Inspired by Minerva. Grounded in the seasons. Three to five quest-takers, starting September 1st.
The year follows the rhythm that farmers have always known. September brings the harvest — and from that abundance, only a few things will survive the winter.
September is for starting fresh. The harvest is abundant — many things are possible. From that abundance, the quest-taker and sponsor together choose what is worth carrying into winter. Not everything survives. That is the point.
Winter is for sharpening tools. Hibernation mode. Deep focus. The work chosen in autumn is refined, designed, and made ready — as farmers have always sharpened their tools across the cold months, thinking about what to plant when the ground thaws.
Spring is for getting serious. The seeds that have been refined and designed through winter are now planted with intention. What was held in potential over winter now goes into the ground.
Summer is for showing. What was planted in spring is now in its full beauty. Quest-takers connect with people at multiple gatherings and share what they have been writing and creating.
Quest-takers for the first year. Small enough that the QuestHub team can hold each quest properly.
Minerva University removed lectures entirely and replaced them with active learning from the first day. Real-world projects were built into the structure from semester one — not added later as extras. The QuestHub enabling space applies that same principle: no warmup, no orientation. The work begins September 1st.
How the QuestHub team holds this space — the check-ins, the solstice presentation, and the structure of oversight — is documented separately.
The methodology of oversight, check-ins, and the year arc in practice.
We don't start with a contract. We start with a conversation.
A first call to see if there is real fit — between the sponsor's quest, the quest-taker's capacities, and the QuestHub approach. No commitment from either side.
Before the quest work begins in earnest, we sharpen tools together. This includes the courses Jakob has created through the EvoPaideia approach — developmental education as formation, not just skill transfer.
With tools sharpened and scope agreed, the work starts. September 1st, season by season.
The kind of person we are looking for as a quest-taker is someone who aspires to what we call EvoSattvahood — striving to embody the qualities that EvoBioSys holds as its human ideal. Alignment matters more than credentials.
EvoSattva is described at bit.ly/evosattva.
The full deal conditions — what the sponsorship includes, revenue sharing for hosted services on top of open source, and the EvoBioSys approach — are documented on the EvoBioSys site.
The full QuestHub enabling space model — methodology, deal, and CosBioSys approach. Coming soon.
Three to five quests. A year grounded in the seasons.
