The Hero's Journey Applies to Everyone

The hero's journey template, popularized by Joseph Campbell, is not just for tales and myths but is a psychological template that applies to individuals at all life stages. Ben Cott, in his book 'The Way Home,' discusses the hero's journey to wholeness at midlife. To achieve wholeness, individuals need to leave behind familiar patterns that keep them stuck and embrace new habits and spiritual practices for self-discovery. Nature, along with support from others, plays a crucial role in guiding individuals through the unknown towards inner healing and fulfillment.
