Ways to embrace surrender as a tool for transformation, inspired by the energy of Human Design Gate 60.

Let Gate 60’s energy inspire you to honor your own path with courage and curiosity.

The Spirit of Christmas Past: Transforming Shadows into Light

In this holiday-inspired episode, we journey with the Ghost of Christmas Past to uncover the hidden wisdom within our shadows. Drawing insights from Human Design Gates 26 and 11, we explore how the stories of our past shape the people we are today. Inspired by Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, Jung’s complex theory, and shamanic traditions of soul retrieval, we dive deep into themes of manipulation, obscurity, and the profound healing that comes from reclaiming integrity and light.
Join me as we reflect on how the shadows of Gate 26 teach us to align our ego with integrity, and how the obscurity of Gate 11 invites us to reignite our dreams. Through reflection prompts, practical exercises, and a soulful exploration of memory, we’ll uncover how your past is not a burden but a treasure chest of growth and transformation.

Cultivating Holiday Harmony: Mercury Retrograde Meets Gate 9 & Dinosaurs

Today, we’re diving into the rich and transformative energies of Human Design Gate 9, "The Gate of Focus," set against the backdrop of a Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius and the bustling energy of the holiday season. Together, these cosmic influences invite us to find clarity amidst chaos, embrace patience, and discover joy in the smallest moments—a much-needed gift during this time of year.
