Do You Feel Your Mission Within?

Your persistent inner calling.

The subtle yet undeniable pressure of your Mission Within.


It saturates everything. Follows you everywhere…


...into meetings where you smile politely while your soul screams for integrity.

...into conversations where you speak the language of mediocrity while your heart beats to a higher rhythm.

You know you're meant for much more than this society of superficiality and hollow success.

But how will you bridge that gap?

How do you manifest your inner knowingness in a world that rewards blind conformity?

The Power of Creative Contemplation

By focusing your creative attention to orbit inner conceptual elevations and expansions, you use your higher imagination to build innovative and fresh solutions to your life and business.  

Making contemplation a central part of your creative process opens your innovative options in a far wider and higher way than meditative practices can achieve.  

You see, meditative practices actually work against the mind in an attempt to corral it into silence or ride a rickety mantra into submission. Contemplation, on the other hand, works with your mind and attention to evoke insights and new viewpoints inaccessible to meditation.
Creative activity is a type of learning process where the teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.
Arthur Koestler
Author and Journalist 1905-1983

  • Past Memories
  • Ideas for Future Innovations

Discover Your Treasure Mission contemplation studios provide you with the framework and space to listen within and then use your growing Mission Treasury to stockpile all thoughts, ideas, and feelings. Just like brainstorming, the practicality or relevance of these Treasures do not matter. That can be sorted in the second Mission contemplation studios of Design Your Vortex.

Leap Deep Within

Embark on your transformative journey with this foundational contemplation studio that introduces the core axioms of discovering your Mission Within. Through guided contemplation and deep self-reflection, you'll learn that your mission is always with you, its Treasures surround you, and only you can transcend the limitations holding you back. This first studio establishes the essential framework for your conscious journey to elevate your frequency and discover your Mission Within.

Create Your Mission Treasury 

Build your personal documentation system to capture every insight, vision, and creative flash that emerges during your contemplation journey. This practical studio guides you through establishing a scalable, media-inclusive Treasury that gracefully supports your creative process—whether through software, physical studio walls, or traditional pen and paper. You'll initialize your mission with a brand name and description, setting the stage for further deep creative exploration within.

Detox Your Ingenuity — Exemplar

Witness Ava's transformative journey as she demonstrates the powerful self-concept detoxification process outlined in Studio 4. Through dreamstream technology, experience her contemplative practice as she identifies and transforms three core limitations—from emotional reactivity to fear of other people’s judgments—by wrapping her higher self-concepts around her old limiting self-concepts. This exemplar provides a practical introduction for your own constraint-clearing work.

Detox Your Ingenuity — Practice

Break free from the indoctrinations and shallow programming that calcify your creative potential. This hands-on LeapLab guides you through identifying your three most significant constraints—whether fear, guilt, or limiting self-beliefs—and systematically transforming them by adopting their opposite concepts. Through structured contemplation rounds, you'll define and inhabit new elevated self-concepts until you feel genuine shifts in your inner creative capacity.

Your Mission Discovery — Exemplar

Follow Ava's creative process as she explores her "Tractionarium" mission through three focused discovery LeapLabs. Watch her uncover her ideal audience (struggling business owners and launching entrepreneurs), identify core problems (industry blind spots and work-life imbalance), and develop innovative solutions (business model optimization and conscious executive edgecraft). This multi-part exemplar demonstrates how to fill your Mission Treasury with actionable insights.


Your Mission Discovery — Practice

Step into your expanded ingenuity through this comprehensive discovery process designed to transform your Mission Within into a living reality and successful business. Through three distinct contemplation orbits—audience, problems, and solutions—you'll systematically explore and document every Treasure that aligns with your Mission Within. This repeatable exploration framework helps you capture hopes, dreams, symbols, insights, and innovations for practical application.

What Creative Deep Ones Are Saying:

— Innovative Creatives Around the Globe Are Building Their Deep Missions

PLACEHOLDER: "After 12 years in corporate marketing, I felt creatively dead inside despite the promotions. DEEP MISSION helped me uncover my true calling without immediately quitting my job. Six months later, I launched my independent creative practice and now make more than my corporate salary doing work that actually matters." – *Marcus J., Former Marketing Director

PLACEHOLDER: "The constant anxiety of having an important creative mission while being trapped in spreadsheet hell was making me physically ill. DEEP MISSION gave me the structured practices to not only define my mission but create a transition plan that didn't involve financial suicide. The 'Gather Your Treasure' process alone was worth ten times the investment." – *Elaine T., Emerging Sustainable Fashion Designer

Our Founders' Missions

Philip Brautigam

From an early age, Philip sensed the disconnect between societal expectations and authentic purpose. At the age of 13,  he discovered that photography explorations offered him a creative awareness feedback loop that was not present in other activities. 

And yet, finding no heart-felt traction in the rigged game of fine art, Philip turned as an adult to the selfless service of commercial marketing creation. By crafting beautiful, strategic, studio photography and graphic design into compelling outreach campaigns, he mastered the art of elegantly bringing innovative ideas into physical actuality.    

Through years of inner exploration and professional evolution, Philip developed a unique ability: connecting with the energetic presence or highest embodiment of each business he worked with.  

As a strategic and empathic media creative, working with over 300 business owners, Philip discovered that when leaders connect with the elevated essence of their own businesses, higher transformation naturally emerges.  

Philip’s own mission within emerged from his own inner contemplation systems developed for serving his clients would be extremely useful to creative business owners in a world of AI and elevated opportunities. 

Philip reached out to his long-time friend Anne Henry to form the partnership of Deep Leap Studio LLC and made this mission within an actuality.

Anne Henry

With decades of experience as an architectural designer, lead editor at microsoft.com, and co-founder of a highly successful nonprofit, Anne brings precision, discernment, clarity, and practical wisdom to the Deep Leap methodology, as well as having spent many years exploring her own inner vision.

Her background in envisioning and creating structures that stand the test of time perfectly complements Philip's contemplative approach, resulting in programs that are both transformative and engagingly practical.
