Imagine each Earth Archetype at 5 years old.
They come to the planet with their own unique personalities (as any mother will tell you!) Yet they are still learning, growing, and creating core memories.
So in addition to a color, each Kid Earth Archetype has a TOY. Just like human kids learn adult skills like cooking, driving, building, etc with toy versions of adult tools.
Of course, they are encouraged to enjoy all the colors and play with all the toys, but by their very nature gravitate towards certain ones.
After the teenage years where they constantly try combinations of toys and clothes, testing boundaries, and differentiating themselves...
Imagine each Earth Archetype as mothers and fathers, employees and entrepreneurs, 20something and elders...
Their experiences have developed into refined skills, habits, and traits. Yet (hopefully) they remain open and curious to what life and nature will share.
So their colors remain while their toys have become stitched into their clothes as they become part of the interconnected fabric of life.
For millennia, humans have personified symbols and images to represent core truths about ourselves, our cultures, and our systems.
Cave drawings. Origin stories. Sacred geometry. Hieroglyphics. Oracle cards. Bead, pottery, or fabric patterns. Combining life lessons and natural law condensed into stories filled with meaning.
Nowadays we tend to hold that a similar (yet disposable) energy with celebrities, fashion, and how to lists on one side and graphs, equations, and statistics on another.
Earth Archetypes works to bridge the gap between the two styles.

To have a "hook" that serves as a starting point -- just like many couples therapists will tell you that Love Languages is a great place to start (but not end)...
In order to animate a deeper core truth that we ARE nature. Our lungs breathe the air that makes up the layers of atmosphere. Our hands plant trees as animals spread seeds across a forest through fur and digestion. Our bodies wake and rest in a rhythm attuned to the Earth's rotation.
Can you see how this could be a HUGE jump for many people to go from hook to core? Existential even.
Just like puppets, cartoons, and superheroes... The Earth Archetypes illustrations help us get there.
"Show don't tell" is an common phrase used in everything from marketing to neuroscience.
We are much more likely to learn something new, be persuaded, take action, and make changes...through story, demonstration, or experience. Our brains are wired for it.
Stats and figures may induce a curious "Oh that's interesting!" like the one right next to these words your are reading right now...
But a story with relatable characters ignites our passion, eagerness, and commitment.
And by making the 5 Earth Archetypes rather one dimensional with both superpowers and challenges, they invite you to explore how to create a reciprocal relationship with nature in 3, 4, or even 5 dimensions.
Let's give it a go....
Pick any two of the Earth Archetypes.
Perhaps you identify with both. Or one represents you and another represents someone you know. Or perhaps you pick two that feel contradictory.
Then place them in a scenario.
Sitting down at a family meal. A town hall about a climate initiative. A meeting at work. Working in a community garden.
Now imagine...
How does each Earth Archetypes want in to the scenario? What is their goal and how do they contribute? Do their superpowers or weaknesses arise? Do they compliment or challenge each other? Do we learn from their mistakes or their successes?
That's the next step here at Earth Archetypes!
This month, we are first unrolling this "photoshoot" of all 5 types. This way people can see, imagine, and share with friends.
Then in Q1 of 2025, the goal is to create both a kids and adults coloring book with static images of such combinations and scenarios. Think of it like a book full of story prompts that you color while imagining the unfolding story.
By practicing with the pairings, we are excited to develop full story lines that can be written as graphic novels for grades 1-5 and written into outlines for the reality tv show and live recorded podcast "How on Earth?"
To keep this progress going, we've outlined Q1 budgets for sustainable, growth, and thriving goals.
And this is where your support comes in!
This "photoshoot" of the 5 Earth Archetypes is now on greeting cards that you can buy and share with friends.
Kinda like a crowdfunding campaign, you can decide how many cards you can buy to support our Q1 needs and share the cards with friends, family, clients, and colleagues.
And if you are excited about the scenario you imagined earlier, we can work with you to illustrate it now. It serves as a wonderful tree-free option that you can share across the digital-verse. Plus, we can include it in the upcoming coloring book!
If you would prefer sponsorship opportunities or a tax deductible donation, we can also help you with that.
All of your support will go towards making Earth Archetypes as influential as the Love Languages!
