A Collective Conversation With Michael Mervosh 

Being In The Belly Of The Whale – Part Two

 – how the allegory of Jonah informs us about navigating the swelling and consuming darkness of our times.

Join Our Essential Conversation

In this time of ever-escalating violence, division, terror and uncertainty, we have a burning need to  engage in substantive conversations. We need hope. The Hero’s Journey® myth can offer us its life-giving reflections to counteract the intense witnessing of violence, the bone-level fear about what is now transpiring, and the palpable sense of looming danger of what is yet to come.  And yet, we cannot afford to become a “caravan of despair”.

Join Michael Mervosh and guests as we explore the profound significance of the Hero’s Journey® stage – The Belly of the Whale” – that is being experienced by so many on both a psychic and physical level, as we confront foreboding threats and the unbearable annihilation of lives, and ultimately must face the realities of forces larger than ourselves that to take us places we’d rather not go.

“No creature can attain a higher grade

of nature without ceasing to exist.”

– Ananda Coomaraswamy

The passage into a temple and the hero-dive through the jaws of the whale are identical adventures…once inside one may be said to have died to time and returned to the world womb.”

The passage of through this deep and dark threshold is a form of self-annihilation.  
One goes deeply inward, to be disappeared to the self, in order to be born anew.
