Relational Alignment Retreat
May 15 - 17, 2026
There are moments in your relationships where you are doing everything right.
You are communicating.
You are showing up.
You are trying to be patient, thoughtful, aware.
...And still, something doesn't land.
You leave conversations replaying what you said
and wondering how it got tense so quickly.
Is it you?
Is it them?
Or, is it something neither of you can quite name?
We know this feeling
And not from Reading a Book
We know this work intimately because we have spent years doing it. First in our own lives and then alongside hundreds of women.
Women who are thoughtful, self-aware,
and genuinely trying.
Women who have done the work and
still found themselves in the same place.
Women who are asking the same quiet question:
Why does this keep happening with
the people who matter most?
The answer is not that you need to try harder.
The answer is that you are missing a map.
We are Sandra and Shannon.
We built this retreat because we have lived this question ourselves.
Hi, I'm Sandra
I've always been a bit of a misfit. Naturally serious and intense, people feel my energy before I even open my mouth.
For years, that intensity meant I never understood my own impact. The same quality that made some people feel deeply seen, made others reach for words I would rather not repeat. I said things that came entirely from care but landed much harder. I would walk away from conversations replaying what happened and feeling like I'd touch a hot stove; flinching from the heat and pain.
What made it harder for me is that internally, I am actually someone who prefers quiet. Small circles. Deep trust built slowly. And yet, I kept finding myself in the middle of my own unintended wake, feeling attacked, pulling back, not knowing how to arrive differently.
When I learned my design, it felt like the skies suddenly parted and the Hallelujah Chorus started playing. It was a huge "AH HA" moment. Although nothing about me changed after (I am still exactly who I have always been - the serious, intense misfit), how I arrive in the moment has deeply shifted. Now that I understand my impact, I respond differently, and trust myself in ways I never had before.
That shift from confusion to clarity, from reaction to choice, is what this retreat is designed to give you.
As a Gestalt Professional Certified Coach and Women's Circle facilitator, I work with clients who are doing everything right and still not making the connections or impact they want. I know that place. I lived there for a long time.
Hi, I'm Shannon
I came to Human Design the way I come to most things that end up mattering: out of pure curiosity, with no real idea what I was walking into.
About four years ago I started learning about my own design simply because I wanted to understand myself better. What I found was something I had not been looking for. For the first time, the pieces of my life actually fit together. How my energy works. Why certain things feel natural while others quietly drain me. Why some relationships feel effortless and others feel like trying to speak a language no one taught me.
It felt like coming home to myself.
I could not keep it quiet. I started sharing what I was learning with friends, not as a teacher, just as someone who could not stop talking about something that was meaningfully changing things. The "oh my gosh, that's me" moments I kept witnessing pulled me deeper into the work. And, they still do.
Sandra and I found each other through this work, both of us equally obsessed. Together we began hosting workshops for women, and what we kept discovering is that understanding your design does not just change how you see yourself. It changes how you move through every relationship in your life. When you understand what you are actually bringing into a room, and why it lands the way it does, the struggle begins to make a different kind of sense.
You are not broken. You are built exactly as you are meant to be. This work simply helps you see it clearly; maybe for the first time.
Women's Relational Alignment Retreat
May 15 - 17, 2026
Most women who come to our retreats are not new to personal growth.
They've read the books.
They've done the work.
They know how to reflect.
And still, there is a gap between what they understand and what actually happens in real time, inside their most important relationships.
That gap does not close with more awareness.
It closes with a different kind of understanding entirely.
That is what we do during this retreat.
We’ve rented this 5 bedroom house in LaGrange. Our weekend begins Friday evening at 6pm and closes 10am Sunday. Participation is limited to 6-10 ladies so it's intentionally intimate, relaxed and highly relational.
Through the lens of Human Design, this weekend is built around understanding your specific relationship dynamics in a new and grounded way.
You will gain an understanding of:
how you are energetically wired
how you make decisions
how you use your energy
how you move through the world
Not as a theory you carry home and try to apply later, but as something you will recognize in yourself while you are still in the room.
That is when the second-guessing begins to quiet.
You will also explore the design of someone important in your life and begin to see where connection flows naturally between you, and where friction is not a personal failing but an expected meeting point between two different designs.
That single shift, from feeling it personally to understanding it structurally, can soften something that has felt impossible for years.
We have watched it happen in a single afternoon.
And you will leave with grounded, practical tools for the real moments: the hard conversations, the differences that don't resolve, the places where you tend to lose yourself.
Not a formula.
Not for the "typical" relationship
A specific way of showing up that is entirely yours.
What you will carry home
A deeper trust in yourself.
Relief from the constant replay of what you said, what you meant, what went wrong.
A clearer understanding of why certain relationships feel easy and why others take everything you have.
And a path forward that does not ask you to be someone you are not.
