In a world facing unprecedented ecological and social challenges, finding your unique contribution to systemic change can feel overwhelming. Where do you start? How do you align your passions with planetary healing? The answer lies in understanding your authentic strengths and connecting them to the broader movement for regenerative transformation.

Discovering Your Role in the Great Turning

The SolarPunk Compass isn't just another personality assessment—it's a practical tool for conscious awakening and strategic action. Rooted in the Four Foundations of Mindfulness and drawing from Paulo Freire's transformative pedagogy, this free workbook helps you navigate the complex landscape of sustainability work by identifying your natural gifts and connecting them to meaningful action.

When we practice Right View—seeing reality clearly—we begin to understand that personal transformation and collective liberation are inseparable. The Compass guides you through this integration, helping you discover whether you're naturally drawn to:

  • Reconnecting with Nature: Healing our relationship with the living world
  • Restructuring Society: Building just and equitable systems
  • Nurturing Spirituality: Cultivating inner wisdom and compassion
  • Understanding Dharma: Studying the principles that guide right action
  • Embodying Resilience: Strengthening our capacity to thrive through change

From Insight to Action: The Six Interconnected Pathways

True transformation requires moving beyond individual insight into collective practice. The SolarPunk Compass reveals how your unique strengths can contribute to our six interconnected disciplines:

  1. Body - Physical practices that ground us in presence
  2. Mind - Developing clarity and wisdom
  3. Community - Building networks of mutual support
  4. Strategy - Planning effective systemic change
  5. Tools - Mastering practical skills for regeneration
  6. Story - Weaving new narratives of possibility

These six paths converge into a seventh: the radiant practice of everyday regeneration—where personal healing becomes planetary healing.

The workbook includes:

  • Self-assessment tools to identify your natural strengths

Remember: "Education is the practice of freedom." When we understand our authentic gifts and align them with collective healing, we participate in what Freire called "true generosity"—working to transform the conditions that create suffering rather than simply alleviating its symptoms.
