Our Collaborators

Headline about the model & how it’s different / the value for the potential client

At the Crossroads to the Future

We Embrace Multiplicity: of people, of points of view, of deep wells of expertise. We believe any rich ecosystem thrives from diversity, and the more eyes with which we can look at a problem, the more clearly we can see the way forward. While our collaborators each have a core leadership skill, they are all “hyphen people”, able to guide cross-sectionally.

We Balance Polarities: we go broad and deep, combine intellect and intuition, and integrate creativity seamlessly with strategic thinking. We’ve worked at both the highest corporate levels to grassroots entrepreneur experience and can hold the full spectrum in our view. With eyes fixed on the edge of the future, we remember the wisdom of our ancestors.

We Center at the Heart: At Pythia, we have many heads - but one heart. In this way, we can be both decentralized and participatory without compromising on momentum or decisiveness. Our shared passion is the desire to shape a new, regenerative reality that amends and rewrites the exploitative patterns of the past. Instead of providing answers, we believe, as Rilke said, in “living the questions some distant day into the answer.”

 Questions

  • We can help bring an initial intuition into precise direction. This is our preferred starting point, as often what clients believe is the challenge is only the surface-level problem, or a red herring. From our expert outside vantage point, we can take a good look at your brand/business and give you an honest assessment as to what the work is to be done, and how to do it. You can book a Brand Reading® to get a pulse on your brand overall. If your brand is the right match for Pythia Collaborative or some of our collaborators, you’ll get a precise plan of action as an outcome of your Brand Reading®.

  • The five people presented - Emma, Saga, Brooke, Callie, and Rebecca - offer core functions of any brand re-imagining and some mix of this core will be present in any Pythia Collaborative proposal. The mix is curated according to the needs and budget of the client.

    Graphic design is also a core function of brand work. However, we find this piece needs to be matched specifically for each individual client, as each designer has a specific style.

    For skillsets that are tailored to a brief - e.g. movement-building expertise, event-production, content creation - we tap our broader networks to find the voices best suited to fill out the whole.

  • While the Pythia Collaborative began as a formalization of as Saga's inner circle of creative partnerships, it has grown to be a truly mycelial web of networks beyond the original network. These are deeply human relationships: we have worked with each other, trust each other, and have amplified each other in ways visible and invisible. For the newer relationships, we have chosen to align because we share a shared vision of a regenerative future, and notice that we are working with the same ideas in our separate corners… so why not work together?

  • Of course! Our collaborators are all independent consultants with their own businesses in targeted fields. If you have a situation that only needs one expert at the table, you can reach out directly via their linked websites, or book a Consultant Curation session where we can guide you towards the best people for your project.

  • Unless otherwise requested, all paperwork is streamlined through Saga Blane LLC to allow for administrative efficiency.

  • If you want to become part of Pythia, email your work to saga@sagablane.com to start the conversation.

Book a Brand Reading

Brand Readings® with Saga Blane are 60-minute sessions for brands of any size and any category to see their brand more deeply.

A brand is more than a name, a logo, or a tagline—it’s a living entity with a distinct presence, energy, and potential. A Brand Reading is an intuitive and strategic analysis that reveals the essence of your brand, clarifies its strengths, and uncovers the deeper story waiting to be told.

Drawing on over a decade of expertise in brand positioning, creative communications, and coaching, Saga offers a sharp perspective on what your brand communicates, where it wants to go, and what’s needed to activate its full potential.

Although deeply strategic, this is a psychic reading for your brand. Whether you’re building something new, refining an existing identity, or feeling stuck in a transition, a Brand Reading offers insight, alignment, and direction to move forward with clarity.

$333 and includes:

  • 1-hour recorded consultation

  • A 1-page distillation of the core outcomes

  • Strategic recommendations for how to direct your brand. This may include a proposal for how the Pythia Collaborative can meet your challenges, or developing a Collaborator Curation and matching your brand with the right talent to fulfill your needs (*included in the cost).
