Hi there! A challenge I've been meaning to address for a while has now been addressed. Over the years, so many of you have written to me after reading This Human or Design Character, with encouraging comments and great questions about a chapter, a stuck point you were sitting with, or sometimes just wanting to talk it through the way we might in a session. I couldn't always be there for every question and conversation. So we built something that could be, in an AI kind of way. One of my colleagues responded, "Oh no Melis, not you too." I really get it, especially because of what this human champions. I haven't really reconciled it yet, am still conflicted and I'm also excited. I've always leant into the unknown, and am so willing to learn together. Does the benefit out weigh the costs? I really really don't know. What we've built is a companion to the books. It's like an interactive version of the books I guess. There's a chat interface that points you back to the exact passage or exercise that fits what you're working through. There are three tiers, the first tier helps you find what you're looking for with references and connected exercises. The other two tiers get increasingly more helpful. A few things about it:
You can try it for free here, no card required. If you've read either book, I hope this feels like more of the conversation we were already having. Chat soon, Melis 🌻 |

Thank you to Ben McEwing who's been the curator of this for the last year or so. For...
"When we honour an ending, the connection deepens, even as it dissolves." Endings are everywhere right now. This past fortnight, I (Ben) have moved through many; the completion of my master’s degree, the close of a group process I co-facilitated, the final moments of a retreat, and the end of the calendar year itself. Each one held an invitation: Be here for this. In this week’s article, I reflect on the power of endings and what happens when we actually give them our presence. Because when...
"What am I wanting from this relationship that I’m not getting...and is this the place to be getting it?" Sometimes, the tension in a work relationship isn’t about the work at all. It’s about the roles we’re unconsciously playing. In this week’s article, Ben reflects on a powerful framework he encountered in a workshop with Dirk Appel (Essence in Process). It explores how we sometimes bring the dynamics of other relationships...parent/child, friendship, even romantic partnership...into...
