    The Hero’s Journey

    The Separation
    Initiation and
    Transformation
    The Return
    Separation
    The Call
    •Invites us into the adventure
    •May be a sudden traumatic
    change
    •May be a vague sense of
    discontent.
    The Call

    Can take many forms


    •Something is taken from us
    •Something is lacking in life
    •Desire to restore honor
    •To win rights for our people
    The Threshold

    When called to adventure, we


    must cross the Threshold.

    The Threshold is the “jumping


    off point”

    The gateway to the unknown


    Threshold Guardians
    People, beings or
    situations that block
    They have two
    passage
    functions:

    •Protect us from
    journeys we are
    unready for
    •Pointing the way
    Helpers
    At the threshold, we will
    encounter helpers.
    Often they bring a talisman to
    help us through the ordeal.
    The most important of these
    helpers is the mentor.
    Helpers and guides appear
    throughout the journey
    The Initiation

    •The Challenges
    •The Abyss
    •The Transformation and
    Revelation
    •The Atonement
    The Challenges

    Once past the Threshold,


    we begin the journey into
    the unknown.
    •The journey can be
    outward into a physical
    unknown.
    •The journey can be inward
    to a psychological
    unknown.
    Tempters

    Tempters try to pull us


    away from our path.
    They may pretend to
    be a friend or helper.
    They use fear, doubt or
    distraction.
    The Abyss

    The Abyss represents the


    greatest challenge in the
    journey.
    In the Abyss the hero faces his
    greatest fear, and must face it
    alone.
    The Abyss cont.

    Here the hero must “slay the


    dragon,” which often takes the
    shape of something he dreads,
    or has repressed, or needs to
    resolve.
    Transformation
    As the hero conquers the Abyss, his
    transformation is complete.
    Like the Phoenix, a part of the hero must
    die so that a new part can be reborn.
    Fear must die to make way for courage,
    Ignorance for enlightenment, dependency
    for independence
    The Revelation

    Part of the Transformation is


    a Revelation, a sudden,
    dramatic change in the way
    the hero thinks or views life.
    This change makes him truly
    a different person.
    The Atonement

    After the Transformation the


    hero achieves Atonement,
    that is he is “at one” with his
    new self.

    The hero has incorporated the


    The “Om” the
    Hindu symbol of changes caused by the Journey
    “oneness” and is “reborn”
    The Return
    After Transformation and
    Atonement, the hero faces the
    final stage of his journey: The
    Return to everyday life.

    Upon the return, the hero discovers


    his gift –
    •Become richer and stronger
    •Become a great leader
    •Become spiritually enlightened.
