Hero's Journey Foundation

The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure. - Joseph Campbell Happy Birthday to Joseph Campbell, American mythologist, writer, and professor. His work in crafting the Hero's Journey Story as a timeless, universal myth allows all of us the exploration of our own personal Hero's Journey- a framework of understanding, and a chance to say YES to our own hearty adventure! Joseph Campbell was born on this day in 1904.

By embracing our ‘yes’ position to life, we are taking a solid stand and a committed stance that will, in fact, open the journey for us... -Michael Mervosh How are you making way for your inner journey path today? What can you say YES to?

Being fully present to fear, to gratitude, to all that isthis is the practice of mutual belonging. As living members of the living body of Earth, we are grounded in that kind of belonging. Even when faced with cataclysmic changes, nothing can ever separate us from Earth. We are already home.Joanna Macy Even when faced with cataclysmic changes, can you feel your belonging-ness today? Practice by bringing your awareness to the present moment, and resting here for a moment.

Our fear may not go away, but it won’t stand in the way - Richard Rohr How are you deciding to acknowledge fear, but not let it block your path forward today?
