.
Carefully read the lecture about the hero’s journey and the summary of the Odyssey. Think about Odysseus’ journey, the causes of his trip, the obstacles he had to overcome and his motivation for returning. Then write on the following:
Share with us a particular story about yourself where you have taken a hero’s journey, discovered something about yourself and your life and overcame obstacles to effect a positive change. These journeys are more often small encounters with aspects of yourself that get in the way of the person you are or would like to be, such as loss of temper, lack of discipline, lack of compassion, sloth, etc. Or it could be taking the time and developing the confidence to succeed at something. Note the story of The Wizard of Oz in this regard.
How are you like Odysseus? Or Dorothy? Or the Cowardly Lion?
Describe how you would paint or sculpt yourself as regards your hero’s journey.
