Going Forth…
The Hero’s Journey is about embracing life. It is about going forth into the world, and learning how to live. It is about wrestling with our weaknesses, facing our demons, and unleashing our inner strengths.
It is also about coming home after a long adventure, learning how to rest and restore, being still.
Drawing upon approaches such as Gestalt Therapy, which looks at the power of cycles and processes; Shadow Work, which beings forth the hidden or buried aspects of self; and Constellations Work which creates a powerful space in which parts of our self can interact with each other and reunite, we will go on a transformative adventure into the psyche.
Using the power of somatic and active imagination techniques, we will engage buried aspects of yourself that, once uncovered, can unlock your true potential, so that you might become all that you were meant to be, all that you already are!
It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.
- Joseph Campbell
Taking the Leap!
This therapeutic approach can be done face to face or via online sessions. Number of sessions vary from person to person. Session times are flexible and can be agreed together (50 minutes, 90 minutes etc.), and will usually involve engaging different aspects of yourself through bodily sensations, movement, visualisation techniques, objects, and active communication.
If you’re curious but unsure, please feel free to try this approach on a one or three sessions trial basis.
For more information, please feel free to contact me to find out more.
Purpose is the reason you journey.
Passion is the fire that lights your way.
