The Art of Seeing Live Practicum

TIming & Cycles

Art of Seeing Private Mentorship

The Individual Chart & Cross of Life

The same body of work as the live cohort, in private one-on-one sessions with Amy and John. After completing the Essentials tier or equivalent foundation study, the mentorship continues through two progressive tiers, anchored in your own chart and the charts of people in your life.

2027 Global Cycle Change

Finding Our Way In The New Era

A self-paced workshop on living through a global cycle change.

Modern Relating

Global Cycles, Conditioning & Relationship Dynamics in a Time of Mutation

A self-paced workshop on relationship mechanics in a time of mutation. Using Human Design, it examines the collective relational field and the dynamics between two people: what's possible, what's given by design, and how to meet relational challenges with clarity.

Midlife & Life Story

Incarnation cross, Uranus Opposition, Chiron Return, Nodal Shift, & the life story

A three-hour self-paced workshop on the midlife years of the 40s and early 50s, examined through Human Design, astrology, and the arc of the life story.

About The Human Design Collective

Amy Lee & John Cole

Amy Lee and John Cole are Human Design teachers and practitioners. The Human Design Collective is their teaching partnership, rooted in depth, differentiation, and respect for individual nature. Their courses and workshops are designed for people seeking genuine understanding, whether for personal clarity, deeper relationships, or a path toward professional work.

Why Study Human Design with Us

Amy and John bring years of practical experience to their teaching. Both regularly work with clients through individual Human Design readings and consultations, ensuring the material they teach is grounded in how the system actually shows up in real people’s lives, not just in theory.

Their foundation courses follow the established Human Design lineage and are fully recognized by the International Human Design School (IHDS), making them the appropriate starting point for anyone seeking certification or professional training as a Human Design practitioner.

Human Design is a complex system, and most people learn it gradually and unevenly. Some things click right away, while others take months of experience to fully understand. Many learning environments work against that natural process. Amy and John instead create space for it by working with each student’s questions and observations without pressure or expectations of performance. Students often describe their courses as the most relatable and supportive Human Design education they have found.
