Deep dives

The Necessity of Collective Transformation

A current period of significant transformation is underway, driven by simultaneous radical changes in both nature and culture. This duality results in a complex dynamic that emphasizes the necessity for individuals and communities to adapt and renew. The notion that creation is an ongoing process highlights that all beings are in a continuous state of transformation rather than simply living in the aftermath of creation. This perspective encourages a more conscious approach to understanding the cycles of life, death, and renewal as inherent aspects of existence, ultimately guiding people towards a more integrated way of living.

Thomas Hübl is joined by renowned storyteller, author, and scholar of mythology, Michael Meade. They discuss transformation as an essential element of life, and how embracing radical transformation—both personally and as a collective—allows us to get in touch with our deeper selves.

Michael draws on his knowledge of ancient rites of passage, mythology, and initiation rituals to help define the liminal space humanity finds itself in right now. As we stand on a cultural and environmental threshold, we have a choice: either let go of our egos and open our wounds to be cleansed and healed, or resist change and remain disconnected from life, death, and nature itself.

He and Thomas also explore what it means to be an elder across different cultures, how seemingly apocalyptic turmoil is really a lifting of the veil, and the divine value of stepping into the unknown.
