The Hero’s Journey vs. the Heroine’s Journey: Two Ways of Becoming

A Free Masterclass on Stories of Liberation

There are two powerful story patterns that shape how we understand growth, success, and change.

One asks us to conquer fear.
The other asks us to build relationship.

In this free one-hour class, we’ll explore the Hero’s Journey and the Heroine’s Journey as two fundamentally different ways of becoming. Together, we’ll look at how these story paths influence our inner lives, our relationships, and the choices we make when we’re standing at a threshold.

Reflections from Past Students:

"Amy's courses open you up to your own miracles, previously unseen."

— Amy Cheney, Juvenile Justice Literacy Project

“Amy’s Heroine’s Journey Course is a safe and liberating space to gather — a place to open your heart and embrace both your light and your shadow with love and acceptance.”

—Jessica Downs

“I’ve attended many of Amy’s offerings — Salons, Jams, Workshops, and soon, a retreat — but my favorite by far has been The Heroine’s Journey, her six-week course. It’s more than a class; it’s a guided exploration that helps you uncover your own heroine’s path within the support of a group, so you don’t have to navigate the unknown alone. Through this course, I’ve discovered so much about myself, and I know there’s still more unfolding to do. I wouldn’t want to be on this journey with anyone else. Amy is a guiding light with a rare gift for turning a complex topic into everyday integration.”

—Linden Lehner
