Choose the Land That Calls You

Below are five luminous lands we have created as doorways into five different inner landscapes. Each one is paired with a nature photograph, a name, and a feeling. Our hope is that each choice feels like the beginning of a little adventure—as if we are being invited to step through the image and discover a truly magical place waiting on the other side.

You don’t need to know anything about the Gene Key behind it yet. In fact, for now, it may be better if you don’t. Let your eyes wander. Notice which photograph sparks a little wonder in you. Notice which name feels like it has a tug, a shimmer, or a promise hidden inside it. Maybe it makes no logical sense. That is perfectly fine. This is not meant to be a test, and there is no right answer.

We love the idea of beginning this way because so much of the Gene Keys work asks us to soften the mind and listen more deeply. Sometimes the body knows before the mind catches up. Sometimes the heart recognizes a landscape before we know why we are being drawn there. Sometimes we need an invitation that feels less like homework and more like wonder.

Let yourself be surprised. Choose the one that is calling to you now, and on the other side you will discover the deeper teaching, archetype, and invitation held within that landscape. Click on the land that calls you and use the secret password SACRED to gain entry.

As the seasons change we thought we’d change it up here in our Bite-Sized Bravery offerings for our summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, Winter for our antipodean friends! We have created a question and additional inspiring materials around each of the Gene Keys’ Pulses that occur during the month of August. (You do NOT have to know anything about the Gene Keys to ponder most of the inner work contemplations we share.)

There are five Gene Keys’ Pulses, universal archetypal energies, that occur in August and each of the images and lands above correspond to one. Rather than have you guessing which is which, we’re not going to engage your minds here in this post. Instead use your intuition to guide your choice and you will get more information when you follow the link on the image you choose.

"The Gene Keys Pulse tracks the current global theme through the position of the Sun as it moves through each of the 64 Gene Keys within the year. "

Have fun!


This summer, both Lizzie and I have been basking in various sacred fields and thought it would be fun to highlight the Siddhis of all five of the Gene Keys in August. That is what these mystical lands are, they are made up of our interpretations of the sacredness of each of the Gene Keys. If you’d like to investigate some of the other sacred places we’ve been playing in, try out these recent offerings of ours:
