The Separation

Initiation and TransformationThe ReturnSlide2

Why study the Hero’s Journey?

It is the pattern of human experience.Every challenge we face in life is a journey.It is a process of self discovery.Understanding the journey pattern can help us understand the stories we read, the movies and shows we see, and the experiences that shape our lives. Slide3

The Journey is divided into three main phases

Separation (from the unknown)Initiation (and transformation)

The ReturnWe will now break these phases into the eight steps of the Hero’s JourneySlide4

Phase 1: Separation

Step 1 - The Call

Invites us into the adventureMay be a sudden traumatic changeMay be a vague sense of discontent.Slide5

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 peopleSlide6

Step 2 - The Threshold

When called to adventure, we must cross the Threshold.

The Threshold is the “jumping off point”

The gateway to the unknownSlide7

Threshold Guardians

People, beings or situations that block passage

They have two functions:

Protect us from journeys we are unready for

Pointing the waySlide8

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 journeySlide9

PHASE 2-

The Initiation & Transformation

Step 3- The ChallengesStep 4- The Abyss

Step 5- The Transformation and RevelationStep 6- The AtonementSlide10

STEP 3 - 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

.Slide11

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.Slide12

STEP 4- 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.Slide13

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.Slide14

STEP 5 - 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 Slide15

STEP 6 - 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.Slide16

STEP 7 - The Atonement

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

The hero has incorporated the changes caused by the Journey and is “reborn”

The “Om” the Hindu symbol of

oneness

”Slide17

STEP 8 - 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.Slide18
