We're talking about The Hero's Journey this episode, and how it relates to the work we do as Forest Educators.    The Monomyth has a multitude of stages that are easily recognizable when we know what to look for, whether we are working with elementary age students, middle schoolers, high schoolers or adults.     The Hero or Heroine undergo many ordeals, trials and tasks in their journey into the unknown.   They encounter beings who might be allies, or become enemies, and discernment comes into play, adding complexity on top of everything else they are learning. My programs took on depth and transformational elements that had an amazing impact on campers and students, and I believe that learning these elements can help anyone working with youth or adults to expand awareness, understanding and enhance program design.
