The Hero's Journey: "The dialogue that we are"

Campbell...and Beyond!

June Features

Pseudo calls can mask our journeys

Speed is the measure of crisis

Journey as tool for understanding

Excerpt from our teacher's guide

The hero's journey is famous as the mythical pattern described by Joseph Campbell, but it's much more than that. The journey is a metaphor for the process that underlies all growth, learning, and self discovery ― the embodiment of what philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer called “the dialogue that we are.”

Here you can explore the hero's journey in all its forms: from the monomyth of Joseph Campbell to the archetype of Carl Jung; as a tool for teaching and learning or a philosophy for finding your bliss. Please browse our site and check out our guide to teaching the journey.
