The Compass of Living Relationships
Discover where life is inviting you into deeper relationship. A five-minute reflective assessment exploring your relationship with yourself, others, the Living Earth, Spirit and Mystery, and your unique contribution to the flourishing of life.
A portrait of how you are in relationship with life
The Compass reflects five interwoven relationships. None is optional; each is a living petal of the whole. Your assessment becomes an evolving flower — a portrait you return to as you grow.

The soil beneath. How you meet your own body, feeling, and inner life.

The unnamed above. Reverence, meaning, and what holds you.
- East
Others
The weave between. Kinship, intimacy, and the fabric of belonging.
- South
Living Earth
The ground rising. Your embeddedness in place, season, and more-than-human life.
- West
Contribution
The offering forward. Your unique gift to the flourishing of life.
