• Extra informatie: In The Journey of the Hero, Friedemann Wieland shows how we can use the ancient wisdom of myths and legends to enter into a creative process of self-discovery. Through the imagery of the Grail Legend - and with a wealth of unique exercises and guided fantasies - he invites us to explore our own life story as a heroic journey. We encounter our own creativity, our visions, and our inner calling, also the shadow aspects of the soul, the 'uninvited gods' that wish to penetrate our consciousness. These gods are an ancient theme of mythology. They are the parts of us that do not live: the feelings that we suppress, the love that we miss, the dreams that we have buried and the dances that we have forgotten. They yearn to be lived and honoured. A central image of the Grail Story is the wounded king whose land has turned to desert. He suffers along with the land. It is a 'sacred wound'. Wieland explains how our problems are likewise related to the degradation of our environment, and demonstrates how the recovery of our visions and our creative potential can contribute to the healing of our planet.
