The Hero’s Journey – Interactive Retreat Germany 2022
Transforming Demons into Allies. The Hero / the heroine who goes on an adventure, is victorious in a decisive crisis, and comes home changed and transformed.
For each of us it’s our inner voyage of discovery and surrender. We meet challenges, leave our comfort zone, and learn to let go of outdated opinions and emotions (our inner ‘demons’). Meanwhile we explore life's mysteries.
This 10 day Retreat offers a powerful mythical journey experience. Integrating Eastern & Western Traditions. Accepting the challenge of the Hero’s journey will leave you with a healthier, strengthened ego - one more fully integrated with the ‘shadow’ and thus accessing more energy and less susceptible to stress.
