Facilitation Training

An online course to train new facilitators of the Hero's Game (Also known as S/Hero's Game or Heroine's Game, depending on the context of application).

Created to promote insights, generate new perceptions, and stimulate deep reflection and conversation about life's challenges, the S/Hero's Game is a board game developed with the thematic symbolism of Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey and the power of archetypes.

Who is it for?

Consultants, therapists, coaches, educators, human resources managers, mediation/learning facilitators, and people interested in self-knowledge.

"The S/Hero’s Game is a revelation.

Discovering this remarkable evolution of Campbell’s work is an exciting testament to cross-cultural, timeless relevancy and application.

Co-creator, game designer, and graphic artist Ricardo Ferrer has become a trusted colleague; our collaboration is now in its sixth year and full of playfulness and synchronicities. This fun and effective healing modality brings clarity and joy to our shadows, both collective and personal. "

Manager at Nic.br and Hero´s Game Facilitator

"I was already familiar with Joseph Campbell's thinking and found it appealing. But it was through The Hero's Game and Ricardo Ferrer, that I learned to persevere and pursue my bliss, as Campbell proposes. It was in following the steps of The Hero's Game that I experienced the Way, or rather, I was able to identify the poetic and ever-present presence of the Way in my life and choices. Gratitude."

The board game for everyday heroes and heroines

During the course, each participant will receive their own exclusive game kit: a board, 4 player cards, 4 coloured dice, 4 pawns, 200 stones and over 200 content cards.
