‘The Hero’s Journey’  

experiential residential workshop

June 28th - July 4th 2025

Slí an Chroí, Kiltegan, Co. Wicklow

In a world where the very ground under our feet seems unsteady, we all have been called to find the courage and resilience to deal with new and highly unpredictable challenges. The central figure in 'The Hero's Journey' represents the potential within every human being to respond to just such calls, to just such challenges and ordeals as we face now.

The ‘Hero’s Journey’ workshop, based on the pattern of the universal ‘Hero monomyth’ described by Joseph Campbell, is an exciting group structure that involves a rich combination of Gestalt process and groupwork with elements of myth, theatre, ritual, music, image-making and movement. We discover the 
Hero within us and – having heard a Call to Adventure – we set off with her or him on a journey of exploration through our inner world. On the journey, our Heroic Self encounters opposition from her or his inner Demon of Resistance. There is a confrontation between these two aspects of ourselves, an ordeal, a resolution and an integration. Returning to the world of the everyday, we explore how this inner transformation can continue to work in our lives beyond the workshop.

What previous participants said about ‘The Hero’s Journey’: 
"A deep, embodied experience that is truly life-changing.”
“Honest, and well-guided journey into the unknown with skilled practitioners.”
“Very, very helpful.  I’m not sure that I could have found what I was seeking without this space.  Very full, and full of surprises.” 


This week-long workshop offers a creative opportunity for personal growth and expansion.  We invite you to meet yourself in a new way and to experience the joy of connection in the beautiful surrounds of the Slí an Chroí Centre, Kiltegan, Co. Wicklow.
