About the Crow’s Nest Podcast with Ian Mackenzie
In times of chaos and breakdown, where might we turn for guidance? To the myths, the storytellers, the wisdom-keepers and the rabble-rousers. To the ones braving the seas of uncertainty - not with answers, but with poetry, beauty, and well crafted questions. I'm Ian MacKenzie, co-founder of The School of Mythopoetics, a place to gather with like-hearted folks to navigate the mysteries together. And this is The Crow's Nest, where I speak with an array of guests who are employing their mythic imagination to engage with the tempest of the times.
