A question for the room I’ve been sitting with whether to introduce a tool here that helped me understand how I make decisions and process life without forcing clarity or overriding my own timing. It’s called Human Design. Not as a belief system. Not as an identity label. Not as something to follow. More as a way of noticing where your yes actually comes from, and where you might be pushing yourself to decide from places that don’t feel natural. Before I share anything about it other than my basic profile, I want to ask: - Have you ever used a framework that helped you trust yourself more? - Or are tools like this something you’re curious about but cautious of? - What would make something like this feel supportive rather than overwhelming? You don’t need to know anything about Human Design to respond. You don’t need the right words. I’m listening.

Sanctuary is a contemplative teaching and community space. It IS NOT a crisis intervention or emergency support. If at any point you are feeling unsafe, overwhelmed, or in immediate danger, please reach out to professional resources designed to support you in real time. Seeking support is not a failure. It is an act of self-respect. 🇺🇸 United States – National Resources National Domestic Violence Hotline 📞 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) 💬 Text START to 88788 🌐 thehotline.org Available 24/7. Confidential.
