Detachment and the Hero’s Journey end with triumph, but what happens after the hero has arrived home? or the detached enlightened being comes down from the mountain?
Today Virginia and I are breaking down common assumptions. We consider the role detachment plays in healing and personal growth
Is the Hero’s Journey better than staying? And the people who stay behind to keep the bills paid and the lawn mowed while the hero is out journeying - why aren’t we talking about them?
We’re a bit more philosophical today, and a bit more personal asking ourselves who we are becoming and how these ideas got us to where we are, and what they mean for where we want to go in our lives and our work.
I know, after doing this podcast with Virginia, that life isn’t something we can control, the best we can do is navigate what gets thrown at us.
