what is your "Hero's Journey?"
Hi-
When Joshua and I first discussed working together on PEERtrainer we realized we were both fans of Joseph Campbell. Campbell was a professor at Sarah Lawrence for many years, and actually friends of my grandparents in NYC. (My grandmother was an Indian classical dancer, which are representations of stories from Hindu Mythology) Campbell's life's work was studying the myths throughout human history and across multiple cultures. And he found incredible commonalities, that these stories shared a "common fundamental structure."
Campbell has been widely influential- most well known was his influence on George Lucas and the Star War series. There is a series of interviews that Bill Moyer did many years ago where he interviewed Campbell in the last years of his life at the Lucas Ranch. My parents took me to see that when I was 12 i think at Bowdoin College which was near to where I grew up.
Joshua has studied an extraordinary variety of things, and he has a keen understanding of the power of myth (that are part of all religions) for lack of a better phrase. And an important part of the Point Of No Return Program we have put together embeds this idea of the Hero's Journey. It is a tool and concept we use and teach that helps you develop a strong call to action to really break through your barriers in life, to challenge you to identify, develop and embark your own journey.
So please read this article if you have not yet and we thought it would be a fun activity to describe whatever journey you have taken or plan to take in your life:
