What Is the Atlas of Imbalance™?

A Visual Framework of Harm and Our Path Toward Healing

The Atlas™ is a visual diagnostic framework that helps us see the design of harm, and begin the journey back to our natural state of balance.

It reveals how personal pain, systemic oppression, cultural patterns, and ecological crisis are not separate problems. They’re interwoven expressions of a deeper chronic imbalance.

By exploring each layer of the Atlas, we can name what’s been inherited, internalized, and normalized, then begin to unhook from it. Each circle represents one core layer of the web, guiding us toward clarity and coherence.

Once we expose the design of harm, we can begin to disarm it.

Chronic Imbalance

The origin of our dis-ease

This hub layer reveals the entire structure of the Atlas: a radial map where each outer layer expresses a unique dimension of imbalance or recovery, and is connected by one core force.

At the very center lies Chronic Imbalance, a sustained and systemic state of disconnection that drives suffering across every sector of human and planetary life. It is not a background condition. It is the core disturbance that fuels trauma, oppression, collapse, and disease.

This central rupture drives and sustains suffering on every level:

It births trauma in the body.

It shapes oppressive institutions.

It devastates the planet.

It erodes culture and meaning.

It fragments memory, spirit, identity, and relationship.

This is the root pattern. A chronic condition so embedded in our systems and stories that we mistake it as normal and acceptable.

Surrounding this core are six interlocking domains - four that illuminate how imbalance manifests, and two that chart the path toward a return to wholeness.

Layers of Disconnection

Causes of Imbalance
Manifestations of Imbalance
Personal Impact
Collective Impact

Pathways of Restoration

Restoration & Healing
Foundations of Coherence

These domains are deeply entangled expressions of a larger design shaping how we live, suffer, adapt, and heal. The Atlas invites us to trace these patterns with precision, so we can interrupt what harms and reclaim what heals.
