A conversation with Hollywood FilmMaker Angus Wall, Zen teacher Matthias Birk and Law Firm Leader Greg Starner
This webinar will explore how Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey can serve not just as a storytelling structure but as a practical guide for living a more authentic and purpose-driven life. Through dialogue with filmmaker Angus Wall Zen teacher Matthias Birk, and Law Firm Leader Greg Starner (facilitated by the Garrison Institute’s Managing Director Steve Varley).
Through dialogue we’ll examine how the stages of the Hero’s Journey help us:
- Recognize the call to adventure in our own lives.
- Navigate challenges and confront the ego.
- Find deeper alignment with who we truly are.
- Return with insights that can serve our communities and the wider world.
The Hero’s Journey is not only a narrative structure for movies, but also a living framework for personal growth. By embracing it, we can uncover purpose, overcome the traps of the ego, and live with greater clarity and meaning. Join us for this compelling and imaginative conversation.
