The Living Mandala

Living Mandala Course

This has been two years in the making, and over a decade in the percolation.

My fascination with the Cosmic Living Mandala started when I was introduced to the character of Nataraj - Shiva's incarnation as Lord of the Dance - in my yoga teacher training.

Since then I have explored the Mandala through the lens of Shamanism and the Celtic wheel of the year - and then of course from the perspective of Human Design since 2021, when I started the transits podcast and began creating my own visual Wheels of the Year to aid the study of the system.

In 2025 I gave a 3 hour keynote & workshop at the Holistik Human Design Conference in Oslo on the Living Mandala. That content provides the backbone of this 12 hour+ online course, where I have so much more time to expand on all the themes I briefly touched on in that presentation. Most notably, I have gone DEEP on the godheads!

Someone asked me to do something like this 3 years ago and it is finally here - I present to you, what I have learned so far about the Mandala, observed about the relationships within the wheel, and seen how the gates are influenced by the chemistry of this living, breathing, turning, evolving conscious life story.

What does Living Mandala cover?

By the end of this course you will understand the gates of the Human Design system like never before. Hopefully you will also look at the world around you with increased awe and wonder!

First we look at the importance of understanding the Gates in the context of the Mandala - as well as in the context of the Bodygraph.

I breakdown the structure of the mandala - a circular map - to help understand something about relationality and the cyclical nature of existence.

Next is an exploration of the Basic Binary (Yin/Yang), the four Quarters, the 8 elemental Houses.

The biggest section is the 16 Faces of the Godhead. Over 8 hours of content exploring each Gate in the context of the Godhead conditioning and the chemistry. How does if affect our minds? What do we experience through these chemistries? Must we be forever bossed about by it!?

Then we consider Cycles - which celestial bodies have the most significant influence and what are the characters of these planetary influencers?

Finally I show you how to relate this information to your understanding of the Human Design Bodygraph.

What does it mean to have Saturn in the Thoth godhead? How does the chemistry of Valine affect the psyche? How does Strategy & Authority weaken the influence of these powerful forces? How are these forces being evolved by us?

Studying the mandala shows how the many forces at work have affected the course of our individual lives as well as the whole of human history and the evolution of human consciousness.

Come and join me for this epic adventure into the map of the Maia!

Mandala = Context

To fully understand the bodygraph we need to understand the mandala

Seeing the pure mathematical pattern of the Rave Mandala, the 1 that is also 2, 4, 8, 16, 64, 384 & more, helps us to understand the cyclical context of each of the 64 gates and their relationships to the story of life that we are all involved in living.

Godheads = Conditioning

How do the Gates get their conditioning imprint? From the Godhead!

What is conditioning generally?

What about Mandala-specific conditioning?

A closer look at Godhead conditioning through each of the 16 faces.

Planets = Cycles

We explore the programming influence of the planets and how they leave their mark on whatever they touch.

Discover layers of cycles and their role in the expansion of awareness. Connect to the planetary influences and see the flavour they bring to the imprints in your own design.

Live Group Classes in Feb/Mar 2027

As soon as you purchase the Course you will have access to all of the pre-recorded content to start self-studying the material.

I also offer Live calls to give some structure and accountability deadlines (which I personally really need, so maybe you do too). This gives you the chance to explore the topics in person in a group container with me and others, to encourage personal exploration for each of the godheads and other aspects of the wheel. We can share our personal stories and observations to enrich our understanding of the material.
