the cathedral
One visits a cathedral to see what vision looks like when it is built with care and purpose, where imagination takes form through devotion.
You can benefit from visiting the cathedral if you are:
- struggling to turn a vision into something real
- craving more structure in your creative process
- ready to give your inspiration form and foundation
- losing momentum or devotion in your long-term goals
- seeking deeper meaning in the things you build
Keywords: structure, order, clarity, vision, craft, form, precision, devotion, foundation
The Dream Hall focuses on imagination, exploration, and curiosity. This hall encourages innovation and invites you to experiment with ideas or experiences.
structure - creating frameworks that hold & support
Your job is to build the frameworks that give your inspiration stability.
✨ Current Obstacles:
- "I can see the vision, but I don’t know how to bring it into form."
- "I keep starting, but then I lose consistency and momentum."
What does your vision need from you right now to take its next shape?
We may think that projects unfold linearly, built from both a clear vision and concrete ideas from start to finish. But usually, the next steps are revealed as the moment unfolds. Ask yourself, "What are the frameworks that I can build today to make today's steps possible to take forward? Create tangible action steps that feel manageable, rather than focusing on the whole vision.
What is your deepest "why"?
Identify where your processes usually break down. No matter the obstacle (lack of motivation, missed opportunities, something else), lasting motivation comes from understanding your deepest reason for doing what you're doing. The clearer we are on our "why," the easier it becomes to see the steps and details to get there. We also feel more comfortable to rest without guilt.
order - transforming chaos into coherence
Your job is to arrange, prioritize, and sequence your ideas or actions.
✨ Current Obstacles:
- "Everything feels jumbled and overwhelming."
- "I struggle to decide what to prioritize."
- "The steps don't flow or feel connected."
What can you do today to make your ideal day feel possible?
Think about your ideal day - what are you doing and how much time are you spending doing it? Our goal is to empower you to spend as many days as possible living your ideal day. Any step towards making this happen is a step in the right direction, no matter what order the steps are taken in.
We don't need to know the full picture. We don't need to know exactly where our efforts will take us. All we need to do is to start living our ideal day today, and those activities will give us the clarity on which steps to take next. Remember to also think about the structures that would allow your ideal day to happen.
If you center your purpose around how much joy and fulfillment you get in each moment, your perspective of chaos starts to shift to clarity. That can give you a sense of direction in a sea of seemingly endless tasks.
clarity - making complexity understandable
Your job is to separate the noise from what matters.
✨ Current Obstacles:
- "I struggle to make sense of what’s happening."
- "I struggle to identify what matters most."
What is the simplest way that you can reframe this?
It can be easy to complicate things when there are so many other possibilities or distractions. We can distill what is in front of us - whether it's processing emotions, working on tasks, understanding concepts, journaling about our values, etc. - by focusing on the most basic, simple, essential message. Simple can be deeply creative and impactful.
Think of what seems to pop up in your awareness the most. Find the simplest way to explain what you're doing and why, as if explaining or exploring like a child. This can immediately shed light on what is truly important.
vision - bringing in awareness
Your job is to picture outcomes clearly so that you can take intentional action.
✨ Current Obstacles:
- "I struggle to tell if what I’m doing now matters in the bigger picture."
- "I struggle to see how what I’m doing connects to my larger goals."
- "I feel disconnected from my overall purpose and direction."
How do you want to impact others?
Believing that we have the opportunity to greatly impact others can immediately connect us to our overall vision.
Your brand is the pinnacle of your unique. makeup - your life's experiences, personality, dreams, desires, and core values. How can all these things serve other people in some way?
How do you want to move people? What types of people do you want to attract to your brand? How do you want them to feel when they connect to your brand? Use "the other" as a mirror for your process. While our individuality forms the basis of our self-expression, our sense of impact is what brings our vision to life.
Knowing the answers to these questions will help you recognize your goals and what decisions will bring you there.
brainstorming business ideas
You can think about your brand as both your personality and the impact you leave on others.
Your authentic self is your authentic impact.
- You can embody the themes of the cathedral in your personality.
- You can embody the themes of the cathedral as a foundation to build any area of your work (or life).
- You can make your audience aware of the themes of the cathedral.
- You can inspire others to also embody the themes of the cathedral.
Ask yourself these questions:
- Check the keywords above to see if they naturally align with you.
- Think of activities you love / might love to do - could you pursue them from the value set that the cathedral represents?
- Close your eyes and imagine how it would feel to bring people to your cathedral.
- Does it feel fulfilling for you? If so, why? If not, why not?
- How are others affected by your cathedral?
- Can you see yourself growing both more comfortable and more curious in this role?
You can use any / all spaces as a foundation for your business and life. A space can represent:
- the foundation that your business is built upon
- a guide for you to make decisions
- a temporary or permanent foundation
- a framework you use for certain processes only
- how you want to show up in the world
- how you want to impact others
- the values that you want to integrate
Why are doll halls so important?
The more clear we are on the role we want to embody & play in the lives of others, the easier it is to give our business a sense of direction and purpose. This is the purpose that grounds us on our path and helps us overcome the challenges that come our way.
As we evolve, we may want to explore other spaces or just remind ourselves what our center is made of. We can lean into these archetypes at any point, whether we commit to just one, are drawn to several, or shift into all of them.
