Reflections from Real Human Design Stories with Chetan Parkyn on the Unconscious Venus and Ancestral Healing

This is the first post in my new series, Reflections from Real Human Design Stories—a place where I return to the conversations that left a mark. Not because they were flashy or life-altering in the moment, but because they quietly rearranged something inside me.

This conversation with Chetan Parkyn was one of those moments.

A fork in the road I didn’t yet know that I was standing at.

What We Talk About

In this featured clip from Episode 54, Chetan shares how teaching Human Design in China led to the development of a deeply personal and powerful Karma Clearing process—one that connects ancestral memory, unconscious patterns, and the sacred architecture of our Human Design chart.

What we explore:

• The unconscious Venus and how it shapes our capacity to give and receive love
• How genetic inheritance and ancestral frequencies live on in the body
• Why self-love is not a cliché—but the required entry point for clearing karmic patterns
• The emotional power of seeing your chart through the lens of lineage
• And what it means to feel the ancestors show up in a room

Why This Conversation Stayed With Me

When I first heard Chetan describe how these patterns are encoded in the chart and how the unconscious Venus can open a doorway to ancestral healing, I was intrigued.

This wasn’t just another Human Design insight.

It was a moment of recognition I didn’t have language for yet.

After we stopped recording, Chetan invited me to attend the Human Design conference in Santa Fe and his Karma Clearing event last September.

That’s where I met Jess Tilly—someone who would go on to become a friend, a collaborator, and the person who invited me to go deeper in Austin.

Now, Jess and I are bringing our own unique take on this process to our online community through a new offering we call Karma by Design.

And it all traces back to this moment.

Personal Reflections

At the time, I didn’t realize I was saying yes to anything, let alone to transformation.

I thought I was just having a chat.

I didn’t know I was stepping into a space that would shift the entire arc of my work.

Sometimes we barely notice the forks in the road. 

This clip is me walking up to that fork, recorded.
