Together we can...
TOPIA
RECLAIM THE FUTURE
OUR WORLD IS
WHAT WE MAKE IT
We’ve been handed two versions of the future:
dystopian nightmare or utopian fantasy.
There is a third option…
Do you feel it too?
That sick-to-your-stomach feeling that your future is being decided by people who clearly aren’t here for your wellbeing. We’re being fed a story of an inevitable future like it’s a freight train headed straight for us and we’re tied to the tracks. Why are the only people offering us future visions bringing us their WORST?
We can do better.
Actually, scratch that. We HAVE to do better.
Because here’s what I know: The future isn’t some unstoppable force barreling toward you. It’s not written in the stars or coded into some algorithm. The future is being made right now, by people – and it might as well be US– you and me– instead of extractive, exploitative, dystopian doom sayers.
FOR THE WILD ONES,
THE WISDOM KEEPERS,
THE EDGE WALKERS,
THE LEADERS, GUIDES AND MENTORS.
TOPIA: a real place
You’ve been doing self-development work for years.
Therapy, coaching, scrubbed your aura, spoken to your ancestors, and you have a toolbox overflowing with tools for communication and nervous system regulation.
You’re not perfect. Neither am I.
You’re not done. No one expects you to be.
You’re on the path. You’re ready.
Topia is about connecting your individual healing and growth to our real, actual world. It’s about asking really big questions and attempting to answer them for ourselves:
- How do we enact a healed society?
- How do we bring maturity and development to the collective?
- Can we imagine what a well culture looks like, sounds like, feels like?
In order to bring about change, we must understand the dynamics at play and enact new behaviors based on the roles we choose.
Part vision circle, part council, part think tank, part mastermind.
Topia is an exploration of the next phase of humanity and how we participate in bringing about a flourishing future.
Dystopian futures are cynical and lazy. Utopian futures are ungrounded fantasy.
Let’s join together to bring forward Topia… grounded in reality and aimed at a hopeful and thriving future for us all.
PARTICIPATE IN COLLECTIVE UNFOLDING
In this space together we can grieve the dreams we had,

WHAT'S INSIDE TOPIA
Where we take our future into our own hands
Think Tank. Mastermind. Learning space. Community.
A complete re-orientation to what thriving feels like.
01
The Braid of Knowing
Stop living as a one-dimensional thinking machine
You’ve been taught that intelligence is just about facts and logic. But you have FIVE ways of knowing that, when braided together, make you unstoppable. Learn to weave them together like the complete human you actually are.
02
THE HUMAN EDGE OVER AI
Your secret weapon is hiding in plain sight
While everyone’s panicking about being replaced by robots, you possess something no algorithm can touch. Tap into your ability to feel and sense through your competitive advantage.
03
REGENERATIVE POWER
personal power that doesn’t burn you out
The old power structures are extractive – they take from you until there’s nothing left. You’re going to learn a framework for personal power that regenerates as you use it, that grows stronger when shared, that creates more energy instead of depleting it.
04
THE Skill of the 21st Century
It’s not what you might think…
Everyone’s obsessing over technical skills while the real superpower goes unnoticed. In a world drowning in information, your ability to sense what’s true, what matters, and what’s worth your attention is pure gold. This is how you stay sovereign in a world designed to capture you.
05
Reclaiming the Tools of Dystopian Storytellers
Redirect them for good
The people writing our nightmare futures are using worldbuilding tools that make their visions feel inevitable. Time to claim those tools for good. Learn to craft futures so compelling that people can’t help but step into them.
06
The Most Durable Substance Known
Harder than diamond, more lasting than stone
It outlives empires. Shapes civilizations. While everyone else is building with outdated commodities, learn to build with the substance that actually lasts.
07
THE AFTERMAP
Redirect them for good
The old world is crumbling whether we like it or not. But what comes after isn’t predetermined. Using design thinking and prototyping principles, you’ll discover your unique role in shaping what emerges from the wreckage. Spoiler: you’re more essential than you think.
08
Your Wealth Portfolio
Security with + beyond money
Learn the forms of value and wealth creation. Part nervous system regulation, part receiving, part stewardship, all about investing in what grows. A new look at wealth that includes and expands beyond dollars.
09
THE COUNCIL
Your people in the space between
Find your community of conscious visionaries who refuse to accept the nightmare-or-fantasy future menu. This isn’t just a course – it’s a gathering place for people actively creating what comes next. Connect with others using their full spectrum of knowing to build the imperfectly marvelous world we all want to live in.
LET'S RECLAIM OUR FUTURE TOGETHER
Join us for an 8 week exercise in scenario planning, nervous system regulation, and process building to bridge between this world and the next iteration of human society.
MEET YOUR FACILITATORS
Topia Creator
What if we picked up each aspect of our world and inspected it with the curiosity of a child?
Nice to meet you! I’m Laura Olsen, the creator of this project. I want to inspect all the assumptions we have about our world, how it works, and what we can all do to participate in the unfolding.
Each week we’ll gather to inspect and unpack an aspect of our world that we take for granted and assume we understand. And then… re-write the rules.
I hope you’ll join us for the adventure!
Future Writing
What if you could fold time to bring your ideal life closer so you could live it now... not just 'someday'?
That’s exactly what we’ll do each week with
Future Writing ™ Facilitator Lila Simmons
Join us as we collectively imagine and craft a future worth bringing forward and stepping into… sooner rather than later.
Each week, Lila will lead us through a process of writing our future and going deeper into our wants, desires, and needs. All in service of participating and shaping the world that’s on the horizon.
Reclaim your center
