series of podcasts that pay tribute to poet, activist and author Robert Bly, who died a few weeks ago.That was his voice you heard at the beginning of the podcast, reading the 15th century Indian poet Kabir and accompanied by live musicians. I think that little excerpt gives you a feeling for Robert’s spontaneity and humour, qualities that he helped awaken and nurture in today’s guest.In this episode I speak with storyteller and mentor Michael Meade, who spent many years working side-by-side with Robert as part of the mythopoetic men’s movement. Michael was a central figure in that scene, bringing his deep knowledge of myth, story and initiation to the gatherings.In our conversation Michael shares what it was like to work so closely with Robert, the ways in which they learned from each other and how they ended up parting ways. I’m so grateful to Michael for sharing these personal stories and reflections, because they offer some great insights for anyone involved in any kind of mentorship, leadership or men’s work.Website: http://mosaicvoices.org
