INTRODUCTION
Project Topic and Guiding Question
This contextual essay accompanies a creative writing piece that I chose to do for my final project in Process Work. The project itself consists of 34 chapters, which come together to tell the chronological story of my life and to reveal my life myth. Using my own narrative as the basis, I created a fictionalized memoir that describes both an inner and outer journey. The outer journey follows the literal landscape of my life thus far: the four continents I lived on or spent significant amounts of time in. The inner journey follows the experience of transformation I went through in those different places. Each continent is both an outer place as well as an inner place that I explore, and each becomes a part of my journey towards greater wholeness. I set out to explore my life story through a creative writing lens that uses Process Work theory and applications to better understand the background spirit that moves us all. The questions that guided me through this project were how to unfold one’s life myth, and how to discover and connect with the spirit that directs our lives and creates meaningful pathways amidst the whirlwind of life's mundane and chaotic experiences.
