Stephen Gilligan – Hero’s Journey

**More information:

The Hero’s Journey is a myth that Joseph Campbell found in every culture, in which life is lived as a great “call to adventure,” a creative journey that brings something new in the world. We will explore the Hero’s Journey as a map for living a profoundly fulfilling life of healing, transformation, and creativity. You will learn techniques for (1) identifying a life calling, (2) transforming “demons”, (3) developing guardians and resources, (4) realizing personal transformation and healing, and (5) bringing transformational gifts back into the community.

This is not merely an intellectual journey, but a deeply experiential process requiring the ability to flow in and out of creative states of consciousness, in both safe but also challenging situations. We will explore generative trance as a major means for realizing a great life journey. You will learn many ways to develop generative trance, release the multiple levels of “neuromuscular lock” that underlie “stuck” states, and move into “creative flow” states that allow generative change in many areas, both personal and professional. Far from a stuporous state of passivity, generative trance is a deeply mindful attunement to the creative consciousness that allows extraordinary change. Special emphasis will be on how to develop, sustain, practice, and apply generative trance in multiple contexts and for many applications.

The map of the Hero’s Journey, and how it can be used to live a life of deep meaning and creativity

Many techniques for developing generative trance in self and others

How “brain maps” create reality, and how generative trance can change “brain maps”

So what is NLP?
NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Neuro refers to your neurology;
Linguistic refers to language; programming refers to how that neural language functions.
In other words, learning NLP is like learning the language of your own mind!

NLP is the study of excellent communication–both with yourself, and with others.
It was developed by modeling excellent communicators and therapists who got results with their clients.
NLP is a set of tools and techniques, but it is so much more than that.
It is an attitude and a methodology of knowing how to achieve your goals and get results

About Author

Stephen Gilligan

He was one of the original NLP students at UC Santa Cruz; Milton Erickson and Gregory Bateson were his mentors. After receiving his psychology doctorate from Stanford University, he became one of the premier teachers and practitioners of Ericksonian hypnotherapy. This work unfolded into his original approaches of Self-Relations and Generative Self, and then further (in collaboration with Robert Dilts) into Generative Coaching. These different traditions have all been updated and integrated into the present Generative Change Work, which includes the applications of Generative Coaching, Generative Psychotherapy, Generative Trance, Hero’s Journey, and Systemic Change work.

He has taught in many different cultures and countries over the past 30 years, and has published extensively. His numerous books include The Hero’s Journey: A Voyage of Self Discovery (co-authored with Robert Dilts), the classic Therapeutic Trances, The Courage to Love, The legacy of Erickson, Walking in Two Worlds (with D. Simon), and Generative Trance: The Experience of Creative Flow. His forthcoming book is Generative Coaching (co-authored with Robert Dilts).
