The Lodestone.

This is the Root Astro resource map. Everything we teach on the land lives here in reference form, so you can return to it long after the retreat. Start anywhere; each resource tells you what it is for and how it fits the whole.

Measure, then aim, above the line. Down to the beam that holds. Three lintels carry it: ground, lead, keep. Up at last to return. True north points back to work.

The seven, in walk order

What each one is for, and where it sits.

The Instrument

The six-dimension self-reading you take before, at the end of, and ninety days after the retreat.

How you measure what the ninety days changed.

02 · Aim · ring
Truth · Health · Wealth

The three headings you set for the year ahead, here, where the noise cannot reach you.

What the Instrument measures against and what the 90-Day Bearing is built to move.

The Three Lintels

The frame that carries everything else: three roots below the line that hold the load where the rings meet the earth.

Everything below the horizon on the map is one of them.

The Original Stack

The natural operating environment you were built for, in five layers.

The ground the other resources stand on. The retreat runs on the full stack.

Creating Communitas

Leadership as a worthwhile hard journey taken together: overcome together, win together, do things worth doing.

It sits under the beam because leading people is a load you carry.

Back to Human Practices

Daily practices sized for ordinary mornings: ten minutes at a kitchen table, no gear, no app.

How the reset survives the drive home.

The 90-Day Bearing

The plan you draw on the last morning: ninety days of bearings you carry back to work.

True north on the map. It takes every reading, heading and lintel and sets them into one plan.

What is public, and what is reserved

The names, the shape and the why are here for anyone. The working depth stays with the people who have been here.

Each resource page tells you what it is for and how it fits the whole. The protocols, the scoring, the facilitation and the worked examples are part of the retreat itself, and they live with our guests and our facilitators. If you have been here, or you facilitate with us, write to hello@rootastrolabe.com and we will open them for you.
