Myriad
She is the pocket of time between inhale and exhale.
We dwell within her mystery, she dwells within our bones.

Embodying Human Design:
A Somatic Journey Into Your Soul’s Blueprint
A course for spiritual directors, facilitators, coaches, guides and creatives
7 Thursdays, January 22nd – March 5th , 2026
4-5:30 pm PT on Zoom w/ Marla Durden
Embodying Human Design: A Somatic Journey Into Your Soul’s Blueprint
A 7‑Week Journey into Clarity, Alignment, and the Wisdom of Your Soul
Your body is not just a vessel; it is the living map of your soul. Within it lies the compass that points you back to truth, alignment, and the unique design you were born to live.
This 7‑week journey is an invitation to move beyond simply knowing your Human Design chart and into the deeper work of embodying it. Through both your tropical and sidereal charts, the embodied wisdom practices of InterPlay, guided exploration, and integrative tools, you’ll learn to:
- Recognize and engage the energies of both your Soul (true sidereal); and Matrix (tropical) charts.
- Listen to the wisdom of your body as your most reliable guide.
- Release the conditioning that keeps you out of alignment.
- Make decisions with clarity and confidence, rooted in your design.
- Live, lead, and create from a place of authenticity and ease.
This is not about memorizing gates, types, or strategies. It’s about feeling your design in your bones, breathing it into your daily choices, and walking through the world as your most aligned self. This is an activation.
If your soul has been whispering that there is more… more ease, more clarity, more truth… this is your map. And your body is the key to unlocking it.
Your body is the compass, your soul the map.
By the end of this 7-week journey, you will:
- Understand your Type, Strategy, Authority, Centers, and Profile.
- Gain practical tools for decision-making, relationships, and leadership.
- Recognize and release conditioning patterns that keep you stuck.
- Embody your design in fun, creative, and spiritual ways.
- Walk away with a personalized blueprint for living your Human Design every day.

“Marla Durden is one of those people I could talk with for hours. From an early age she became aware of subtle energy and has been studying it ever since. From hands-on healing to dowsing to BioGeometry, she has accrued a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience. She teaches and leads groups and runs a psycho-spiritual mentoring practice in Seattle. She is also quite familiar with the mushroom spirits and we begin the first hour discussing her connection with those teachers, and Marla has a lot to say on that subject. The conversation weaves into the topic of BioGeometry, which is about creating an energetic field through geometry “on steroids” to quote Marla. In her work Marla has encountered entity possession and in the second hour I had her share her experience and knowledge on that subject. We also discuss magic, manifesting and the power of the mind, high frequency nutrition, Ormus, Rene Quinton’s sea plasma, and more. Marla is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom and this 2-hour conversation with her is time very well spent!”
