Threshold 🚪 Entering The New Paradigm Retreat January 2027
A 5-Day Human Design Retreat with Emma Shackleton. Bringing in a new era, together.
SOMA Estate, Byron Bay · January 17–21, 2027
Early Pricing until Friday, July 31
📣 Only 3 spots left.
In Human Design, 2027 marks our shift into a new paradigm, and the Human Design new year turns on January 22nd. This retreat runs the five days leading right into it.
Nearly every ancient wisdom tradition points to this moment as one of the great turnings in human history, and we're going to cross that threshold together.
This isn't Human Design basics. It isn't a business retreat. It's not like anything I've held before.
Over five days we're going to look at all of it: Human Design, Gene Keys, money, identity, success ... and ask the real questions:
👉🏻 How is each of these things changing as we move into the new paradigm?
👉🏻 And how do we carry them forward, brand new, into one of the most anticipated moments of change any of us will ever live through?
You won't leave with more information. You'll leave different... having actually stepped over the line into who you're becoming on the other side.
We're holding this at SOMA, the breathtaking estate in the Byron Bay hinterland where Nine Perfect Strangers was filmed, now owned by Lorna Jane.
Twenty-two acres of forest and sky, a geodesic dome for our ceremony and workshops, an infinity pool over the hills. The land does half the work before we even begin.
📣 There are only 3 spots left. If you're feeling the pull, trust it, you already know what happens when you listen.

FAQs:
✍🏻 Do I need to know much about Human Design? No. Whatever your level, you'll be met where you are. This retreat goes deep, but it's built to take you deeper from wherever you're starting, not to leave anyone behind.
✍🏻 I don't know my exact birth time, can I still come? Yes. If you're unsure of your birth time, we'll work with you to get as close to an accurate chart as possible before the retreat.
✍🏻 What about food and allergies? All meals are provided by a private chef creating healthy, delicious, nourishing food across the five days. After you book, you'll complete a short form for any food preferences or allergies. We take allergies seriously and our chef will make sure you're properly looked after.
✍🏻 I'm coming solo and feeling a little nervous… That's completely normal, and you're in good company, as most people arrive solo. By the end, you won't feel like a stranger. The room becomes a family fast.
✍🏻 Can I get a private room? Rooms are shared by default. If a private room is something you'd like, email Taylor at [email protected] and we'll let you know what's possible.

We strongly recommend taking out travel insurance to cover any unforeseen circumstances. By booking, you're confirming you've read and accepted these terms.
