Every great story contains a complex set of circumstances and a not so complicated arch, a rise and fall (Decent), or fall and rise (Ascent). We know the rags to riches stories, we know the tragedies that come of hubris, the endless battles between heroes and villains.
What do Jesus, Cinderella and Buddha all have in common?.. The Ordeal Path (Also known as the Hero’s Journey or the Hero’s Way). Every hero needs a challenge worth risking it all for and a relentless and powerful foe. Through the trials and tribulations we shed our ego and sense of self and emerge wearing our true face, or enlightened identity is revealed.
This workshop is a space in which to explore our own self identity, our desires, our perceived and true challenges and to face them bravely head on, to go into the darkness fearfully but willingly.
