“Being a Hero or Acting Heroically: The Difference Matters”
with Rebecca Armstrong
In this talk, Rebecca Armstrong explores how The Hero archetype can either inspire or possess us. The talk examines the ways in which “the hero journey” has been hijacked by hyper-individualism to become an inflationary, status-seeking, soul-sucking danger; an archetype that possesses a person through over-identification, while simultaneously arousing its shadow side in the form of The Victim with its tempting complaints of microaggressions and race-to-the-bottom of most abused and thus most deserving of favor. To counteract this, the talk suggests practical ways to engage heroic energy: setting intention with a heroic attitude; practicing daily courage; tracking the shadow; dialoguing with inner images.
• Rebecca Armstrong is a mythologist, humanist minister, and educator who worked with The Joseph Campbell Foundation for twelve years as its International OutReach Director, helping to create and nurture the worldwide Mythological RoundTableTM groups that carried Campbell’s work into the community. She is a graduate of Meadville-Lombard Unitarian-Universalist Seminary, The University of Chicago Divinity School, and The Humanist Institute. She’s taught myth, religion, ethics, and film studies at major universities for the past 30 years and has a private practice as a Jungian Coach and Spiritual Guidance counselor.
