About this event

The Hero Archetype: An Exploration of the Hero’s Journey Workshop with Eleanor O’Rourke

The Hero archetype and its partner the Rescuer archetype are archetypes of the heart.

As children, we are all ignited in some way to serve a noble cause, to seek a higher purpose. This can find expression in acts of physical courage or emotional courage (the rescue or care of those less fortunate or powerless.)

We can see its manifestation both on the battlefield and in the hospital.

In its shadow form, this archetype can make us seek validation, approval or personal glory. This can result in sacrifice, or burnout.

Join me as we explore this archetype and learn tools to ensure its expression fulfils and nourishes us, rather than becoming a duty we have to perform for our self-worth.

Learning Objective Participants Can Expect From This Event

  • A more nuanced understanding of the Hero and the Rescuer archetypes and how these play out.
  • An understanding of archetypal dynamics and unconscious patterns.
  • Developing tools to overcome the shadow aspects of the Hero – the ones that don’t serve us.

Who is This Workshop Appropriate For?

  • Therapists and anyone interested in exploring their own archetypal dynamics

How May This Workshop Impact Your Practice?

  • An increased ability to hold space for others and provide insights for them in doing their shadow work.
