Soul Sighting
Soul Sighting is a participatory futuring toolkit that reclaims imagination as a cultural and emotional practice. It unfolds in three phases: Soul Searching, Soul Sensing, and Soul Speaking. Participants surface weak signals, intuitive cues, and lived experience to co-create shared insights. Drawing from narrative foresight, deep transitions theory, and causal layered analysis, the project challenges data-driven prediction by centering story, feeling, and reflection. It helps democratize foresight and opens space for plural futures to emerge—futures that are felt, shared, and rooted in the everyday. Soul Sighting is not a forecasting tool. It is a practice of building muscle for collective imagination, strengthened through care, play, and dialogue.
