139. Kelsey Rose Tortorice: The Maia & Human Design

What is the maia through the lens of Human Design? How might we contextualize the 'no choice' concept in our embodied experiences? What is the projection field and how might we cultivate a relationship with it?Join Kelsey Rose Tortorice and me for a deep dive where we share field notes from our Human Design experimentation – as well as the first Human Design-focused episode on the podcast.Our conversation revolved around the idea of 'no choice,' the 5th line path of working with the projection field, the uniqueness of the manifestor aura and experience, as well as the role of Human Design and astrology in understanding the maia. We also discussed Kelsey's multifaceted journey experimenting with frequency through music, energy, astrology, and Human Design.Kelsey gave me my first Human Design reading back in 2021, which initiated a love affair with my BodyGraph and multiple descents down the HD rabbit hole. Since then, their work continued to inspire fresh and electric perspectives on how I interact with systems of reality. Here's Kelsey's bio:Kelsey is a post-capitalist astrologer, teacher, human design experiMentor, and community initiator. They are a student and teacher of the maia; seeking to understand and universalize the mechanics of reality within the context of individuality, cosmos, and consciousness as a whole. Their work facilitates upheaval; disrupting homogenized programming and re-orienting people to their differentiated truth and inherent wholeness.Heretic Haven, Kelsey's upcoming offering offered in collaboration with Allyson Forseth, will begin on Wednesday April 10th, 2024.
