Human Design Education &
Transformational Workshops
Human Design Education
The following three courses are considered the foundational education in the Human Design System. While they are required for further professional training at IHDS, these courses contain knowledge that can be beneficial for all of those interested in experimenting with the power and depth of the Human Design System. Our perspective is that they should be part of the general educational process of 9-Centered beings.
Living Your Design
The 1st Foundation Course introducing the Centers, Type, Strategy, and Authority

8 hours of video presentations and four live workshops with Amy Lee & John Cole on June 6th through June 27th, 2023
Living Your Design Guide
The Living Your Design Guide program prepares guides to be grounded enough in their own awareness and experience of the essential mechanics of the Human Design System to introduce newcomers to the knowledge with substance
10 Week Professional Training Program July 10 through Sept 12, 2023
Transformational Workshops
Mid-Life Workshop
Uranus Opposition & Nodal Shift

A 3-hour live online workshop with Amy Lee and John Cole exploring the mid-life process through the lens of the Life Story focused on the Uranus Opposition, Kiron Return and Nodes along with the opportunity to share and hear from personal experience.
The Mental Projector Experiment
A Lecture for Mental Projectors

This is a 2-hour presentation given by Amy Lee in a live workshop. Amy explores the unique design and authority of Mental Projectors as well as their role in relationships and other signposts for living an aligned life.
Relationships
Timing, Truth, and the Mutation of Bonding

This is a 75 min presentation given by Amy Lee exploring our individual nature through a unique take on definition and openness, self-love and self-hate, and how the deconditioning process and major cycle transits affect our tolerance in relationships.

What our students and colleagues have to say
John and Amy are remarkable individuals! When they bring their individual gifts together and facilitate a Living Your Design workshop, a unique opportunity is created. It was a pleasure to participate in one of their LYD workshops and now to be a member of the Human Design Collective. Their depth of Human Design knowledge and the perceptible ease that exists as that knowledge is passed back and forth between John and Amy is exceptional. They offer a sacred space for sharing and provide gentle, insightful guidance.
It is said when the student is ready the teacher will come. This is how I stumbled across Human Design. It is a system that integrates so many facets of being human. Learning about this has helped me to know myself in a deeper way and maybe more importantly it has helped me to be more gentle with myself. Having an awareness of type and authority, helps to make life experiences more meaningful. Knowing oneself is ultimately what we are all here to do, and Human Design is one way that helps awakens what we are called to uniquely do on this planet.
If you are called to learn more about Human Design, whether it be for your own personal growth or to help others, I highly recommend John Cole and Amy Lee! Their knowledge, experience, and ability to simplify complex information are astounding. As Projectors, they are natural guides who will illuminate the nuances of Human Design in a methodical way, layered with richness and incredible depth.
John and Amy create and nurture a space for learning that supports each student’s individuality, curiosity, and experiment.
It feels incredibly rewarding to be in the presence of and to learn Human Design from John and Amy. They teach you that each interaction with someone is an opportunity to see and learn the mechanics of this system. The more you see, the more you appreciate how both of them have put in the time and effort to live as themselves. They are both also clearly incredible students. The depth at which they have learned about, experimented with, and integrated the knowledge of the system is apparent. Their authenticity, the research behind their knowledge, and loyalty to the source make them trustworthy interpreters of the rich complexity of the Human Design system. Read More

I found Amy Lee and John Cole through their podcast (The Human Design Collective Podcast). As there are more offerings of Human Design guidance out there every day, it is daunting to sift through it all and find something truly authentic. When I heard their podcast it was already leaps and bounds above the rest of the noise. When I took LYD with them it was just a taste. I then had readings and proceeded on learning with them in their Rave ABCs and Rave Cartography courses. They held space in a way that all the best teachers and guides do. I felt they were both the guides and on the journey of the experiment themselves. I felt increasingly connected to all my classmates throughout our time together and I felt that we all understood it was because of the safe space created by Amy Lee and John Cole. They guided us gently and openly into our own awakenings to this knowledge. Read More
John & Amy are incredibly knowledgeable and provide very obvious depth of lived experience. Their courses have truly set the bar for Human Design education. I hands down recommend John & Amy to anyone interested in furthering their knowledge for personal growth and professional development.
The moment I encountered John and Amy through their podcast I felt an immediate resonance, a resonance that was confirmed a thousandfold when I wound up auditing Rave Cartography under their instruction with a wonderful group. Not only are they both excellent instructors and facilitators, but they embody what they teach and exude a mutative synergy that is palpable. Whether taking a class for the first time or keen to refresh your knowledge of the foundations on any level, John and Amy hold a fantastic space full of cathartic insights, where one is celebrated for their sharing, and where one feels truly embraced for who they are as a unique being.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the courses I’ve taken through the Human Design Collective. John and Amy make the classes fun, interactive, and very informative. The two of them have beautiful energy (both individually and together) that lends to a great educational experience, and I can’t recommend their courses highly enough!
I am so very grateful to have found my way to Amy and John’s foundation courses after listening to their podcast for several months and completing a foundation reading with Amy. It is hard for me to describe how important Amy and John have been in the discovery of my true nature and the nature of others in my life. The environment that Amy and John create in the foundation courses is full of grace, integrity and humor. They are a living example of what it means to experiment with and live your design. Read More
I loved it. The cool thing is, I didn’t expect to get so much out of it after intensively studying HD for 4 years. This proves how much richness there is in the foundation! So many (subtle) puzzle pieces clicked. I was touched by how much care Amy & John had put into the delivery of the material. They managed to bring a fresh version of Human Design without compromising the original material. Amy is the queen of bringing gentle but crystal-clear clarity, and John brings the fire and warmth by making sure everyone feels heard and seen. I am very picky when it comes to courses, but this one I can recommend with flying colors.
The first three years of my Human Design experiment were rather messy and confusing. I did the Living Your Design course for the first time in my second year at Human Design America, but it just didn’t land. At that time, it seemed that my mind still held a solid grip on my life, which prevented me from surrendering to the knowledge and the experiment. When I started my fourth year, I had already listened to The Human Design Collective podcast for a while. Something shifted that year, and life guided me to do the Living Your Design course with Amy and John. I was finally ready to receive the Human Design System more purely and genuinely. Read More
I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to take my foundation courses with Amy and John. You can feel the passion and intrigue they have themselves for what they are teaching that makes it so much deeper than simply sharing information. For me, to be able to take in this knowledge both mentally and viscerally felt like such a gift. They create an open and fun classroom environment that always feels inviting. Overall such a rich experience and I am extremely thankful that I began my Human Design education with them!
