The Hero´s Journey

Our  life is a journey… 

During our journey, we encounter experiences which  we use to form belief systems, through which we navigate our lives,  making us who we are today.

The  Hero’s Journey is based on Joseph Campbell’s realisation that  mythologies around the world seem to carry a predictable pattern.

It  is the journey that each one of us take when we decide to follow the  calling of our heart and our soul. It requires us to take risks and the  willingness to go through various challenges. In doing so, we are  transformed.

In  this workshop we will explore the process of the Hero’s Journey through  the creative and experiential method used in Dramatherapy.
