Abstract

'This project utilized an adaptation of Joseph Campbell's hero's journey as a tool for spiritual development. As persons participate in the process of finding the self, they are embarking on the mystical spiritual journey of awakening, dark night of the soul, and union with the divine. The elements of the project included experimental teaching on the story of Judith and hero's journey as well as time spent in contemplative reflection by each participant. The project took place during retreats of Anam Cara (Soul Friend), the two-year missional spiritual direction training program of the Missional Wisdom Foundation. Participant responses show that indeed the hero's journey framework can provide powerful structure to this self-reflection process and be efficacious in spiritual direction.' -- Leaf [2].
