The Hero's Journey VS The Heroine's Journey: What's the Difference?

A Free Masterclass on Stories of Liberation

The Heroine’s Journey vs. The Hero’s Journey: What's the Difference?

Join us for an experiential class where you will explore two different paths through transformation.

In this masterclass, you will discover how to:

Understand the Masculine vs. Feminine Path

• Learn the key differences between the Hero’s linear, conquering quest and the Heroine’s circular, healing journey.
• Recognize whether you are walking the masculine path of independence or the feminine path of interdependence.

Explore the Power of Collaboration vs. Competition

• Understand why the Hero goes alone while the Heroine must build alliances, find support, and weave connection.

Balance Inner Growth with Outer Challenges

• See how the Heroine’s Journey emphasizes integration—healing the inner world while navigating the outer one.

Choose Your Next Step with Clarity

• Leave with deeper insight into which path is right for you at this stage of your life.
• Now, more than ever, we need people who can embody not only the triumphs of the Hero, but the healing wisdom of the Heroine. Your journey matters. This is your chance to understand both paths of individuation—and choose the best one for you.

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
