An Archetypal Path. A Personal Process.
Explore the 12-Week Journey
Every Human’s Journey™ follows a 12-week process rooted in the narrative arc of the Hero’s Journey—but it isn’t about roleplaying myth. It’s about making meaning in real life.
Transformation isn’t instant. It’s a rhythm. A cycle. A path.
The Journey at a Glance
Each stage mirrors an archetypal threshold, while anchoring itself in psychology, self-reflection, and the practice of showing up. This is not a quick fix. This is structured personal growth—layered, honest, and deeply human.
Whether you’re walking this path alone or with a group, these twelve weeks form the framework of transformation. Not abstractly. Not metaphorically. Practically—in behavior, in perspective, in relationships, and in how we make sense of who we are.
“Every Human’s Journey is a thoughtful, deep, and emotionally resonant experience that invites participants—especially those in group settings—into a transformative encounter with themselves.”
Dr. Angela Winter, Missoula, MT
Every story has three movements. Yours does too.
🌀 The Arc of Transformation
We move in three Acts:
Each week is a step into one of these thresholds. Each offers a chance—not to be perfect, but to be present.
Act I: Separation / Departure
“We cannot become ourselves until we leave what we were pretending to be.”
Week 1: Waking Up in the Ordinary World
Before the journey begins, there is a life we’ve settled into—routines, roles, inherited beliefs. This week helps you recognize the “ordinary world” you live in, including what feels missing, misaligned, or muted. You’ll begin observing your thoughts, stories, and emotional patterns with curiosity rather than judgment. This is where the lights start to come on.
Week 2: Heeding the Call to Adventure
Every meaningful journey begins with disruption. But that “call” might not sound heroic—it might sound like burnout, heartbreak, a craving for more. This week helps you listen to that inner nudge and identify the “personas” you’ve been wearing to survive. You’ll practice loosening their grip while tuning into what is quietly calling you forward.
Week 3: Confronting Refusal & Embracing Guidance
Refusal is part of the process. Fear, pride, shame, comfort—they all show up when we move toward real change. This week is about naming that resistance and exploring the inner (or outer) voices of guidance we may have ignored. You’ll reflect on your relationship to control, trust, and receiving help—especially from within.
Week 4: Crossing the Threshold & Unmasking the Persona
Crossing a threshold is never just about leaving something behind—it’s about shedding illusions. This week dives deeper into Jungian concepts of the Persona, Anima/Animus, and identity structures. You’ll challenge long-held roles and begin to risk showing up more fully—without the mask.
