Hero Portals — a virtual community/campus for everything to do with the Hero’s Journey and making heroic lives — has been years in the making.
The seeds of the idea were sowing long ago when John Jarvis and Irwin Berent first designed a software program for writing fiction based on the Hero’s Journey paradigm.
Years later, the ideas have morphed into a grand home of wisdom and tools for “all things hero, heroic, and Hero’s Journey” — Hero Portals — where you can not only purchase the StoryCraft Classic Software or StoryCraft New Edition software programs but also take in an entire holistic experience of life improvement and wisdom at the same time. The ideas behind the hero’s journey have grown in usefulness, and the concepts behind the hero’s journey have been adapted to purposes far beyond its original inspiration and purpose of simply creating a fictional story and have entered the realms of education, medicine, therapy, wellness, success, creativity, history, economics, interpersonal relationships, and personal development in myriads of ways.
The value of understanding how we are all part of multiple and cyclical hero’s journeys is more important than ever before. And with recent events ranging from terrorism to natural disaster to social instability and unrest — not to mention COVID-19 — interest in, and appreciation for, our heroes, past and present has also never been greater.
PURPOSE
While all can use the StoryCraft software to write any kind of fictional stories, Mr. Berent designed Hero Portals as a place for all who hunger to understand better their condition in life and to correct and improve however they can. It is also a place where young and old can join together to promote the spirit of heroism and to recognize, write about, talk about, learn about our greatest and favorite heroes, both personal and historical.
We are delighted to welcome you to this experience — the experience of learning about yourself and your trials and your joys, and of highlighting the greatness in our friends and mentors, our teachers and healers, our protectors and caregivers…our heroes, while celebrating the best in others, and ourselves, and recognizing the value in even our enemies and antagonists and all who move us and challenge us to change.
Travelling in these journeys, discovering and growing along the way, you have a place — at Hero Portals — in which to discover hero tools and wisdom as well as to purchase the unique StoryCraft software program to create stories and fully integrate Hero Portals, and the Hero’s Journey, into the story-writing/story-telling/story-appreciating process.
