Seven roles. Eight councils. One heart.
Our organizational structure is modeled on the chakra system and the geometry of the octahedron — a shape with six vertices, eight faces, and a center that connects them all. Each vertex holds a vital role. Each face is a working council. And at the center, the Heart connects everything.
No single function is "in charge." Like the chakra system, health depends on energy flowing freely through all seven.
Root Chakra · Muladhara
Base of spine
Holds the material foundation of Piko — responsible for finances, legal standing, physical assets, safety, and security. Anchored in the Operations Hub, the Guardian ensures every system is in order and every resource accounted for.
"The foundation. Keeps us grounded, secure, and materially sound."
Physical Space → The Operations Hub
Sacral Chakra · Svadhisthana
Below the navel
Tends the relational fabric of the community — cultivating partnerships, nourishing creative projects, and keeping energy in flow. Where the Guardian holds the ground, the Weaver holds the web of living connection.
"The creative force. Brings passion, flow, and relational warmth."
Physical Space → The Workshop
Solar Plexus Chakra · Manipura
Above the navel
The fire of Piko — coordinates day-to-day operations, tracks what's in motion, holds accountability, and ensures ideas actually land. The Commissary is the Steward's natural home: nourishment fuels the work, and the table is where momentum is built.
"The engine. Gets things done, holds accountability, keeps energy moving."
Physical Space → The Commissary
Throat Chakra · Vishuddha
Throat
Tends how Piko speaks — both internally and to the world. Manages communications, facilitates governance processes, shapes public presence, and ensures clarity and honesty in all expression.
"The articulator. Ensures clarity, facilitates dialogue, speaks truth outward."
Physical Space → The Studio
Third Eye Chakra · Ajna
Between the eyebrows
Reads the horizon — tracks emerging patterns, conducts research, builds strategy, and holds the long-range view. Where others act, the Seer watches, discerns, and maps what's coming before it arrives.
"The visionary. Reads patterns, anticipates what's coming, holds strategic clarity."
Physical Space → The Zen Garden
Crown Chakra · Sahasrara
Top of head
Guards the 'why' of Piko — ensures decisions stay true to the mission, keeps values front and center, and orients the whole system toward its deeper purpose. The compass needle of the community's soul.
"The guiding light. Holds the mission, the 'why,' and keeps us aligned with purpose."
Physical Space → The Guesthouse
Heart Chakra · Anahata · The Center
Center of chest
Alex Milewski — Founder
The connective center. Tends relationships between all roles, mediates conflict with care, holds the culture alive, and ensures the community's heart stays open. The only role without a single domain — the Bridge belongs to all of them.
"The center point. Connects all roles, mediates all councils, holds the space."
Physical Space → The Piko Temple

The eight standing councils are teams of three roles that collaborate on specific domains. Each council is one triangular face of the octahedron. The Bridge serves as on-call mediator for all.
Holds Piko's clarity of mission — aligns strategic direction with values, shapes how the community communicates its purpose publicly, and ensures the message reflects the mission.
The governance circle — designs and stewards decision-making processes, shapes meeting structures and policy, and ensures collective voice is heard and honored.
The imagination engine — holds long-range vision, senses what's emerging, and tends the creative frontier of what Piko could become.
Turns vision into reality — incubates new projects, allocates resources for emerging initiatives, and bridges the gap between dreaming and doing.
Keeps Piko honest and safe — tracks legal compliance, financial integrity, and makes the community's health visible through transparent reporting.
The operational pulse of daily life — coordinates workflows, facilitates internal communication, and keeps the day-to-day running smoothly.
Tends the deep reserves — financial health, long-term sustainability, and the wellbeing of members, so the community can sustain itself season after season.
Stewards the shared material world — physical infrastructure, communal spaces, shared tools, and the creative output that belongs to everyone.
Each axis represents complementary forces — not oppositions — kept alive through the Heart.
Keeper · Crown
Guardian · Root
Voice · Throat
Weaver · Sacral
Seer · Third Eye
Steward · Solar Plexus
Through the Heart, opposites become partners.
Every role matters. Every council needs energy. There's a place in this geometry for you.
