Our spotlight episodes focus on core design concepts.  If you are new to Human Design, these can offer insights into the foundation of the system.  And if you are more experienced or have gotten lost in the details, these are reminders of what is simple and essential.

In this Episode, we revisit Inner Authority through lived experience and practical inquiry. Through real-life examples and our discoveries, we explore the nuances of decision-making. We also consider the influence of transits, relational conditioning, and the gradual development of clarity. Ultimately, mastering Inner authority is a personal discovery process that can lead us to recognition, embodiment, and natural alignment.
