The Hero's Journey



Online Workshop

" Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors, where there were only walls. "



– Joseph Campbell





Our lifetime is a journey… During our journey, we encounter interesting experiences which we use to form belief systems with which we navigate our lives and make us who we are today.


The Hero’s Journey is based on Joseph Campbell’s realization that mythologies around the world seem to carry a predictable pattern of inspiring Journey. It is the journey that each one of us takes when we decide to follow a calling of our heart or to reach a life goal. It requires us to take risks and the willingness to go through various challenges, for the sake of reaching the goal or calling. In doing so, we are transformed through the process. If we are successful, we then are able to bring back and share the valuable lessons learned during the process.





What is in this workshop?



In this workshop we will first explore the archetypes of the Hero and the Saboteur and then the stages of the Hero’s Journey, through the creative and experiential and creative method used in Dramatherapy, with the aim of being inspired to begin or continue the process of being the Hero of our lives.
