The ReKindled Journey: The Complete Roadmap

A Story-Based Transformation Methodology

THE COMPLETE ECOSYSTEM OVERVIEW

The ReKindled Journey is a story-based transformation methodology that helps people get unstuck and become who they're capable of being. Rather than generic self-help, this is a personalized journey through five transformational regions and community workspaces, guided by your unique story patterns.

Instead of surface-level fixes: You do deep work that addresses the internal dynamics creating your external patterns, using story as the vehicle for lasting change.

Instead of isolated individual work: You join a community of fellow travelers, each on their own heroic journey through The ReKindled Journey.

PHASE 1: THE STORY ASSESSMENT

"What chapter are you living right now?"

The Discovery Process:

  1. 15-question story-based assessment

  2. Identifies your current Mode (archetypal pattern you're embodying)

  3. Reveals your Chapter (story direction - ascending ⇡, stagnant ||, or descending ⇣)

  4. Directs you to your Region & Community Workspace (where to begin transformation work)

Sample Assessment Result:

"You're in Dreamer Mode, living a chapter of “Dreaming and Dabbling”.

This means you're full of creative ideas but struggle to bring them to completion. Your ReKindled Journey begins in The Range of Adventure, where you'll work with the community in The Atelier to learn frameworks, take action, and get support for transforming visions into reality."

PHASE 2: REGIONAL IMMERSION

"Beginning your transformation work"

Upon Entering Your Region:

  1. Deeper Mode Analysis - Understand exactly why you're in this pattern

The Inner Council System:

Your internal navigation system across all regions
