About
Anusia
The person who created the room she wished existed.
The Imagination Hour is a guided visioning practice. A dedicated hour each week to step beyond the demands of your current life and imagine what's next, alongside people asking the same question.
Inspired by the tradition of writers' salons, it's not a class to keep up with or a call to perform on. You arrive, you settle in, and you're guided through a few prompts to world-build around. You leave having felt your way into what you're aiming for.
How the hour works
Each week, a few prompts to imagine into
The prompts move across three horizons. You don't need answers, just a willingness to picture it. Over the weeks, the picture gets clearer, and so does the next step.
Future self
Who are you becoming, and how do you move through your day?
Future work
What are you making, and what does it feel like to do it?
Future people
Who's in the room with you, and what does that community feel like?
Because you cannot become what you cannot see.
The simple version
what to expect
An hour, held for you, every week
Every Thursday
A standing hour on the calendar. Come every week or drop in when you can.
One hour
Long enough to drop in and imagine, short enough to fit a full life.
Virtual
Join from anywhere. Camera on or off, whatever lets you settle in.
Always free
No cost, no catch. Just save your seat and show up.
In their words
What the hour actually feels like
"This was better than other practices I've done. Through the prompting of the senses, the place built itself. And, I met my best self there."
"I just love these Thursdays together. I feel a little stretched to make the call for some boring reason or another, usually work, but I always feel better after we are all together and sharing."
Why it's the place to start
It's also how you try the Bottega on for size
The Imagination Hour is the front door to everything Soul Toll. It's a genuine practice on its own, and it's the easiest way to feel whether this community is for you, before you decide anything.
From here, the Bottega membership opens up the community, the content library, and the creative practice, with the programs, Explore, Build, and Launch, when you're ready to go deeper. This open hour helps you feel where you'd start, and who you'd be starting alongside.
Come in. See what happens when you finally begin.

A few good questions
Do I need to have an idea already?
No. Plenty of people come with just a feeling that something wants to change. The hour is built to help you find the shape of it, not to test you on it.
Do I have to turn my camera on?
Never. Camera optional, always. Some people like to be seen, others prefer to listen and write. Both are welcome.
Is this a sales pitch for the Bottega?
No. The hour stands on its own. If it turns out you want to go deeper, the Bottega is there, but there's no pitch and no pressure in the room.
What if I can't make it every week?
Come when you can. It's a standing hour, not a course to keep up with. Drop in whenever the week allows.
