The Framework Revolution
Structuring Your Genius
If there's one thing I've witnessed over the past two weeks inside Tabernacle, it's this: a clear framework transforms "woo woo" wisdom into saleable solutions.
Here's what I'm noticing: Many spiritual solopreneurs resist frameworks because they feel too "structured" or "corporate." But what if I told you that the most profound spiritual teachings throughout history share one thing: a framework that makes wisdom accessible.
For example, the seven chakras, the tree of life, the eightfold path, the four noble truths, the five love languages... convinced you yet?
Our current Tabernacle Residents have been creating truly awe-inspiring frameworks that blend:
- Intuitive wisdom
- Practical steps
- Visual storytelling
- Personal authenticity
A well-designed framework makes your offer immediately understandable to potential clients. They can see exactly what they'll get, how it works, and what transformation they can expect. This eliminates confusion and hesitation in the buying process.
Here are two Frameworks made visual inside Tabernacle:
Our Four Touchstones
Our Creative Process
The Bridge Between Problem and Promise
What Exactly IS a Framework?
A framework is your unique process that walks clients from where they are to where they want to be. It's the bridge between their problem and your promise.
Think of it this way:
When you don't have a framework, you're essentially saying to your people, "Trust me, I'll figure it out. Hire me, and we'll wing it together."
But with a framework, you're saying:
"Here's exactly how we'll get you from pain to possibility, from stuck to soaring."
You might call it your methodology, your process, your system – whatever resonates. The important thing is having those clear, defined checkpoints along the client journey so your people feel a sense of progress and can recognize when the work is complete. It is what makes the journey compelling!
This approach helps spiritual solopreneurs (like you!) translate their intuitive or esoteric practices into concrete, actionable steps without losing the essence of their work.
Impossible to Replicate
The Hand-Drawn Revolution
One of the most exciting developments I'm seeing is the major comeback of hand-drawn elements in the design world.
In a digital landscape dominated by AI-generated perfection, there's something deeply refreshing about the human touch of hand-drawn elements.
Several Tabernacle Residents have been creating stunning hand-drawn frameworks, photographing them, and then integrating them into their brand materials.
The results are breathtaking – authentic, unique, and impossible to replicate.
And yes, you absolutely CAN draw! Even if you think you can't.

Three Questions
Uncover Your Framework
Ready to start mapping your own framework? Begin with these three key questions:
- What external challenge is your client facing? :(
(The practical, visible problem)
EXAMPLES : declining business revenue, inability to attract clients, creative blocks, relationship conflicts, physical symptoms, or time management issues - What internal struggle are they experiencing?
(The emotional or mindset barrier)
EXAMPLES : impostor syndrome, fear of visibility, scarcity mindset, perfectionism, self-doubt, abandonment fears, or unworthiness beliefs - What philosophical truth needs addressing? :)
(The deeper "why" behind it all)
EXAMPLES : "creativity is our birthright," "abundance is our natural state," "we are all interconnected," or "vulnerability creates strength"
From there, identify 3-5 key milestones your clients need to reach. These will become the backbone of your verbal framework.
Next, create visuals for these milestones, drawing inspiration from your Tabernacle Week Four mood board.
And there you have it—a simplified version of what I teach inside Tabernacle: a visual and verbal framework that helps solopreneurs clearly articulate and communicate their unique process or methodology to potential clients in a distinctive and easy-to-understand way.
And what happens when your ideal clients understand the value being offered? They choose to work with you!
What I'm Working On :
I'm working with our Residents on turning their frameworks into visually stunning graphics that align with their brand identity. Spirals, circles within circles, sacred geometry, and nature-inspired elements are bringing these frameworks to life.
Tabernacle's framework is the combination of visual elements (such as mood boards, graphics, and design elements) with verbal components (messaging, key phrases, and structured language) to help independent business owners (solopreneurs) develop something truly distinct.
What I'm Loving:
This beautiful note from Tabernacle Resident Nikki S. that made my day:
"I want to offer a heartfelt thank you for all the work this morning. I am genuinely beaming and beyond excited about the path I am on with this project. I LOVE all of the touches and design you did on what I recognize was a very simplistic design. I am very grateful to have met you...and to be able to benefit from your beautiful artistic design work.
I really wanted to create something that feels like a true expression of myself (knowing that it may or may not resonate with anybody but me). And you knocked it out of the park for me. I could go on and on...I hope you can 💙💙 feel my gratitude. Best healing wishes to you and Noa"
This is why I do what I do – helping you bring your unique vision to life in a way that feels authentically YOU.
What I'm Learning:
That frameworks evolve through use. Your first version doesn't need to be flawless – it just needs to exist! Only real-world testing provides invaluable feedback that no amount of planning can replace.
I will be the first to admit that my now-creative process framework looked quite different when I first created it. The refinement process showed me why clients hire me and where my skillset is most needed and distinct.

Don't let perfectionism hold you back. Create your framework, start using it with real people, pay attention to the results, and allow it to evolve naturally through experience and feedback.
Here's your invitation to join our next cohort. Five spots are already filled for the May start date.
Simply reply with "READY" or schedule a call to discuss if Tabernacle is the right choice for you.
This Friday, I'm hosting a 6-hour Implementation Day Retreat for my Tabernacle Residents, where we'll be perfecting their concepts and content. I'll likely share updates on this in next week's newsletter.
But I'm curious - what would YOU prefer to see in the next issue: a deep dive into what happens inside these intensive retreats OR a before-and-after showcase of a Resident's Canva IG carousel design? Reply with your vote! ✨
Until next Sunday,
