Description
In six 90-minute classes, you’ll look at your life story through new lenses
Life can be great and filled with joy!
And… Life can be tough.
Our day to day experience can be intense, shocking and surreal, with heartbreaks and hurts and worries…
AND… LIFE IS ALSO A HERO’S JOURNEY
A Hero’s Journey is not some bland highway with clear onramps and off ramps. No Hero/Heroine ever got on an air-conditioned shuttle to take them where they needed to go.
Heroes and Heroines slog through The Swamp of Despair. They find themselves walking along The Knife-Edge of Doom. Their little boat gets wrecked on The Island of the Lost until they’re able to build a raft out of coconut shells and sail the stormy seas back home.
That’s how we become heroic.
We struggle. We suffer.
We learn. We grow.
And how often do we even appreciate how far we’ve traveled?
How Do We Lose Our Sense of Ourselves?
When we’re busy holding ourselves to impossible standards, judging ourselves for our struggles or wishing our life wasn’t so challenging — do we ever think that life’s obstacles are the crucial ingredients we need to become who we are?
If we take the right approach, these obstacles take us from being an average person just passing through life, to having real wisdom.
This Isn’t About Perfection or Publication
Some want to become the next famous literary figure. Good for them.
That’s not what this course is about.
We don’t care if you’re a “good writer” or a “bad writer.”
And you won’t be getting tips on how to become “a great writer.” (You can learn those elsewhere.)
Instead, this course will offer you straightforward exercises and inspirations to discover meaning in your life story. It will help you to search inside yourself, to release the stuck ideas and patterns that have been keeping you from being your whole deep and powerful human self.
“I Want to Keep My Writing Private!”/”I Want to Share With Others!”
Both options will be available.
For those wanting to explore on their own, the writing sessions will allow you the space, time and tools to go beyond the surface of your experience. This can happen at your own pace, and you’ll have plenty of time to continue if you wish when the session is over.
For those wanting to share and discuss their writing with others, online forums will allow you to post things you’ve written and dialogue with others about the process of exploration — without anyone trying to edit your grammar.
