Robert Walters, former head of the Joseph Campbell Foundation, is organizing “Mapping Your Hero’s Adventure: A Mythogenesis Playshop” for the celebration of Campell's birth in 2024. The Hero's Journey has been tremendously influential for games, film and more, and he was a SIEGE keynote speaker once. If you can take a week to go to Esalen for this opportunity, I strongly recommend it.
