The Hero's Journey for Men - July 25-31, 2010
We invite you on a heroic journey;
into the wild with us;
into the wilderness of your own heart;
into your most vital and true self;
the living treasure of who you really are;
the treasure of your gift to the world.
A Hero's Journey is an ageless and timeless immersion into the transformative currents of personal and planetary evolution. It calls us to leave behind the familiar horizons of home and venture forth into the unknown. It calls us to the adventure of our one, true life.
Our work is inspired by the teachings of Joseph Campbell’s mythic scholarship along with leading-edge explorations of human consciousness and evolutionary development. We follow a transformational paradigm that has guided the evolution of consciousness within every culture and tradition since the beginning of time.
The process begins with our heeding an inner call to a greater life; taking leave of home and letting go of what is familiar and known; crossing a threshold and courageously entering new terrain that hosts both our angels and our demons; encountering allies and inner resources precisely as we need the support; discovering life-renewing vision along with a source of love and power capable of bringing that vision into fruition; and finally, returning home to celebrate the boon for our self and our people. This is a remarkable, inevitable and unforgettable passage.
You will be joined by other men of various ages and walks of life, from the US and abroad, who are seeking a life-altering adventure to support them through a significant transition in their relationship to their own personal lives and to life of the world.
What to Expect...
From a spiritual perspective, we encourage you to take up the posture of… expect nothing, be ready for anything. That said, this is what you are likely to encounter as part of your wilderness transformation experience...
We gather on an open mountaintop located in the heart of the Monongahela National Forest, next to Spruce Knob, the highest peak in West Virginia. We sleep under the darkest skies in the Eastern US, giving us a profoundly inspiring night sky to reflect upon each evening. The combination of breathtaking views, and deep wilderness forest, is an awe-inspiring mirror for our journey into the territory of our own hearts.
An exceptional team of guides and a large community of returning support staff will help you clarify and energize your heroic journey in a way that serves your unique passage through this phase of your life and is likewise directed to enliven the whole of life.
You have the option of camping or making arrangements to stay in a dormitory style sleeping structure. Due to the rustic and isolated nature setting, cell phone service is not available, and external distractions are kept to a bare minimum.
Our meals are carefully prepared by our own chef and cooking teams, and we accommodate all dietary needs and restrictions. It is our intention that you be nourished and sustained physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. We live our Hero’s Journey, first, for our own healing—and foremost, that we may offer our most vital and visionary self for the healing of the world.
