Our experience designing and presenting the recent Community Lawyering training has many elements of the mythic hero story. Such stories always involve a journey and include a number of core elements. The hero leaves her comfortable, ordinary surroundings to venture into a challenging, unfamiliar world. The journey may be an outward one to an actual place (barren desert, dark cave) or an inward journey of the heart, mind or spirit. At its resolution, the hero may end up in a new physical place or return full-circle to where she began; in either case, she is transformed in fundamental ways.
