ABOUT
Heptagram is a transformative retreat that reveals the seven genetically rooted personality types. By understanding these endocrine-driven patterns, you learn to navigate relationships, career choices, compatibility and communication with clarity and compassion. Discover your inherent nature, decode others, and experience a profound shift in how you relate to yourself and the world.

“There are seven ways of being human. When you discover yours, everything changes.”

“There are seven ways of being human. When you discover yours, everything changes.”

A gentle eye-opening journey
Heptagram is a gentle yet eye-opening journey into the seven personality patterns that come from our genetic and endocrine makeup. Instead of approaching this from a heavy scientific angle, we explore these patterns in a way that feels practical, intuitive and deeply relatable—something you can immediately apply to your everyday life and relationships.
Throughout the retreat, you’ll learn how each of the seven types has its own natural strengths, challenges, motivations and ways of expressing love and communication. As you begin to recognize your own type, things that once felt confusing suddenly make sense: why you react the way you do, what environments support you, and where your natural gifts truly shine.
At the same time, you’ll also discover why the people around you—partners, family, friends, coworkers—see the world so differently. This understanding often brings a huge sense of relief. Instead of taking things personally, you begin to appreciate the unique design behind each person, and that simple shift can transform your relationships in powerful ways.
One of the most practical parts of Heptagram is learning to recognize these types visually and behaviorally. Because the patterns are genetic, they show up in body structure, energy, communication style and even in subtle preferences. This makes the system incredibly useful in daily life, from navigating partnerships to choosing work roles that match your strengths.
Although this knowledge has ancient roots—from early endocrine observations to wisdom traditions that carried it forward—we explore it in a grounded, modern and compassionate way. Nothing here is rigid or prescriptive; it’s simply a framework that helps you understand yourself and others with more kindness and clarity.
Most participants describe Heptagram as a “before and after” moment. Once you learn this, you can’t unsee it—and life becomes much easier to navigate.

      Welcome to Broughton Sanctuary

      The retreat will be held here at the 2,500-acre Broughton Sanctuary, just outside Skipton, at the foothills of The Yorkshire Dales, one of the most picturesque parts of the country. Established in 1097, Broughton Hall is a house of transformation, home to the Tempest family for over 900 years, and enjoys a rich history stretching back over the millennium.

      The Sanctuary is also home to one of Britain’s most exciting nature recovery projects, a heartfelt commitment to address one of our deepest contemporary crises, based upon an extensive tree-planting and rewilding programme. This year in 2025, we welcome beavers to the Sanctuary alongside our native cattle and Iron Age pigs. Subscribe to our Rewilding Broughton Youtube channel to learn more.
