Your story begins long before you were born. Where Are Your Roots and Cultural Influences? invites you to explore the layers of your identity — the traditions, values, and experiences that have shaped your worldview — and to rediscover yourself through the lens of culture, connection, and curiosity.
Our roots are the invisible threads that weave meaning into who we are. They influence the way we think, feel, love, and connect — often without our awareness. Where Are Your Roots and Cultural Influences? is a reflective guide that helps you pause and examine these threads with compassion.
Through thought-provoking questions and practical exercises, this Sensitivita guide invites you to explore how your upbringing, environment, and travels have shaped your perspectives — on relationships, work, time, communication, gender, and even spirituality. You’ll learn to recognize where your inherited values serve you and where they may limit your expression or growth.
Drawing on the Lewis Model of Cultural Types, the guide provides a fascinating framework for understanding cross-cultural empathy — helping you recognize your own cultural “map” and how it interacts with others. Whether you’ve lived in one place your whole life or moved across continents, this is a space for deeper understanding — of yourself, your lineage, and your global belonging.
By engaging with Where Are Your Roots and Cultural Influences?, you’ll develop greater cultural self-awareness — understanding how your environment, ancestry, and social conditioning influence your daily choices and relationships. You’ll learn to appreciate the gifts your culture has given you while consciously transforming what no longer aligns with your authentic self.
This process builds empathy and global sensitivity. It helps you navigate difference with curiosity rather than judgment, and to feel grounded in your own story while remaining open to others’. Over time, you’ll find more confidence in expressing who you are — not as a product of one culture, but as an evolving mosaic of experiences and values that connect you to the wider world.
After getting your guide, find a calm space and open Where Are Your Roots and Cultural Influences?. Begin by reading the reflective questions on the first page. Take your time with them — they are meant to awaken curiosity, not to be answered perfectly.
As you write, notice what emotions or memories arise. Do certain traditions bring pride, comfort, or resistance? Do your travels or experiences with other cultures reveal new perspectives? Allow your reflections to unfold naturally.
Then, explore the Lewis Model of Cultural Types included in the guide. Notice which traits you relate to most — are you more logical and structured, emotional and expressive, or diplomatic and intuitive? Observe how these patterns show up in your communication and relationships.
End your practice by writing a short paragraph about what you’ve learned. This could be a realization about your values, an intention to reconnect with your heritage, or a new understanding of empathy. Let your awareness grow roots of its own — deep, grounded, and alive.
