The Hero's Journey at the End of Life by Karen Wyatt

Karen Wyatt

Learn what the Hero's Journey can teach us about facing challenges in later life.


In this solo episode I share some thoughts about the archetypal Hero’s Journey, conceived by Joseph Campbell as a template for the transformative experiences of our own lives and those who are facing the end of life. Each of us has the opportunity to be a mentor for someone who is going through the ordeal of their own hero’s journey and this model can help us understand how to offer support and what is needed from us.
