Ben Crowe & Asher Packman - The Hero’s Journey (Part 1)

Ben Crowe is one of the worlds most acclaimed and respected mindset coaches. Ben’s organisation Mojo Crowe empowers everyone from athletes ( including Ash Barty, Daniel Riccardo and even Andre Agassi), to performers, CEO’s and World leaders to all those using the Mojo app, to look inward and ask themselves 3 simple and equally challenging questions. Who am I? What do I want? How do I get there?

Asher Packman is the former president of Meditation Australia and the founder of The Fifth Direction, which uses breath, meditation, poetry and storytelling to invite people to also look inward and reclaim their mythic imagination and celebrate a return to soul.

Their teachings and wisdoms have shaped me in ways that are almost impossible to put into words. The gratitude I feel for them intersecting with my path is immeasurable. In different ways they’ve shared the exact same profound road map for making sense of our human experience and I don’t feel I could be sitting around a safer, wiser or more open table today to discuss it. It’s time to take a deep dive into Joseph Campbell’s ‘Hero’s Journey.’
