Self-Guided Expedition

The Self Expedition:
Assessing Where You Stand

Reflect on your past, present, and future in a structured and profound way. Discover an innovative, tactile tool that reveals life patterns, clarifies priorities, and paves the way for self-directed action.

Why go on a journey of self-discovery?

Change and lasting effectiveness always begin with an honest assessment of the current situation. The Self Expedition is a tactile reflection tool I developed that makes complex interrelationships surrounding the personality tangible and visible.

On a specially designed, round game board, you journey through the three major dimensions of your life: your focus and your vision. With the help of precise guiding question cards and colored tokens, you explore current patterns, sharpen your focus, and shape your vision. This is a hands-on approach that reflects the complexity of the human experience, fostering an understanding of your own inner processes, guiding principles, and actions—and thereby strengthening your sense of self-efficacy.

The Three Sections — The Stage Structure

The Past – Origins & InfluencesWhat has shaped you into the person you are today?

During the first 21 years of our lives, the foundations for our current values, patterns, and behaviors are laid.

The key questions focus on the following core topics:

  • What has shaped you in terms of your performance and how you handle success?
  • What attachment patterns have you internalized?
  • What were the circumstances of your formative years?

Flexibility Meets Systemic Depth

The Self Expedition is characterized by its high degree of methodological flexibility. Thanks to its well-designed landscape-format card system, users can freely determine—depending on the situation—how many questions to ask per section. As a result, the tool remains completely tailored to the individual process.

Furthermore, the Expedition can be seamlessly integrated with more in-depth, advanced methods. In more in-depth coaching work, for example, we use the board as a starting point for in-depth genogram work to gain a deeper understanding of cross-generational roles and dynamics.
