Course Description

IN PERSON: How we tell the story of our life shapes how we live it. Emerging academic research demonstrates that crafting our personal narrative through the lens of the hero's journey helps us gain greater meaning, purpose, well-being and joy. This course invites us to look at our own life not simply as a series of events but as a meaningful story that continues. Along the way, we each have been challenged and transformed. We will trace the steps of the hero's journey, identifying the major turning points in our life, the face of our challenges, the obstacles in our path and, finally, the character of our heroic transformations when we overcame our challenges. This engaging course offers a path to insight, joy and flourishing. It is particularly apt for memoirists and those looking back to resolve their greatest challenges. Join us for a journey from life’s hard knocks to the joy of meaning and purpose. | Facilitated discussion.
