Visionary Archetypes for Worldbuilding

If you are someone who feels “called” to build a vision in the Western World and you know that that calling is coming from somewhere deep inside yourself, you are also asking big questions about what it looks like to survive doing it. How do you earn enough to stay afloat as the economy shifts and tightens around us? How do you build sustainably when the ground beneath us is shifting?Turns out, rent is still due at the end of a world. And so are payments for our Student loan debt. Turns out that taxes still have to be paid to the United States Government even though we all know that the taxes we pay are funding enslavement and genocide.How do we reconfigure? What is the prayer? Who do we need to become to move through these experiences together without losing our humanity and soul? How do we keep moving, creating and building in the face of so much culture change, moral expense, and death?I don’t have the answer to these questions.I think that these are inquiries that we need to turn to ceremony for. We need spaces of shared prayer and listening and quiet. We need ashrams, covens, dojos, zendos, sanctuaries and caves to hold these questions together and pray.I don’t believe that the answer will come as one large prophetic vision from one person.I believe it will come through fragments of dreamtime, shards of many people listening and receiving insight and vision from the belly of the Earth. It will come from spending time as individuals together, remembering who we are. It will come as a million different conversations that move through us as a multi-faceted dream of the Earth.Links Mentioned:The Visionary Archetypes Quiz3-Hour Live Workshop :: Worldbuilding with the Visionary ArchetypesSubstack Post: Visionary Archetypes for WorldbuildingThe Visionary Archetypes are for you if…Your notes app is filled to the brim with ideas and half-baked plans but you’re not entirely sure where to begin or which ideas are viable yet.You've been pushing hard to build but the data (revenue / margins / exhaustion) is showing you that it's time for a much different approach and you’re not totally sure what steps to take next.You’re overwhelmed by the potential of what you’re building but you’re feeling some trepidation on taking the necessary steps to make things sustainable.
