Category: Value Anatomy: Development

Need to find new team members with impossible qualifications and some spare time? Here!

We are not done yet but we’ve come so far from the original random list of values we discussed with Tony Achmat at the beginning of this project! As a milestone for the next stage of development, I released a new version of the Value Anatomy matrix, in this case, it’s 5.2, marking significant additions…

The idea of chakras has been with me since my teens. I created my first spreadsheet listing all their known attributes sometimes in 1996 or 1997. But today, I just came across something I completely forgot about – an open letter to my close friends that I published online in February 2004, just about 15…

The Dolphin is one of the seven main animal symbols in Value Anatomy, embodying the energy of Love and the Heart Chakra. Seven years ago, I began collaborating with Olda Bureš, the first Czech dolphin therapist – meaning someone who assists dolphins in healing people, not the other way around. Olda spends each spring and…

I’m happy to announce that Value Anatomy now has a new logo. It’s the beginning of establishing an overall look and identity of this project. The logo was a result of a week-long process involving a design competition among 22 designers from around the world, as far as the Philippines, Brazil, Indonesia, Ukraine, Canada and…

I received the one phone call I didn’t want to hear – Tony Achmat, my dear friend and co-creator of the Value Anatomy project died last night. He’s been in intensive care in the past few days after a heart-attack, so I’ve been thinking about this possibility and dreading it. But I’ve also thought about…

Today we completed the hierarchy containing over 700 values. Hours and hours of work! Stage one is done, now the real work begins.  Thank you, Alasdair Bouch, for your patience and help with creating the gigantic Value Anatomy spreadsheet. Thank you Tony Achmat for the inspiration, illustrations and invaluable advice. Thank you Jim Freeman for…

This Easter Monday was another major milestone for me. Tony Achmat came back from Sri Lanka with an envelope full of wonderful Zentangle images for the Value Anatomy cards and books. They depict symbolic animals for each section – 7 major ones and 49 minor. And they are amazing! I unpacked them in front of…

The extreme structure of Value Anatomy lends itself to many outputs. Among the ones we already discussed were books and video courses, as well as children’s games or motivational cards. I like working with both motivational and oracle card decks, so this seemed as a natural choice. Tony Achmat sent me some sample images from…

For a woman interested in sacred geometry, I’m outrageously bad with numbers. I apparently have dyscalculia, the “number version” of dyslexia. 6 and 9 are kind of the same to me. Not good. But I do understand 7 just fine. Value Anatomy became a 7-fold fractal, a pattern that seemingly endlessly repeats with more or…
