Projects
The Hero's Journey
A Hero's Journey is VOLUNTARY. You must personally seek change and a better life. No one can take the journey for you.
A Hero's Journey or "Ecotherapy" is one of the main processes used by MensTrust to address the psychosocial needs of former combatants. A Hero's Journey is a transformative process that takes place in the wilderness over a period of about 4 days using nature, ritual and culture to heal and restore balances in ones life. It is also an important tool for stress management.
