The Living Ecosystem Map

This map helps you sense where your inner and creative ecosystem is alive, where it is asking for structure, and where transformation is already beginning.

Answer each question from 1 to 5.

The Living Ecosystem Map

A reflective exercise for seeing your life as a living system. Each area of life affects the others: work influences rest, money influences creativity, family influences love, body influences purpose.

This map is not a diagnosis. It is a symbolic mirror that helps you notice what is alive, what is undernourished, what is overextended, and what kind of movement your system may need next.

Step 1 — Map your current ecosystem

For each life area, choose how nourished it feels and how much pressure it is carrying right now.

Your Living Ecosystem

Step 2 — Reveal your map

Complete the questionnaire and click “Reveal my map”.

Your circles will change according to the current state of each life area. The lines will show supportive, tense, draining, or growing relationships.

Circle = life area

Solid line = supportive relationship

Dashed line = tension or pressure

Dotted line = draining relationship

The Living Ecosystem Map

Create a visual constellation of your current life system. Add the areas, people, projects, emotions, places, or questions that feel relevant now.

Then connect them and observe what is alive, undernourished, blocked, overextended, or transforming.

Build your constellation

Add 5–12 elements. They can be practical areas like work or money, or symbolic elements like “my future self”, “fear of visibility”, “Berlin”, “my body”, or “my creative project”.
