The innate truths of the struggles and triumphs of
the human condition can be found within the many
myths of both the ancient world of legend and the contemporary world
of literature. The commonalities between these myths and the journey
of the archetypal mythical hero were analyzed and synthesized by Joseph
Campbell in his ground breaking book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces.
Campbell’s great insight was that the ancient myths, which have survived
for thousands of years, all share a fundamental structure and message of
transformation, which he referred to as the ‘monomyth’.
This message of transformation may also be found in some of the
significant literature of the modern world.
The Enneagram’s Law of Seven also describes a cycle of transformation
along a journey of love and spiritual development.
This workshop will examine the truths articulated by the Law of Seven,
and the reflection of these truths in ancient and contemporary literature.
It will include a practical analysis of these concepts within the world’s
ancient and modern mythologies (such as Eros & Psyche, Faust and Star
Wars), and encourage the application of this message of transformation to
the personal spiritual journey of each of the participants.
