In this opening episode, Steven lays out the concept of Evolutionary Staging and provides a brief guide to the stages of a Snowball project. He also shares about his own snowball journey in building a career as a psychotherapist, a path that unfolded starting with a  snowflake of intention, which was his own sense of felt purpose. A meditative reflection is provided to help you find your own pure snowflake of intention that could be the start of your own snowball. The episode finishes with readings by Terence McKenna and David Whyte.
