Description: 

A self-paced framework for artists, writers, and makers who want to create through connection rather than about it.

The CHAMP Solo Guide introduces three simple creative laws—All One Thing, BTSD = O, and ELEMENTAL—that help the individual creator align their imagination with the deeper field of human connection. It’s not a program or philosophy to adopt, but a language to test, play with, and make your own.

Through short reflections and creative prompts, the guide invites you to explore how connection moves through your work, what happens when it strains or breaks, and how each act of making can become an experiment in wholeness.

Designed for individual use, the Solo Guide is the perfect starting point for those curious about CHAMP. It lays the foundation for the CHAMP Facilitation Guide, which extends the same principles into collaborative creation with others.

Connection & Use

The CHAMP Solo Guide is your personal entry point into the Alliance’s creative framework — a way to explore connection through your own creative practice. It gives you the tools to build one Pantry-ready piece at a time, using imagination, embodiment, and curiosity as your compass. Whether you write, move, film, sculpt, or sketch, this guide helps you create inside the experiment of connection, not just about it.

How It Strengthens Connection

The guide teaches creators to work from a shared center — using the three CHAMP creative laws (All One Thing, BTSD = O, and ELEMENTAL) to uncover how connection moves, changes, and reveals itself through the act of making. Each exercise helps you track what shifts inside you, what opens between ideas, and what resonates with others. As you create, reflect, and refine, the work becomes a small but meaningful contribution to a growing field of creators shaping a more connected culture.

Who It’s For

This guide is for anyone who wants to contribute to the Creative Humanity Alliance’s mission — artists, writers, dancers, filmmakers, students, educators, musicians, beginners, and returning creatives alike. No prior training is required. If you’re curious about connection, if you want to make something that helps others feel it, or if you just want a clear pathway into becoming a CHAMP contributor, this guide was built for you.

How to Use It

Begin by reading through the guide once, just to absorb the tone and the framework. Then return to it as a working companion:

• Use Section 5 to choose your Seed of Connection.

• Use Sections 6–10 to build, explore, move, and refine your piece.

• Use Section 11 to prepare what you’ve created for Pantry submission.

You can work through the guide in a single weekend or over the course of months — the pace is yours. The only goal is to create one complete piece that helps make human connection more visible inside the Pantry and, through it, more visible in the world.
