Friday 9 May 2025 · Afternoon · 2 hours

Workshop Overview

The “A Hero’s Journey: From Ego to Eco” workshop lasted two hours and invited participants to explore how stories shape our relationship with ourselves, each other, and the planet. Through expressive arts, storytelling, improvisation, and creative exercises, participants experienced the Hero’s Journey from a climate justice perspective.

Activities included mapping personal narratives, creating characters, and collaborating in partner and group exercises such as movement, music, and improvised storytelling. Participants also engaged in grounding meditation, shared reflections, and created gifts for the community, exploring how individual choices ripple outward to affect larger systems.

Led by Anastasia, a holistic wellbeing educator and multi-formed therapist, the workshop emphasized creativity, empathy, and the shift from ego-centered thinking to eco-conscious living. It encouraged participants to reconnect with their creative power, imagine new stories, and embody regenerative, community-centered practices.
