Ryan Orrock
Catalytic Cartographer, Cosmologist, and Conceptor
A midlife crisis is nothing more than finding out you've been following the wrong map to happiness for 20 years.
"The maps that I was given,
did not work for me.
So I journeyed the world over
and myself began to see.
I had to change them drastically—
went out and drew my own.
If you too feel something's wrong,
join me right here on this throne."
What I do:
- Clear your conditioning
- Challenge your constructs
- Crack open your cosmology
- Catalyze your curiosity
- Cultivate your creativity
- Consecrate your capacity to co‑create new cartographies of consciousness
The Map is Broken
Never in American history have we been confronted with such deep questions about reality.
The rules that we thought applied thirty years ago are gone. The ways that things have been done don't work.
Even those in charge have thrown out the rule books--but the visions they are creating don't seem to serve those below.
What are we going to do?
For 20 years, I've been exploring beyond the maps we were given and searching for new ones.
What I found changed my entire place in the universe, the world, my family, spirituality, and who I thought I was.
I ended up having to tear up many of my maps, revise others, and add extensions to others to begin to chart my own path to happiness.
I believe these new maps can serve for a much happier way of being—for all of us.
The Key
What I discovered? I can't just "do it alone". None of us can. If we want to live in a world that is different than the one we're in right now, we are going to have to work together.
If your current map for happiness, love, relational fulfillment, or some other aspect of life isn't working, let's see if we can draw a better one?
