The Ends of Time, Roots of Eternity: Tales of Myth, Nature, & Culture

The modern world suffers from "double exposure" as culture and nature, the "two great garments of life," seem to unravel at the same time. Meanwhile, science and religion seem to arrive at similar conclusions as statistics and scriptures each predict the "end of the world." Is it the end of all time or a time of many endings seeking the vital ground of renewal?

Listen to Michael Meade tell the story of Icanchu's Drum, a re-creation story in which the world suffers dissolution and renews from the ashes of the Tree of Life, also called The Medicine Tree. Following an old idea, we find that each person carries medicine in their heart and can contribute to the renewal of nature and re-imagination of culture.

Themes Includes: Culture, Nature, Inner Nature • Global Warming and Religious Fervor • Holding the Tension of the Opposites • The Pathless Path • The Medicine Tree • East and West Must Meet
