Integration & Real Life Application
Apply Human Design practically into your life
Facilitated by Hillary, Human Design Teacher and Intuitive
Human Design is a powerful modality to understand yourself, how you best operate and create a life on your terms. Hillary found Human Design in 2016 when she was working as a lawyer and it gave her clarity to let go a career that was leaving her unfulfilled and burnt out. She moved to Europe and studied Human Design in London, and has dedicated her time since then to teaching and sharing the practice all over the world to help others understand themselves deeply at a fundamental core level. From this self understanding breeds self acceptance to self love. When you understand how YOU work, then you can create a life of ease and satisfaction, rather than swimming up the stream of resistance & struggle. Hillary’s mission is to change the way you see yourself and your perspective of the world, for a happier and more fulfilled life. All this beautiful information is only as valuable as you are able to integrate and apply PRACTICALLY in your life. This is what we will do on Retreat - use this awareness to transform how you live.
During this retreat, you will learn how to practically embody your Human Design

She is pure light and brings you up with her. I am grateful to have experienced the magic she creates"

"Hillary is a wealth of knowledge and applies Human Design practically and realistically. She breaks it down so it is achievable and I saw change instantly in my perspective and outlook. She has a gift of reframing and changing the way you see yourself and reality. She helps you apply HD so that it jumps from theory to way of being. Thank you Hillary, your program was a godsend. "

Vedic Meditation, with Teacher Laura Poole
Laura has become such a gift to my life because she taught me the practice that changed it all. I was feeling overwhelmed, stressed, lacking energy and could never hold down a meditation practice. I always thought I was “bad” at meditating and couldn’t do it. Then, I met Laura and Vedic meditation. Since that time, I have had a consistent and reliable practice that grounds me, calms, opens my heart and intuition. My business, relationships & life has propelled since.
Laura supports you in such a kind, loving and knowledgable way. She not only teaches you the practice, but supports you with a lifetime membership to her Mahasoma Community. For over 15 years, she has been practicing, studying and teaching within the Vedic wisdom tradition - a 5000 year old body of knowledge on how to live a full and expansive life.
Vedic meditation is an effortless transcending technique, that is perfect for those who struggle with overthinking & stress. Experience profound rest, release deep stress, and rediscover a more present, calm, and creative you.
Her course is valued at 880 dollars but will be included in your package.
NB: You can choose to opt in or opt out.
