Hero's Journey Retreats.
“The Most heroic of all acts is the courage to discover who you are and what you would like to be. To slay the savage dragon of the ego and to follow your bliss to the truth of our life.”
- Joseph Campbell
A Heroe's Journey Retreat is a specific form of leadership team retreat: It has the specific goal of helping a leadership team find their unique purpose, identify core fears, and create a plan to bring their purpose into action. It can be done with the executive team and rolled out to the wider leadership group.
It is based on the Hero's Journey, an ancient story framework that can be found across cultures and time, as the way humans tell the story of heroes (think Disney movies, fairy tales, folklore, etc.). In this usually 2-day retreat, leaders jointly go through the steps of the Hero's Journey. They identify patterns of their individual as well as their organization's story, reflect deeply on their values and purpose, identify core fears that are holding them back and develop concrete steps to activate their purpose.
