Introducing the Human Design Moon Journal: Empowering Authors, Tracking Cycles, and Fostering Self-Discovery
Dear Supporters of Conscious Publishing,
We are elated and so satisfied to present the Human Design Moon Journal, an upcoming publication by Sleeping Phoenix Publishing - a pioneering publishing house devoted to delivering inspirational examples of uniqueness to your nightstand, coffee table, bookshelf, and kitchen table (perhaps covered in kid finger smears).
The first aim of our campaign is to raise funds to provide our very first authors with advances for their work on exceptionally differentiated works, making this project a collaborative effort between authors and readers like you.
The second aim is to finance the production of the Moon Journal: an empowering tool for embracing self-discovery by tracking cycles, both menstrual and moon transits.
By contributing to this campaign, you'll join us in creating a transformative tool that nurtures awareness and growth, while also playing a crucial role in supporting trailblazing authors.
Unlock the Potential of Self-Discovery
The Human Design Moon Journal is designed to be a practical tool for tracking essential cycles. Our vision is to empower individuals with the ability to recognize and understand the recurring patterns that influence their lives.
By keeping a mindful record of these cycles, you can tap into a deeper level of self-awareness and use this valuable knowledge in gradually peeling back layers of inauthenticity within your being.
When the mind can see how both it and the vehicle it inhabits “work” on a day-to-day basis, much of the heavy lifting is already done and over with in allowing yourself to fall back on authentic decision-making, instead of remaining aligned with fear- and shame-based conditioning.
Key Features of the Human Design Moon Journal
Menstrual Cycle Tracking: Ample space to record and observe your menstrual cycles, fostering a deeper connection with your body and its natural rhythms.
Yearly moon calendar with lunar transits
Fertility Awareness Method charts
Sun/Earth and Lunar Transits: Daily pages that highlight the sun, earth, and moon transits, allowing you to observe the state of your body, mind, and emotions within the context of planetary conditioning.
Daily journal pages
Godheads: The journal is divided into the 4 quarters as well as the 16 Godheads of the Rave Year. The beginning reign of each deity is marked by artwork and a story created specifically for the journal. The Godheads are an oft-overlooked piece of the Rave Mandala – these rogue crystal bundles shape conditioning in profound ways.
Godhead art and story
Monthly Overviews: Lunar cycle spreads provide insights into the broader patterns shaping your life.

Why Your Support Matters
By backing the Human Design Moon Journal campaign, you’re actively participating in the creation of a transformative tool that encourages self-awareness and differentiated living. Your contribution helps shape a resource that will (at some point, we hope) resonate with countless individuals seeking to better understand themselves and their place within the grand tapestry of life.
The Importance of Paying Advances
At Sleeping Phoenix Publishing, the value of our authors’ work is everything. The dedication they pour into their manuscripts is like coal in a cozily crackling fire – without it, we don’t exist, literally.
Many talented writers are already hard at work, dreaming of publishing their books within the next 1-2 years. Your generous contributions to this campaign will enable us to provide these aspiring authors with much-needed support in the form of cold, hard cash.
By receiving an advance, these authors can focus their time and energy on crafting the works that soon will grace the proverbial shelves of Sleeping Phoenix Publishing.
Your support not only empowers these talented individuals to realize their dreams – it also elevates the literary landscape by bringing forth enlightening literature that fosters inspired breakthroughs in readers like you.
What We Need & What You Get
To bring the Human Design Moon Journal to life and officially launch Sleeping Phoenix as a publishing house, we need [amount in USD] in funding. This will cover the costs of high-quality eco-friendly printing, compensating our writers with the advances they need, and realizing unique perks for our backers.
As a token of our gratitude, we've prepared exciting perks that promise to ignite your spirit!
- Mobile wallpaper Maia Godhead artwork
- Moon Journal
- Moon Journal + limited edition Maia Godhead print
- Moon Journal + Notebook
- Exclusive bonus perks from our upcoming authors: written/audio Not-Self readings, Introductory or Integration Readings, Art Charts, 2024 Transit Calendar PDFs and a one-month subscription to the Be{Hive}
In the spirit of transparency, if we don't reach our entire funding goal, the raised funds will still go towards bringing this journal to fruition – since that is the concrete product you’re buying here, but it will delay our ability to provide advances to authors initially.
However, your support will undoubtedly set us on the path to realizing our vision of becoming a conscious publishing house that wholeheartedly supports differentiated voices.
The Impact
Your contribution directly supports writers who are invested in their works and are hoping to publish within the next 1-2 years. By receiving advances, these writers can focus on their creative endeavors, bringing forth insightful and transformative literature that will touch the hearts and mutate the minds of readers around the world.
The Human Design Moon Journal holds immense value for both our contributors and the community at large. By tracking cycles, you stand to gain a thoroughly deepened understanding of yourself, leading to empowered decision-making and personal growth.
As for the community – your contribution aids in cultivating self-awareness and love in readers through the enlightening works of our committed authors.
Risks & Challenges
We believe in full transparency, so here are some potential risks and challenges we may face. Rest assured though, we are equipped to overcome them.
Paper shortages are affecting printing and publishing globally, and increasing publishing costs. We try to keep prices reasonable, as well as timelines, but there is always the chance for unexpected delays along the way.
International shipping is also expensive, and until we are selling enough books, we're stuck with regular prices. As soon as the opportunity becomes available we will upscale our logistics to save on shipping costs for everyone.
It is important to note that this journal is still a work in progress. The images used are a very solid representation of what the finished journal will look like, however we have to reserve space for a few details to mutate and evolve over the next couple of months before going to print.
We promise to keep you informed throughout the process and find creative solutions to any obstacles that arise.
