2025 Keynote | "Our own Hero's Journey" with Robin Dennany

Robin will share the concept of “The Hero’s Journey,” a powerful idea explored by author and teacher Joseph Campbell. The concept posits that all stories are iterations of a single, timeless myth. During this session, she will guide us through how understanding our own personal journey can help us connect with ourselves and others and build stronger communities. Robin will facilitate our exploration individually and with our collective Spark Community.
