“It often feels like we're not quite sure what things or relationships are best for us. And when we experience negative emotions, we start to wonder if the problem is really with us.”
You know when you're feeling really confused and full of self-doubt? Sometimes you wish that life came with an instruction manual to guide you through it all.
“Human Design” offers insights into a person’s traits and characteristics, guiding people to understand more about themselves.
During the start of summer, gather with the community in the north coast of Taiwan, while exploring peace in nature and immerse in the lush greenery and shimmering waves, we’ll discuss Human Design through different practices.
Gently open up the five senses and perfectly welcome the time of self-exploration in the afternoon. Using the Human Design System as a map, let us rediscover the power of self, and rebuild our relationship with ourselves.
At the end of the day, we will stroll on the warm sandy beach with the silky waves, letting the light of the sunset flow naturally with our breath and body, refreshing our body and mind. And Lastly, bring this beauty back to our daily lives.

Human Design Exploration Instructor : Viola
On this journey, Viola will use two main themes from Human Design: "Life Role" and "Energy Center - Emotional Center" to help us get to know ourselves better. By understanding different life roles, we can understand how we interact with the world. Then, by getting to know our own emotional center, we can understand how our emotions operate and resolve our own inner conflicts.
Viola believes that every person has our own value. By releasing the pressure of conforming to social norms and embracing our individuality, everyone has the potential to actually make an impact.
Viola worked in corporate training for 12 years and began her journey of self-awareness through Human Design in 2013. For nearly 10 years, she has always been passionate about inspiring others, helping people recognize their most authentic selves and guiding them towards a path of transformation.
