Brant Elwood: Mythic Archetypes, Group Unconscious, and the Psychology of Organizations
In this deep, mythic conversation, we welcome Brant Elwood, author of Gods, Heroes and Groups: Relational Dynamics through Mythic Archetypes and an MA in social-organizational psychology. Brant blends mythopoetic lineage with practical organizational insight to reveal the unconscious dynamics that govern how groups behave — in communities, workplaces, and treatment settings.
We explore:
How mythic archetypes (gods, heroes, tricksters) show up in group roles and organizational life
Rites of passage work with young men during the pandemic and what that revealed about leadership, belonging, and responsibility
The group unconscious — patterns we enact without awareness and how they shape decision-making, conflict, and culture
Practical ways leaders and community members can be mindful of their roles so they don’t unconsciously repeat damaging patterns
Why integrating mythic thinking helps organizations surface the undiscussed and rediscover healthier relational dynamics
This episode is for leaders, therapists, organizational consultants, and anyone curious about the hidden stories that run our groups. Brant’s approach offers a poetic but practical map for recognizing the forces that shape group life — and for acting with conscious intention instead of falling into unconscious roles.
