eryone in their life has a moment of break to belonging. The concept of break to belonging is a tragic loss and the choice that we make in or after that moment. This presentation looks at the hero's journey to examine how are mythological stories can inspire and direct us. The tragic loss of an Uncle in Spiderman. Witnessing the death of his parents in the Batman stories. Losing an entire home planet within the Superman archetype; our heroes rise from tragedy to become the symbols we look towards for hope and adventure.

This presentations' goal is to utilize these stories at a safe distance to hopefully spark moments in your life that you can bring the hero's principals to them. Perhaps having a loss in your family that ultimately brings the other family members closer. Discovering the moment of brokenness and finding meaning, purpose in the suffering that in turn makes you stronger, resilient or empowered. The presenters hope is to explore iconic various characters and their rise from brokenness to belonging while connecting those principles to interventions everyone can use to live a superhero lifestyle.
