Journey With Us Online
Each winter, Hero’s Journey® Foundation offers Ensemble Hero — a three-week online journey open to anyone, anywhere. In large gatherings and small groups, participants move through the darkest weeks of the season together, balancing inner reflection with considered action in the company of others doing the same.
Learn to face the unknown in new ways — for yourself, but not by yourself.
Enrollment opens each fall.
Inspiration
AWAKE. AWARE. ENLIVENED. ENGAGED.
Myth opens doors where we didn’t know there were doors. The arts reflect to us the ineffable and the infinite, taking us where even language turns back.
Check out our writings, poetry and meditations, those mythic vehicles that can make us become, as Joseph Campbell once said, ‘transparent to the transcendent’.
