Four Roots of Culture Embodiment

This form invites a short, honest look at where your culture is asking for your attention. Sixteen signals. Read each one and answer for your world right now. No wrong answers, only signals. It'll take about five minutes.

Whether you founded this work or you help carry it, culture is something we co-create — so answer from wherever you sit in it.

When you're done, I will read it myself and send you the root that's calling you first, plus one practice to begin. — Brittany Janay
