Back cover:
“It is the story of the Hero, male or female, an individual who receives a superior call and embarks on a journey of dangerous adventures. After a series of difficult ordeals that often culminate in an experience of death and rebirth, the Hero returns to the culture empowerd, healed, or transformed, and uses the new gifts for the benefits of others (from the foreword by Stanislav Grof).
Influenced by his study of Gestalt therapy, the performing arts, and his association with renowned mythologist Joseph Campbell, Paul Rebillot has created a dynamic new rite of passage for anyone experiencing personal challenge or a life transition. In The Call to Adventure, Rebillot explains why personal crisis can actually be a form of spiritual calling. Sharing intimate details about his own stromy serach for meaning, which took him dangerously close to the edge and propmpted his exploration into the healing process, Rebillot shows how, through the process of ritual, a spiritual emergency can be transformed into a rewarding and powerful experience.”
