The themes on the stickers you selected point to opinions, beliefs, ideas, issues, essences, practicalities, .. The blue planet poster lets you differentiate between what you hold in your mind and the full reality of your life.

• Scenario: Voices in the city working together like bees in a hive
• Summary: exploring the concept of the human hive provides new insight and ideas to live and work together
• Project in 2020: being a part of the Integral City Core Team was of great support, during the development of the first societal scenarios. It was Marilyn Hamilton, founder of Integral City, who was a source of inspiration for this scenario. The scenario uses a simple meshworking process to enable multi-stakeholder groups in a city to discover and experience Humanity’s Code of Care and find new ideas and perspective for collaboration. Workshops using this scenario were organised in cooperation with the Caravan of Unity, an initiative of Co-Creating Europe for peace, democracy and solidarity. During the 99 days journey of the Caravan, from World Unity Week to Peace Week, a mixture of online and on location workshops were hosted for London and Findhorn in the United Kingdom, in Klaipeda in Lithuania, Tampere in Finland, and Lisbon in Portugal. Both the experiences and the outcomes created a rich harvest.

• Scenario: Developing more love and peace in your life
• Summary: enjoy the richness of your life and find out how to create love and peace everywhere
• Project in 2024: four aware and sensitive people chose to participate in a lifemaps project to explore the questions: where am I, who am I, what is essential to me and how will I go on from here? The approach was holistic and inspired by the vision of oneness. It was a deeply personal exploration which invited individuals to open up to the new. The outcomes were substantiated with an overview of their own realities. This project ran for three months.
• Project in 2022: a group of four people set the intention to find ways to develop more peace in our own lives, as a person and as a citizen. During the 99 days journey, from World Unity Week to Peace Week, we worked with lifemaps to create an overview of how what was going on in the world was reflected in our lives. The individual mapping process helped to open up ourselves. Then, seeing ourselves in this overview, we explored the openings and possibilities to consciously develop peace. Exchanging stories and deep listening brought our energies together and created a harmonious and connected group space. Looking back at our journey, we were amazed to find how peace had indeed inspired us and had expressed itself in our actions. This project ran for four months.

• Scenario: Manifesting a life, grounded in wholeness
• Summary: learn more about consciously creating your daily life, using your unique inner powers
• Project in 2023: one group worked on personal creation and manifestation. Choosing principles of creation that came to the fore in the past and selecting principles yet unknown as an inspiration for the future invoked enthusiasm. Filling in the map with the key life themes that were part of the past was an enlightening experience. Mapping the current situation on the poster and filling in the key themes as longed for and aimed for in the future brought surprise and curiosity. Storytelling and sharing feedback brought trust and connection in the group. A dialogue about the meaning of ‘my roots’ was eye-opening and moving. After this, people shared what had already been fulfilling in their lives. A constructive dialogue followed in which each participant looked at the future, through the lens of the new-found insight. In several come back meetings, people digested the process, individually and through group conversations. This project ran for six months.
• Project in 2023: one group worked on manifesting in wholeness. In the mapping process people created a grand overview of their lives. The exploration of the map brought more insight into how they had been creating their lives using their inner sources: motives, capacities, values, preferences and priorities. The experiences which came to the fore during the enquiry process showed the value of a holistic orientation on the future. Individuals reflected how that which is collective could be included more in everyday life. This project ran for four months.

• Scenario: Your life’s work, seen from a collective perspective
• Summary: Enquiring into what is collective helps to find new ways towards a more inclusive, value-oriented and nature-rich future.
• No project, yet. In this scenario you take a deep dive into your life. A reality-based, multilayered overview of your life becomes the foundation for reflection and exploration. You embrace your filled-in map, acknowledging how you did the best you could, up until now, how you love yourself for being you. As a group we exchange insights and experience, we explore concepts, patterns and principles which are new to us, to gather ideas and find ways to create the future we would like to give form to. This scenario is for people who are adapting their lives to be inclusive, value-oriented and nature-friendly.

• Scenario: Recognising the soul in your life
• Summary: living from the heart, with a sense of soul, enriches and deepens your choices
• Project in 2020: a group connected to Integral City chose this scenario to experience working with lifemaps. They were touched by what they found out about themselves, especially by being able to see the richness of their lives, multilayered and multifaceted. They were inspired by the value of deep sharing and dialogue based on the filled-in maps. This project ran for two months.
• Project in 2018: five groups tested scenarios about personal transformation, using different lifemap materials: Completely yourself (light and shadow), Conscious business (environment friendly, generous with money), Creating your life (guided by natural principles) and Life’s mission (based on what shone through from the filled-in map). The day-long workshops took place in a harmonious location in the countryside. Their experiences laid the foundation for the later scenarios.

• Scenario: Sharing what it’s like to be young
• Summary: self-knowledge, developed in generational groups, creates a foundation for solidarity
• Project 2015: The first version of this scenario is still in use as a part of the (Dutch) BOOST013 programme for young people. In the programme they practice to gain more self-insight and to make better use of their qualities. The programme is meant to prepare them for the future, for education, internships and work.
