The Hero’s Journey: Recycled

An art-based interactive romp embodying our internal ally

Intention: This is ‘serious fun'

This half-day interactive art-based workshop is loosely based on the Hero’s Journey, a familiar story found across cultures. Examining our professional journey, we re-imagine our travel, the challenges , resistance, and gifts while integrating new and recycled components, physical and metaphorical, as we create mentorship and alliance.

To reflect

· on how the needs and challenges of our practice, grow, evolve and adapt

· on how we show up and suit-up for our work, and the visual story that evolves

Together we: Co-Create

· Deconstruct and reconstruct metaphoric and symbolic representations that align with our vision of where we are in our life, or our vision of whatever role we inhabit; teacher,, mother, corporate leader, helpers and healers and so on.

· Challenge our resistance to breaking down less productive ways

· Communally share resources ( recycled children’s toys and stories)

· Resurrect, transform and DREAM the weary hero renewed

EXPECTED OUTCOMES:
