ROSE HIGH BEAR (DEG HIT’AN DINE), the Executive Director of Wisdom of the Elders, will discuss how the Hero’s Journey is an important tool for healing from historical trauma and for spiritual growth, using oral narratives of Native American elders and storytellers.
“In each of us there is another whom we do not know. He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us from the way we see ourselves. When, therefore, we find ourselves in a difficult situation to which there is no solution, he can sometimes kindle a light that radically alters our attitude – the very attitude that led us into the difficult situation.”
