Choose Your Trail
Every journey begins with a single step… or the turn of a card.
Whether you’re a lone prospector, a wandering pioneer, or leading a whole ranch crew, there’s a path waiting for you.
A time before the rush, the noise, and the pressure. A space for reflection, imagination, and insight. Choose from two memberships, both designed for individual use, coaching, and small group work - with an organisational option arriving soon for teams and larger communities ready to step into this experience together.
Please note: All of our products are DIGITAL downloads, no physical products will be shipped.

Absolutely. The trail keeps growing. Expansion packs, Immersion Experiences, Story Seeds, prompts, tools, and reflective practices will be added regularly - especially in the Private Reserve. It’s a living, breathing world we’re building together.
Great news - you can upgrade at any time! For folks who already have Saloon Backroom or Prospectors' Cabin (early-bird members) access, we offer add-on membership to the Private Reserve.
This is a monthly subscription with no extra upfront cost, perfect if you’re ready to keep walking the trail a little further.
That one-time £29.99 fee unlocks the full Founders Collection - a rich set of 7 digital card decks and essential resources that form the heart of your journey.
It’s your gateway into the world of 1871: A Time Before, and ensures that every member, no matter where they start, begins with the same compass and map in hand.
After that, your monthly subscription fee of £10 keeps you connected to the exclusive extras, new releases, and evolving paths found in the Private Reserve Members area.
If you’ve already purchased the Founders Collection and gained lifetime access to the Saloon Backroom or Prospectors Cabin (early-bird members), the add-on subscription is your key to unlocking more of SageBrush Crossing.
The Private Reserve add-on (£10/month) opens the doors to extra monthly resources, exclusive character insights, creative prompts, and bonus materials to deepen your reflection and practice. And that's not all - you'll get access to advanced resources, themed expansions, behind-the-scenes content, and early access to new releases, and all expansion packs for free. It’s for those who want to journey even further.
No need to pay for the Founders Collection again - upgrade, and keep walking the trail.
There’s a whole frontier still to explore!
We’re already mapping out a series of themed expansion packs and mini-packs to add fresh stories, deeper insights, and new layers of reflection to your journey through 1871: A Time Before.
Every pack will be carefully created to stay true to the heart of SageBrush Crossing: slow, soulful reflection with a touch of frontier magic. These include:
Myth & Magic Pack: Folklore, symbols, and the mystical woven into SageBrush’s dusty paths.
Pilgrimage Pack: For times of transition, soul-searching, and purpose-seeking.
Travelling Through Series: Guided by global philosophies like Ikigai, Ubuntu, and more.
The Shadows of 1871: A deeper dive into hidden truths, uncomfortable questions, and the parts we often leave unspoken.
Generations Pack: Exploring legacy, ancestry, and the stories we carry (or choose to release).
Forgotten Stories Pack: Unearthing overlooked voices, silenced tales, and quiet wisdom from the edges.
And this is just for starters. A new expansion pack (or mini-pack) will be released every month - available to purchase individually- or included free with the Private Reserve membership.
Q: Can I buy multiple individual memberships for my team or group?
Yes - and there are generous discounts if you do!
Whether you're a coach, educator, or leader supporting a team or peer group, you're welcome to buy multiple individual memberships. Each person gets their own access, making it ideal for coaching circles, learning cohorts, or small teams who want to reflect together while exploring at their own pace.
Here’s how the group discount works:
If you’d like to buy in bulk, just drop us a message and we’ll get you set up with a custom code.
Sure can. You’re free to leave anytime - but we sure hope you’ll stay awhile. Just remember: once you cancel, you’ll lose access to the deeper content unless you resubscribe.
