A small, quiet thing.
A way to keep what is yours, yours.
A TerraNovaID account is where Your Portrait lives once you have done it. It is where the pieces you read stay readable. It is, in the end, a way to keep what is yours, yours.
A free account opens what we offer to read and reflect with. A paid one carries you deeper into the work, when the time is right.
Most of the site stays open.
An account begins where doing begins.
Most of the site stays open without an account. The pages that introduce what we do, the Letters as they arrive, the Growth Stories, a working set of Reflection prompts: none of that asks anything of you.
An account begins to matter the moment you want to do something rather than only read: meet The Portrait, hold what you found in your Personal Insight Environment, follow a Mirror prompt into your own voice, listen to a Listening to the end. The account is what makes ‘yours’ possible.
Three thresholds,
none of them a wall.
Open to anyone, always.
The Letters. The Growth Stories. A working selection of Reflection prompts. The first paragraph of every Article, the first minute of every Listening, the scene of every Mirror prompt. Everything that explains what we do.
With a free account.
Doing The Portrait. Seeing Your Portrait. Opening your Personal Insight Environment, your reflective home, where Your Portrait lives and where the pieces you choose to keep are kept. Reading the full text of new Articles and Mirror prompts for six months after they appear. Listening to the full Listenings. Subscribing to the Letters, which actually needs only your email, no account at all, but the account makes it part of the same place.
With a membership.

The gentlest analytics we can.
Nothing more.
We do not build an advertising profile from your reading. We do not sell your email to anyone. We do not put a tracking cookie in your browser that follows you to other sites. We use the gentlest analytics we can, to understand which paragraphs reach people, which questions need clearer answers, where the site loses someone before what they came for. Nothing more.
Your Portrait and what you write into your Personal Insight Environment stay in the database we keep. They are not shared. They are not training material for any model. They are yours to read, yours to edit, yours to delete.
One click. One confirm.
The site never asks you to stay by making leaving hard.
One click in your account, one confirm, and everything goes: Your Portrait, your bookmarks, your reading-state, your email from the Letters list. You can do it tomorrow or in ten years. The site never asks you to stay by making leaving hard.
The Letters you have already received stay in your inbox, of course. Those left our hands the moment we sent them.
The next paragraph,
the next listening, the question itself.
If you want to read the next paragraph, the next Listening, the question itself: a free account is all it takes. The form is short. Email, a password if you want one, and you are in.
