Hero's Journey

More than ever, the world needs passionate, creative people and communities. This workshop explores how to live in such a way, based on the ground-breaking Hero’s Journey work developed by Joseph Campbell. In this journey, a person senses and acts on a life calling, using this deep connection to create an extraordinary path through the world. Such a life requires full commitment and surrender to life, as well as intensive self-development. The training invites each participant to make such a commitment and explores the generative methods by which life dreams can become real. The structure of the course follows 8 steps of the Hero’s Journey:

• Hear the call: Live your dream
• Commit to the call: Take full responsibility for your life
• Prepare for the Journey: Self-training
• Cross the Threshold: Open beyond the Ego
• Walk the path: Take creative action
• Find guardians/guides: Develop resources
• Tame the dragon: Transform negativity
• Bring it back home: Pass it on to others

  The general steps of the journey will be explored in a series of intensive exercises, demonstrations, and group processes designed to awaken your consciousness to experience more love, exceptional creativity, and positive living. You will be both challenged and supported in this intensive process, and also receive guidance in how to coach others on such journeys.
