The Heroine's Journey | Maureen Murdock

Why it is included:

The Archetype for Integration.

The traditional "Hero's Journey" (Campbell) is about outward conquest—killing the dragon and bringing back the treasure.

The "Heroine's Journey" is about the inward descent to reclaim the parts of ourselves we discarded to "make it" in the world.

We include this because we are often stuck in the "exhaustion of success."

This map provides the route home: validating the need to stop conquering and start integrating, moving from "Success" to "Wholeness."
