Nice to meet you,
I'mĀ Dan Olschwang
and IĀ am your guide for "The Hero Journey Guide." My path to this role has been shaped by a series of personal experiences and challenges. I was born in Lithuania in 1969, and my early life was filled with the presence of death,Ā immigration challenges, and constant fear. Growing up in a family that faced generations of persecution and hardship,Ā witnessing harsh realities, including close encounters with death, contributed toĀ developingĀ resilient personality.
Despite finding success in Hi-Tech and management consulting, managing global teams, and running multi-million-dollar businesses, I discovered that material success did not fill a deep inner void. My career and adventures took me to over 50 countries across all continents, offering me diverse and enriching experiences. Yet, despite these accomplishments and thrilling extreme adventures all over the globe, I felt an emptiness that led me on an inward journey, exploring diverse philosophies, scientific inquiry, mysticism, and plant medicine. It was through this exploration that I discovered my own deep-rooted PTSD, a condition that profoundly affected my perception of reality and well-being.
In my determination to heal, I immersed myself in studying trauma, human consciousness, and psychology. Over time, I developed practices that led to significant personal transformation, helping me to break free from PTSD. As my life improved, I felt a calling to assist others in overcoming their fears and limitations. My practice developed organically via word of mouth, as those I helped shared their experiences with others.
Today,
I strive to live a life of expansion, joy, and flow, waking up most days with a sense of excitement and purpose. Through "The Hero Journey Guide," I share the practices and insights that have reshaped my life and those of my clients, with the hope of empowering others to unlock their potential and live authentically.
I invite you to join me on this journey to explore your consciousness, heal past traumas, and navigate life with newfound freedom and joy. The practices you will learn are the ones that worked well for myself and for many others. "The Hero Journey Guide" offers a pathway to transforming your life and achieving your highest potential. Let's embark on this adventure together and discover the hero within each of us.
What people say:
"Exploring within is something that takes quite a bit of courage, Because when you shift yourself from blaming the world around you to trying to take responsibility for your own circumstances, It's not an easy thing to do. The beauty behind the course is that Dan has this incredible gift for breaking down a process that is abstract and difficult to comprehend as this journey, to it's fundamental components. In the world of self help,Ā you get a lot of words like manifestation or flow, tapping into your flow.
The beauty behind the way that Dan, defines these words is thatĀ he has a way of defining them and breakingĀ them down in a way that is directly relevant to you, directly relevant to the real world and giving you exercises that really grouted out to how you can experience that in your life. I attribute that a lot to Dan's background.
First of all, Dan has been through this journey himself. And that's the best kind of teacher. Somebody who's actually lived it, who doesn't just read a million books to intellectually break things down for you. Dan has actually lived it, felt it, and experienced it.
Number two, my personal belief is that Dan's background, in the world of consultingĀ and in the world of business, given him this incredible ability to diagram things out in a way that is so simple, and so insightful, that it's like almost you cannot not understand it.
The third reason whyĀ I think that this course is just very unique is becauseĀ Dan really cares andĀ it really comes across. I've gotten to know Dan through the course, but I've also gotten to know Dan separately through my one-on-one coaching sessions with him, which I've decided to do as a supplement for the Hero's Journeys course.
Getting to know him, who he is, first of all, I've never met anybody who is so fully present with you. He's like right there with you. And, second of all, knowing his own life story, he's experienced quite a bit of violent traumas in himself and, overcome quite a bit of obstacles to get to where he is right now.
He is somebody that doesn't needĀ to do the course. He doesn't need money from the course. He's already had a successful business career. He's already had a successful financial life, an ideal family situation, an ideal life situation. He's just doing this purely out of love forĀ humanity and people and that's what makes him such an incredible teacher because there's no ulterior motive.
There's just this genuine sense of empathyĀ andĀ it's almost like he's completely discarded his own ego to be fully present with getting you to your dream life. And that's what I respect the most out of Dan.Ā
I'm really excited for you guys to be able to experience that too."

The Heroās Journey Guide has been nothing short of miraculous for me! Going into the depth of my mind and excavating all the false beliefs I had about myself and the world has had a profoundly positive impact on my life, happiness and income, too.
Dan Olschwang carries the wisdom of a Native American Elder, with the vision of an Eagle, and the power of a Shaman to explain the human condition in a way that is very accessible, and his tools are undeniably superb to any other ālicensedā psychology professional or modality, because they strike at the root cause of the problem.
The Heroās Journey Guide has improved my life in ways that I never even imagined to be possible. I know it will do the same for you, if you commit to it.

Dan and his Heroās Journey class has been TRANSFORMATIONAL to say the least. Ever since I started my journey with the Spiritual Ninja š§, my life has completely changed for the better. His class has allowed me to face my fears and explore the uncomfortable path.Ā It is through his gentle nudge, compassion, and non-judgment that I was able to face this new frontier with undaunted courage. Like many lost souls, I have tried almost everything under the sun to find relief from my addiction to suffering ā talk therapy, reiki, self-help books, etc. Fast forward after years of searching, I started this journey with a closed heart and big ego.
With Danās tutelage and loving kindness, I am now literally living my dream life. I am surrounded by amazing friends, repaired severed relationships with family, and have even manifested an amazing man!
Everyday I live my life with so much gratitude and an abundance of love. Forever grateful ššš«

Iāve been given the opportunity to receive guidance from Dan for a few years now. When I heard he was planning a seminar, I knew in my heart that this was going to be something special.
I respect/love Dan so much. The fact that he opened his heart and is sharing his teachings and experiences, was an opportunity I didnāt want to miss. And let me just say, itās truly has been one of the best decisions Iāve made. I am on my healing journey. I was ready to gain more knowledge to help shift my direction. Dan has createdĀ two part course. The first part covers breaking down the human experience. TheĀ automatic response system āautopilotā, our reactions, awareness, reason behind trauma, fear and opening up your heart. Part two is the tools on how to help reverse and get back to your true essence. It covers healing vs growing, pattern recognition, rewiring and of course living from the heart. These are only a few of many examples you will learn from throughout his course. This course also is designed to revisit the recordings anytime you need them along with worksheets to help you. Iāve learned so much and have a long way to go.
Iām truly thankful for Dan and all that he does for us. I wouldnāt second guess this decision, there is a reason why youāre guided to his website. Itās your time to evolve more, so sign up!

Over the decades, Iāve worked with plant medicine over 100 times and with it, have had incredible life-changing illuminations and transformation.
Yet, after all this work, I was still missing something.Ā That something was a more integrated and systematic framework for healing and growth, which I found with Dan Olschwang.Ā
When I came toĀ Dan, I wasĀ feeling a bit depressed and borderline desperate,Ā We worked through several exercises to identify and heal open wounding I had from childhood trauma that essentially shaped and limited how I viewed and interacted with the world.Ā This process helped me access and operate from a heart space, where I gained wisdom, intuition and clarity. Dan has the unique capacity to see a situation from multiple perspectives. He brings a substantial amount of practical business experience allowing him to apply a level of executive mindset, horsepower, critical, thinking, and structure to the healing and growth process.Ā Dan has also had to overcome substantial trauma in his own life, has done this work on himself, and understands firsthand the depths of unhealed trauma and the rewards of healing it.
Because of our work together, Iām finding it much easier to align with my greater purpose, to be in a creative flow state, and able to show up unconditionally for my wife and children
