Michael Meade

Michael Meade, D.H.L., is a renowned storyteller, author, and scholar of mythology, anthropology, and psychology and is one of the greatest depth psychological teachers of our time. 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 The Genius Myth, Fate and Destiny: The Two Agreements of The Soul, Why the World Doesn’t End and The Water of Life: Initiation and the Tempering of the Soul.

Meade is the founder of Mosaic Multicultural Foundation, a nonprofit network of artists, activists, and community builders that encourages greater understanding between diverse peoples.

At Jung Platform, Michael Meade teaches from the conviction that living a mythic life means being genuinely connected to your own story. Not the story others have told about you, or the story the culture provides as a default, but the deeper story that was yours before you were old enough to refuse it.

His courses explore questions that mythology has always circled: what is the reason you are alive? How do you make meaning from your wounds? How do you give your particular gift to the world?

In the online course Finding your myth he draws on tribal stories, spiritual traditions, and mythologies from across human history, Meade guides participants toward a felt sense of their own personal myth, the pattern that has been present from the beginning and that reveals itself more fully the more consciously we engage with it.

Michael Meade, D.H.L., is one of the great depth psychological teachers of our time. He brings together hypnotic storytelling, cross-cultural mythology, and street-level wisdom in a way that few teachers can match. Where others explain myths, Meade inhabits them, drawing on ancestral sources of knowledge to illuminate the stories we are living right now, in our own lives and in the life of the world.

His work draws equally from mythology, anthropology, and psychology, shaped by decades of study across cultures, including African, Native American, Celtic, and Greek traditions. The result is a body of teaching that feels simultaneously ancient and urgently contemporary.
