Navigator of the Unknown
Courageous Attributes

In moments of uncertainty, the Wayfinder leads through the unknown, embodying adaptability, resilience, and a deep sense of direction.

What's in the Shadow?

When the shadow is engaged, the Wayfinder may become lost, unable to trust their instincts or find a clear path forward.

Example

Paul Salopek is a journalist and explorer known for his project Out of Eden Walk, in which he retraces the path of human migration on foot. His journey is a powerful metaphor for navigating through the complexities of life and history, seeking deeper understanding along the way.

Reflection

"Walking is falling forward; each step is a fall and a catch, a momentary standstill before the next step. ​It's a series of infinite pauses, micro pauses, on a journey from horizon to horizon. ​ For me, these micro pauses are 30 inches apart—the length of my stride. ​ Walking, I believe, is the perfect speed for meaning-driven storytelling. ​ It slows me down enough to immerse myself in the daily lives of people I meet along the way—spending a few days in a village here, with a farmer there—enough to garner emotional subtlety about what is important in their lives. ​By not stopping entirely, like a sedentary journalist in an office, I avoid becoming jaded." – Paul Salopek
