I'm Looking for a Spiritual Directorwith Rolling Ridge staff
You are the hero of your own life.
In this 8-week ONLINE class, we'll dive deep into the Hero-Heroine’s Journey first highlighted by renowned mythologist Joseph Campbell in his 1949, The Hero with a Thousand Faces.This journey plays out at key points in our lives whether we recognize it or not. Becoming more conscious of the territory can help shape our inevitable transformation and bring deeper meaning to each footstep we take.
In Part 1, “Leaving the Known,” we find ourselves propelled by personal desire and-or from forces beyond our control, to move in a new direction. Right away, obstacles and fears may arise challenging our quest to sing what’s been called the Song of our Soul or, as RR’s core programming describes, notice what’s emerging from our inner acorn. In Part 2, “Meeting Dragons,” we face the necessary trials and tests to discover how it is we blossom not in spite of but, rather, because of, and how we access our true superpower in relation to complete surrender to the One, all the while, holding fast in the fires of transformation. Finally, in Part 3, “Returning Home,” we discover how to breathe a new way of being, forge new pathways in old territories, anchor in spiritual community, and allow what no longer serves to fall away engaging new joys in service to a greater good.
On this journey, we’ll enjoy short excerpts from The Hero with a Thousand Faces, with questions for reflection designed to deepen thoughtful inquiry and fuel our discussions. There’ll also be a combination of experiential activities, such as a variety of taize meditation practices and journaling exercises, woven effortlessly into our sacred circle.
Heros and heroines, your journey is yours alone to take. But the good news is you don't have to go alone. Join us on Wednesday nights (October 2 to November 20) from 6:30-8:00 pm eastern.
Cost for the series: $75 for 8 online 90 minute sessions (total of 12 hours). Unfortunately there is no part-time pro-rated registration.
