This experiential workshop explores the grief process inherent - but often invisible - in deconditioning. Human Design often helps people recognize what is not-self, conditioned, inherited, or survival-based. But recognizing a pattern is not the same as being ready to release it. Many conditioned selves formed for important reasons: to belong, stay safe, be loved, avoid rejection, carry family roles, or survive environments that could not fully welcome and honor our true selves. This offering also places personal deconditioning inside a larger collective transition. As Human Design points toward the movement from the Cross of Planning into the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix, many people are sensing the grief of leaving an old era, even when they know they are ready to leave it. The structures, agreements, communities, roles, and identities that once organized belonging may no longer hold in the same way. That shift can bring relief, but also disorientation, tenderness, and grief. In this workshop, participants will use Human Design as a compassionate map for exploring the identities, roles, strategies, and adaptations they have outgrown. Through gentle somatic practice, guided reflection, journaling, parts-informed inquiry, and optional partner or small-group sharing, participants will be invited to notice what they are ready to release, what still needs honoring, and what grief may arise when an old self no longer has to lead. The workshop will include grounding practices, nervous system pacing, reflection on Type, Strategy, Authority, Centers, and conditioning, releasing rituals, and integration practices for returning to the body. This is not a therapeutic processing group, but a trauma-informed experiential space for engaging the emotional terrain of deconditioning with care, consent, and embodied awareness.

Many accomplished professionals are excellent at what they do, yet they don't feel fully expressed in their work. As a former corporate lawyer, I know how it feels to be outwardly successful while feeling deeply unfulfilled. If you're in this place, it's perfectly normal not to know what to do next and to have more questions than answers. This 90-minute workshop will be part teaching, part reflection, and part space to become more closely attuned to what may be changing within you. We'll use Jupiter's transit through Leo, and the six Human Design gates that are associated with Leo season, as a framework for exploring career fulfillment through storytelling, leadership, direction, reflection, doubt, and aligned commitment. You'll leave with a deeper connection to the part of yourself that wants to play a bigger role in your work, along with one meaningful next step that you'll be excited to explore.

Explore the depths of your Human Design through the free-associative writing practices developed by Genoa Bliven. In a safe and supportive environment, we will hear the voice of your Human Design Authority. This session is open to every level of study, from those just meeting their chart to those who have lived with it for years. Please bring two printed copies of your chart, a notebook, and two pens.

When I first discovered Human Design, I wanted to understand my chart. Over time, I realised the real invitation wasn't simply to know myself more. It was to recognise myself more often.

Human Design offers us a map, but living our design happens in the middle of ordinary life. It unfolds through conversations, relationships, parenting, work, grief, joy, uncertainty and all the moments in between.

In this experiential workshop, we'll practise recognition and awareness together. Through reflection, facilitated conversation and gentle experiential exercises, we'll become curious about what it means to notice ourselves in real time, and how the awareness we bring to the experiment can deepen it. Together, we'll explore a practice of observation, discernment and recognition that participants can continue long after the workshop has ended.

This session is for those who already have a relationship with Human Design and have discovered that understanding their chart is only the beginning. Whether you are a practitioner supporting others or someone quietly living your own experiment, this workshop is an invitation to become curious about the space between knowing your design and recognising yourself in the midst of everyday life.

An art workshop focused on the 8 Trigrams

In a group setting, we'll explore how to use essential oils to develop somatic awareness, how to acknowledge and honor emotions and how to move the emotional energy with somatic practices, breathwork and essential oil support.

90-Minute Workshop — Fear Detox Introduction This version of the Fear Detox workshop introduces participants to a framework for understanding and beginning to transmute fear — exploring fear's goals, how fear shows up, and what coping strategies and embodiment tools can bring loving care to the transmutation process. Drawing on Human Design, Parts Work (IFS), and embodiment tools, participants can practice noticing and naming fear's presence and begin exploring the internal parts that carry it. The session is structured around gentle curiosity and includes brief somatic practices for sitting with activated inner places rather than moving past them. 3-Hour Workshop — Fear Detox Full Immersion This version of the Fear Detox workshop covers the same material as the introduction above. The additional time allows for deeper container work — including the Window of Tolerance — extended practice with embodiment tools, and space to creatively art with their internal world. This workshop can be attended as a standalone or as a continuation following the 90-minute Fear Detox introduction. ____ A wise teacher once reminded me that a "hot potato" doesn't stay hot forever. And yet — so much of what we do with fear is just that: hot potato. Pass it, avoid it, cope it away. The work I'm lit up to engage with is about learning to hold it a little longer, and finding out what's actually inside.

I always prefer to hold space for the experiment rather then teach the material. So my facilitation is a hybrid of both- giving a structure, providing the intellectual container, and experimenting within it. I am a 3/6 after all.

This workshop explores how the 3rd‑line and 6th‑line themes in Human Design show up in everyday life and in the gates. We look at how people naturally learn through experimentation and trial‑and‑error (3rd line), and how those with 6th‑line energy begin life in a similar experimental phase before moving into perspective and, later, integration. These developmental patterns are universal and relevant to everyone, whether or not they have 3rd or 6th lines in their chart. Participants will learn practical ways to recognize when they are in a learning phase that feels messy or experimental, when they are shifting into a more observational or reflective phase, and how to meet both with more self‑compassion. We will briefly reference the South Node and North Node as a general framework for growth, without going into technical detail. The focus is on understanding one's own process and reducing self‑judgment. The session includes short teaching segments, guided reflection, small‑group discussion, and a simple embodiment practice.

What if your Human Design chart wasn't just something you read? What if it became something you could see, feel, explore, and create? In this hands-on workshop, you'll be introduced to the EmbodieHD Landscape Human Design Deck, an illustrated exploration of the 64 Gates created to help you experience Human Design in a more intuitive, visual, and embodied way. Rather than memorizing keywords or trying to decode your chart, we'll begin with the four placements that create the foundation of your unique landscape: your Personality Sun, Personality Earth, Design Sun, and Design Earth. Together we'll explore the role these four Gates play in your life and discover the seeds (your gifts), the weeds (the challenges that help you grow), and contemplative questions that invite you into deeper self-understanding. Each card is more than information. It's an artistic transmission inspired by the lived experience of people who carry these energies, translating Human Design into imagery and embodied language that speaks to both the mind and the heart. You'll also receive a blank Human Design bodygraph to transform into your own piece of art. Using the cards as inspiration or allowing your own intuition to guide you to create an embodied map of your design through color, symbols, flowers, words, or whatever wants to emerge. No artistic experience is necessary. This isn't about making beautiful art. It's about creating a deeper relationship with yourself. Whether you're just starting out with Human Design or have been studying it for years, you'll leave with a fresh way of exploring your chart, a personalized piece of artwork, and a deeper appreciation for the landscape that has been living within you all along. Come ready to play. Come ready to create. Come ready to recognize yourself in a whole new way.

90-minute interactive session. We'll move between short framing moments, small-group conversation, and whole-group reflection. I'll offer some chart examples (projected or printed), and participants will need access to: - Their birth chart - Their Uranus Opposition chart - Composite chart Charts can be accessed on phones or printed ahead of time. If possible, it would be helpful for participants to receive instructions in advance on how to generate their Uranus Opposition chart so they arrive prepared. I can possibly bring a small printer if needed. A whiteboard or flip chart would be helpful for harvesting themes. This session explores the Uranus Opposition within Human Design as a lived phase of life, exploring this midlife transition. We'll briefly orient to what shifts in the Uranus Opposition chart and composite chart. Then the focus will move toward observation and shared reflection. Participants will: - Compare elements of their birth and Uranus Opposition charts - Review the South to North Nodes shift - Notice the layers of Profile, Incarnation Cross, or Center dynamics - Reflect on where they feel recalibration, restlessness, or release - Share observations in small groups and as a whole The session is responsive to what emerges in the room. Rather than deep technical analysis, the emphasis is on noticing patterns, naming lived experience, and exploring this life phase in community.

I explain the principles of a process called HeartThread, which releases old patterns and conditioning and replaces them with positive life affirming statements when spoken. I demonstrate how it works and then we break up into partners who take turns to practice the process on each other, then switch roles. In the second part I share information and demonstrate the use of the Emotion Code for releasing trapped emotions from the body/mind (subconscious mind). I teach how to muscle test to get yes or no answers and again shift to alternating partner sessions. Alternately, I release trapped emotions for the participants. Depending on time, I can also demonstrate the Body Code to address deeper issues or physical ailments. If this seems to be too much of a package, We can offer the two parts as stand alone 90 Minute sessions

This session introduces The Convergence Window, a three-phase framework that I developed for understanding the necessary phases of alchemy, disruption and recalibration that arise on the path of actually embodying our design, truth and purpose in the world. This is not the typical Human Design "informational" talk, but is meant to be a support in the ongoing embodiment of it, for those already in some relationship with their design and ongoing experiment. As we begin to live more into our design (and what I call our own "Imaginal Intelligence"), the greater quantum intelligence of life responds. Old structures, stories, relationships, unconscious nervous system patterns, and identities that no longer fit begin to be challenged and exposed. It's messy and people often interpret it as failure - it is not failure, but an essential recalibration. This session offers a map for understanding that experience — one that works on the conscious, nervous system, and energetic levels — reframing what can feel like breakdown as intelligent realignment. Through a blend of teaching, reflection and embodied practice, participants will develop greater capacity to recognize which phase of the convergence window framework they are in, resource and regulate themselves through periods of disruption rather than bypassing or collapsing, and find deeper meaning and purpose in the unfolding. Participants have the opportunity to leave with a shift in perspective that transforms how they relate to the messier, less linear aspects of living into their design — and a felt sense of trust in the larger, loving intelligence guiding the process.

Breathe the Bodygraph is a guided conscious connected breathwork session that uses continuous breath to release stored tension and integrate the bodygraph somatically. Lying down, supported by a custom-built soundscape and verbal guidance, participants breathe in a connected pattern (no pause between inhale and exhale) for 45 minutes. As the breath builds, and the mind gives way to the body's wisdom, attention moves through the centers, giving each one space to be felt in the body rather than understood conceptually. This is a physical practice that uses breath to shift the nervous system and create room for whatever wants to move.

Advanced students, but can be adapted.

I am offering a Projector only space during the designated hours. This is a space where we can connect online during the conference, a space to share one's experience with another projector while at the conference. We can talk, we can look at your chart, we can be quiet and just breathe together. It all depends on who shows up and what is happening and what is needed.

Projectors only. Welcome at whatever level of experience you embody.

This session is an experiential exploration of the relationship between Self and Other as a practical way of engaging the Human Design experiment. Through guided presentation, discussion, individual reflection, and group exercises, participants will explore how the distinction between Self and Other relates to the Human Design concepts of Self and Not-Self. Participants will investigate how thoughts, emotions, beliefs, identities, conditioning, relationships, and life experiences can shift from being unconsciously identified with (Self) to becoming consciously observable (Other). The session provides practical opportunities to recognize these shifts and to explore how increased awareness supports one's ongoing Human Design experiment. The workshop is designed as an inquiry rather than a presentation of conclusions. Participants leave with a practical framework for continued observation and exploration of Self, Other, Self, and Not-Self in everyday life.

The Human Design system is a map of how the human body is aligned to celestial bodies (the sun, planets, and asteroids). Sounds like astrology, right? Well, partially. Human Design is a unique system because can do something different than astrology — it also gives these alignments to plants, animals, and inanimate objects. That means, one could potentially draw up a BodyGraph for anything — from a chicken to a crystal! Within your own Design, you might find you are part plant, part fish, part ameba, etc., You are 'other-than-human' *and* a Human-being with 9-centered complexity. And it goes even further. At the most subtle level of HD, the individual will also discover his or her relation to the unseen (or-not-so-often-seen) world — i.e., the paranormal and the supernatural! Everything from angels and demons, to aliens and entities, are filtered through the mechanics of our unique experience at the level of personality color. Could encounters with these spirits be a sign of mental delusion? Or a sign of heightened awareness? Human Design shows us that more likely, these beings exists within the perception our unique configuration that allow us 'see' the other-than-human aspects of life that already exist within ourselves. [*That is to say, this is not be a practice of 'summoning' or 'channeling' anything. We will use fully human metaphorical language of 'alienated' parts, 'ghosts that haunt us,' 'facing our inner demons' etc. that will reveal themselves to us naturally as we slow down and trust.] In this workshop we will not just sit, lecture, and talk about these phenomena, but explore and experiment with our relations to their potentials through our own embodiment. Facilitators will guide participants in the exploration of 'other-than-human' elements in their design, through an embodiment practice called SPT (Social Prescening Theater) and relationship to animate and mystical beings. We will embody the field through mediation, dance, individual sculptures, duets, a co-created 'village,' an exploratory walk, and small group breakouts. This workshop is open to participants at all levels. Come with an open imagination to explore the possibilities.

Your Human Design chart shows you how you're designed to move through the world. Your astrocartography map shows you where that design gets to breathe. In this talk, we bring those two systems together - exploring how your key planetary lines interact with your gates, channels, and incarnation cross to show the geography of your life. Whether you're considering a move, planning travel, or just curious why certain places have always felt more alive than others, this is a conversation about the deeper intelligence underneath that pull. Jackson and Alison of ELA Map (Your Energy Location Atlas) guide you through the intersection of your energetic blueprint and your place on Earth. Come ready to look at your chart and your map in the same breath. Bringing a laptop is recommended if you have one, but not required.

In this workshop, I will guide participants through the shifts that we see in our kids, in our families, and in our communities. I will highlight what our kids needs from us today, as it compares to perhaps the way we were parented. We will discuss why our kids so desperately need us to 1) be regulated, 2) see them for the unique gifts they hold, and 3) respond with love to their deep, human needs. We'll immerse ourselves in a guided Emotional Freedom Technique experience to release generational stories that are holding us back from the parents, caregivers that our soul knows we're here to be. I will bring to this workshop my knowledge and experience with Human Design, Quantum Human Design, the Emotional Freedom Technique, and Developmental Psychology.

Opening Ceremony · The Spiral of Everything Brandy Jordan, Steward We open the gathering by naming where we are. This year HDHD lives inside The Spiral of Everything, a map for locating what is active in your life right now and finding the work that meets you there. In this opening, Brandy welcomes the field into its sixth-line season and walks everyone into the architecture that holds the days ahead. You will leave knowing where you stand in your own process and how the rest of the gathering is built to support it. uman Design 101 · What This System Actually Is Brandy Jordan A clear, welcoming entry into Human Design and its parts. We move through type, strategy, authority, and the nine centers, and we keep returning to the body as the place where design is lived. This session is built for the newcomer who wants a real foundation, and for the longtime reader.

"How do we know what we know?" This is what Warm Data makes us question. "How does life 'life' and how does life learn?" You learn by being a human. This is a chance to feel what that feels like. Based on the success of our experimental Warm Data Lab at HDHD2025 (https://dub.sh/hdhd2025-hd-meets-wd-summary), and the distinct effect such a profound experience can create for participants, no matter what their design, we would love to propose that we animate the opening ceremony for HDHD2026 with a Warm Data Lab. Quite simply, we envision a potent multi-contextual ice-breaker that can help attendees discover areas of complexity in their lives in which they find more of themselves and each other and how they might show up differently in an ever increasingly complex world. This is a chance to experience a 'Wa' and a 'Penta' without thinking about it. You're experience with others in large and small groups will be a reference throughout the entire conference where we come together in several combinations of collectives. The "Warm" Data is all the information about our life story that never gets a place to be seen, heard or felt.

Join your MC, Sunny Venusian, for a chance to see and be seen with the HDHD community.

This is an open meeting to all designs to connect and share experiences with the primary focus on the intersection of addiction recovery models and the Human Design Deconditioning journey. My interest is to host a sharing circle in which participants can join regardless of level of knowledge and years in the journey, only the common goal: the desire to stop taking not-self decisions. The structure of this meeting will resemble a 'speaker meeting' in which myself will open with general information and a personal share of my experience and strength derived from deconditioning, then follow with open sharing time for participants. I will emphasize the importance of no interruptions, cross-talk or advice, and limiting the time of sharing. This is to create a space in which participants can be seen, heard and express their honest truth with each other. My goal with this meeting is to encourage the nourishment of honest connection and relate with others that resonate with the topic.

Leadership matures through thresholds. Throughout human history, communities recognized that growth into deeper authority and responsibility required initiation. These passages marked the transition into new seasons of life and leadership. Modern culture rarely names these thresholds, yet many conscious leaders feel them as moments of disruption, challenge, or profound change. This five-hour workshop explores the feminine thresholds of leadership through the lens of Quantum Human Design. Participants will examine the archetypal seasons of maturity—Maiden, Mother, and Crone—as movements of consciousness that shape how leaders develop clarity, influence, and purpose over time. These seasons are not defined by gender or biology but represent universal phases of growth and stewardship. The workshop also explores how inherited narratives and conditioning influence leadership identity. By learning to decode the stories that shaped them and consciously recode the stories they choose to live forward, participants will gain practical tools to align their leadership with their authentic design and deeper purpose.

This three-hour workshop explores Pluto's movement through the gates of the Rave Mandala as a generational and collective marker at the threshold of 2027. Rather than treating the end of the Pluto Interregnum as a simple ending, this workshop approaches it as the beginning of a new cycle. Even as Pluto enters a new phase, the generations already alive on the planet continue to carry the pre-2027 Pluto gates and lines. Those signatures remain embodied in us, active in the collective, and socially consequential well into the future. The workshop will invite participants to experience this directly by creating a living social mandala in the room. Participants will be organized spatially according to their Pluto gate, allowing the group itself to become a real-time portrait of Pluto's movement through the Rave Mandala. From there, we will explore several interconnected layers of meaning: Pluto by gate as generational signature, Pluto by quarter as a larger season of collective purpose, Pluto by center as an emphasis in the collective bodygraph, and Pluto by intergenerational relationship as a living relay between cohorts. A central focus will be the current handoff between the Quarter of Duality and the Quarter of Mutation. Most participants alive today will carry Pluto in one of these two quarters. This creates a profound opportunity to explore the relay between bonding and transformation, between elder wisdom and mutational adaptation, and between the generations that still carry the outgoing frequencies of the current cycle and those who will prepare the way for what comes next. Blending Human Design, collective astrology, historical pattern recognition, and facilitated dialogue, this workshop asks participants to see their Pluto placement not only as a personal detail in their design, but as part of a much larger collective soul process.

This session offers a Vedic astrological perspective on the current global transition period, exploring how planetary cycles reflect shifts in identity, perception, and systems at both individual and collective levels.

Topics covered include the Rahu-Ketu nodal axis transit, representing karmic reorientation and the dissolution of ego-based identity structures to allow new patterns of collective alignment to emerge; the Saturn-Neptune conjunction and its effect on belief systems and inner narratives as they shift; and Pluto in Aquarius as a deep transformation of collective power systems. Together these influences describe a process of systemic reorganization under karmic pressure.

The session includes an experiential component rooted in ancient Vedic practices of mental stabilization through breath awareness and mantra recitation, to support clarity and emotional integration during these intense transits.

For those interested in upcoming collective timeline changes.

An exploration of consciousness through the lens of Human Design. I will break down the theoretical "science of differentiation" via neutrino physics and the crystals of consciousness. We will explore the relationship between macro and micro, unpacking some of the fractal patterns (eg rave mandala and codon wheel) that permeate the Program. And we'll dive into substructure to explore the ultimate meaning of our self-reflected consciousness. I will draw on a lot of material from my upcoming book, "The Language of the Stars".

Maggie Battista works at the intersection of soul philosophy, ancestral wisdom, and sacred practice, where your Soul becomes your bridge to the field, your ancestors speak, and you emerge into the fullness of who you came here to be. She has been living the Human Design experiment for 12+ years.

In this Sacred Soul Circle, Maggie will open the field and attune the circle to the land and the ancestral lineage of all those present, honoring the earth beneath our feet and the ones who came before us, whose wisdom is available to us still.

From that grounded, open space, Maggie will share her own story of how living her Human Design experiment guided her to her Soul's work, and how it gave her permission to be all of herself. It is a story of following what is true over what is expected, and of the ancestors who walked beside her every step of the way.

This circle is designed to integrate all that has unfolded over the conference, allowing the insights, activations, and connections of recent days to settle into your body and your Soul before you return home.

The circle includes a guided 15-minute journey into the astral, a sacred descent to hear your Soul's voice, receive the presence of an ancestor, and return with clarity on your next step.

This is not a panel or a presentation. It is a living transmission, an experience of what becomes possible when you stop performing your design and start following your Soul.

What to Expect

In our time together, you will:

• Experience an attunement to the land and the ancestral lineage of all those present
• Hear Maggie's story of how Human Design and Soul wisdom converged into her life's work
• Integrate and settle all that the conference has stirred before you return home
• Journey into the astral in a guided meditation to hear your Soul's voice and receive guidance from an ancestor
• Return with clarity on one Soul-directed next step

What to Bring

Come with an open heart and one intention you'd like to offer your Soul. A journal is welcome.

Practicing for the 6th Line era the Earth enters in 2027, we will play in two roles. In the role of a Fan, we will look at the Players' charts and comment out loud to celebrate how beautifully, during the ongoing play, the Players are living their designs. In the role of Player, we will, together, improvise movements and scenes, sometimes incorporating the commentary of Fans into our play. Practicing 6th Line loving integration, we will playfully hold the paradox of, on the one hand, externalizing embodiment (Line 2) and, on the other, internalizing experiment (Line 3). No prior experience necessary. Wear clothes you are comfortable moving in.

RSVP with birth data is required. 14 participants maximum. RSVP here.

A three-hour experiential workshop, not a lecture. Early in the session, each participant writes a single word or short phrase on paper, something already alive in them, a fragment of memory, knowledge, or experience. Those fragments become the raw material for the rest of the workshop. Through small group and whole group exercises involving movement, rhythm, and collective sound or song-making, we work with what surfaces when individual fragments meet each other in the room. The inspiration comes from Kathy's own chart, Gate 64, the gate of confusion before clarity, where old images and memories surface without immediate resolution, and from Kabbalistic teaching on the gathering of scattered light.

Open to all experience levels, no Human Design or Kabbalah background needed. This is for people willing to actively participate rather than sit and observe. There's no required skill in movement, music, or writing. What's required is a willingness to bring a fragment of your own knowing into the room and trust what happens when it meets everyone else's. Not recommended for anyone wanting a seated, information-based session.

This offering identifies the practical awareness tools hidden in the current global cycle, especially around money, work, value, contracts, agreements, and responsibility. These themes act like keys within specific locks, helping us understand how to live more fully as ourselves and make cleaner decisions according to our design. This is about using the lessons of this closing cycle as a path of least resistance into the future.

Open to all levels.
