Marking the Outline

The Journey Behind The Power of 12: Manifestation Through Collective Intention

You know when you’re sketching a portrait — just a few lines at first? A curve for the top of the head, a mark for the chin, a guide for the eyes,the nose, the mouth… and before you know it, there’s a face looking back at you.That’s how this whole thing has come together.
That’s how New Earth Adventure works.
That’s how The
Power of 12 was born.

It wasn’t one big moment. It was a thousand little sparks.

The outline becomes the vision — one line, one step, one story at a time.

Always Moving

I’m someone who’s always on the move — not in the running-away sense, but like a river, constantly flowing toward the next thing that calls. One day it’s guitar. Then video production. Then I’m hand-stitching or drawing sacred geometry, diving into astrology, decoding biochemistry. It’s always shifting.

But over time, I realised… I wasn’t flitting. I was building.

I started seeing the connections — how every new skill was creating neural pathways, wiring my brain differently. Playing guitar gave me tempo, pitch, rhythm. That fed into bass, drums, harmonica, trumpet, piano, percussion. One doorway opened another.

The Joy of Learning

At some point, I realized what I truly love is learning — not just the knowledge, but the process. I imagined that every time I learned something new, my brain was literally building itself, heart to membrane. Expanding capacity. Creating bridges.

And as those bridges grew, I saw the web.
Where art meets maths, meets music, meets movement, meets story, meets spirit, meets now.

People as Narratives

When I meet someone now, I don’t just see a person. I see a narrative entering my life — and I know I’ve entered theirs. And we get to choose: What will this story be?

Sometimes we connect. Sometimes they look at me like I’ve lost the plot. But that’s okay. I’m always scanning for resonance. For alignment. For shared direction.

So I started bringing people together intentionally.

Imagine when we’re all working together in harmony to repair, heal, and return to our potential as a whole. Humanity’s potential.

Devon: The Forge

When I lived in Devon, Chloe and I were out at a different gathering nearly every night. Housing co-ops, food growing circles, art collectives, music jams, law groups, start-up cafes, community radio.

From all of that, I learned so much — about holding space, conflict resolution, listening circles, talking sticks, clockwise sharing, fire rituals, and more. And I saw what worked… and what didn’t.

Sometimes there were too few people, and things fizzled out.
Sometimes there were too many, and the energy scattered.

The Power of 12

That’s when the idea of 12 started to crystallize.

Twelve is a magic number.
It’s in astrology. It’s in the body. It’s in the clock, the calendar, the cosmos.
It holds structure and flexibility. It’s just enough to carry a vision, without losing the signal.

So I started speaking about group manifestation — small, focused circles of 12.
And then I wrote a document: an invitation to test the idea.
12 people. Same vision. Same page. Clear intention. Amplified energy.

That document became the seed of this book:
The Power of 12: Manifestation Through Collective Intention.

This Blog Begins

This post is the first in a series — a way of sharing the stories, ideas, patterns, and pulse behind New Earth Adventure. I’ll be writing about community, creativity, land, learning, sound, connection, and of course, sacred tech.

This isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about marking the outlines, one blog at a time, until the full face of the vision looks back at us.

Thanks for being here.
We’re all on our way to each other.
