Human Design Mandala Retreat - Spring Equinox
I love the Human Design Mandala - it is one of the most beautiful things to contemplate, study and become familiar with. So many patterns within patterns, so much to consider in terms of what Human Design really is describing.
Circles, wheels and mandalas are a central part of the human mapping of existence. Cyclical-thinking and experiencing is how we are designed. We inherently understand the turning of the seasons, the moon cycles, life stages.
For this spring's Human Design Retreat I am offering an exploration into the Rave Mandala and it's relationship to the larger cycles of which we are all a part.
I will be joined by James Alexander as co-host who will facilitate daily workshops.
You don't need to have any prior knowledge of the Mandala, you already know that a month is a moon cycle, a year is a sun cycle. I really think that considering the position of your planetary activations in the Mandala can give you a new dimension and understanding of Human Design.
As always on my retreats, there will also be plenty of time for rest, fresh air, nourishment, and nervous-system supportive practices like Yoga, Chi Kung, Meditation and Breath work, plus a few surprises.
If you feel called, I hope you can join us. Whatever a bodily ‘yes’ feels like to you, is the mechanism to trust. Take your time if you need. Act spontaneously if you are urged to do so.
Looking forward to sharing space with you.
With love.

Retreat co-host - James Alexander
I am very happy to announce that my good friend, mentor and colleague, James Alexander, will be joining us on the Spring Equinox Human Design Retreat to host several experiential workshops on the Rave Mandala and beyond.
In addition to the content that I will be facilitating, James will hold three two-hour workshops on various aspects of the system, as well as being available for all kinds of personal chart exploration.
My experience of James is that he is one of the clearest and deepest communicators in the field of Human Design. He has studied with the best and synthesised the knowledge very thoroughly. He sees layers of nuance and subtlety in your chart that very few people are even looking for. His uniqueness shines through in every interaction and he is deeper in the knowledge of the system than most!
This is the first time James is teaching in person outside of the USA, so it's an incredible opportunity to experience his frequency and teaching prowess on the European side of the pond.
James is a 5/1 Emotional Manifesting Generator on the LAX Demands. Find out more about him here… www.jamesalexandercoaching.com/about
What will we explore?
How the Human Design Rave Mandala is constructed from the Hexagrams of the I Ching.
Particular themes of the Quarters and how Quarters and Godheads may be impacting our psychology.
Positions of bodygraph activations around the Mandala - Do you have any 'clusters' and what might that mean?
Incarnation Cross Hexagrams and the relationship to the elements.
G Centre Gates and their relationship to the themes of the seasons.
How Profile is created by Line activations and how they come together psychologically.
And of course any other questions about Human Design as they arise organically.
What else will we do?
We will cosy up like little bugs sometimes. Other times we'll get outside for some fresh air, or gather round a table and study our Designs.
Each day we will be doing Group sessions on various aspects of Human Design and the Mandala in workshop format. As well as a discourse on the wider aspects of the system.
As always on my retreats there will also be...
Gentle Vinyasa Yoga to refine our ability to sense bio-feedback.
Guided Meditation to develop our ability to be with what is.
Chi Kung to release stuck energy patterns in the bodymind.
Yin Yoga & Yoga Nidra to deepen into restful presence.
Group circles to connect to each other and ourselves
Journalling, Tarot & Creative work to explore the subconscious mind
Nature Walks and Quiet/Private time because it's lovely
Recommended digital detox to reset our dopamine receptors
No experience is necessary - this retreat is equally suitable for complete beginners and experienced practitioners in any modality.
Human Design Study
We will get the coloured pencils out and workshop and explore the Mandala.
A fantastic opportunity to understand the wider cyclical context of your design.
Soul food
I believe food absorbs the energy of the person who is making it - for this reason everything will be prepared with deepest love and healing intention.
If you work with your Human Design PHS we will endeavour to support that.
A few surprises
I have all kinds of magic tricks up my sleeves, i'll probably get some of them out.
I also plan to invite some dear friends and colleagues to share their magic with you all.
Why I love the 'Healthy Home' venue
Gina is as obsessed with the energetics of wellness as I am. She has designed this incredible home to be a healing haven. There are crystals and angels holding the space in every corner. The walls are curved and soft. The decor is homey, cosy and welcoming.
Just being here, before we even ‘do’ anything, has a profoundly calming effect on bodymindspirit.
I have held retreats here before and I know it has the energetic capacity to hold space for the work we will do.
Also, Yorkshire.

If you have questions - I've guessed at a few below - or contact me to ask personally.
Questions?
'I can't arrive until Friday, or I have to leave on Sunday, is this OK?'
Sure, the perfect experience is yours to have - I can't discount the price for you, but you can come and go as you need to.
'I don't want to take part in everything, can I still come?'
Sure, I don't need you to be 'into' anything that I am sharing. You can participate in those parts or not, as you feel.
I want to come with friends, can you book us into a room together?
Sure, Just contact me and I'll see what is still available.
I want to come alone - is that OK?
Sure I'll room you with another solo traveller / new best friend.
I think you've got the gist by now - if you strongly feel the need to be here but aren't sure if it is possible, contact me and we'll try and make it work.
About the Transits
We have a really interesting set of transits. Pluto will have taken up its new position in Gate 41 in late January, so we will already be experiencing the pressure for new experiences, further compounded by Channel 35-36 which is on for much of the first quarter of the year.
Of course at Equinox we always have Gates 25 and 46 - love of the body and Universal love - active. Great energies for being on retreat, especially if you have 29 and 51 hanging as I do!
The keen eyed among you will notice that there are also a couple of conjunctions - Saturn conjunct the North node in 36 (Crisis, Darkening of the light) and Neptune and Venus conjunct the Sun in Gate 25. (Innocence, Universal love).
Mercury and Mars creat the Channel 17-62, Acceptance and Venus and Mercury are both retrograde, giving the perfect opportunity to reflect and revisit the themes of love, art, beauty and communication.
