Private Mentoring

Two ways to work with us one-on-one

The work we offer one-on-one falls into two areas. The IHDS Foundation Courses can be taken in a private format, individually at your own pace or together as the Foundation Bundle, with direct mentorship throughout. The Art of Seeing Private Mentorship is a sustained path of study and application over an extended period, for personal or professional development.

Foundation Courses

An individualized way to complete the Human Design Foundation Courses, combining self-paced video study with one-on-one mentorship sessions. The curriculum is the same as in the group courses; the learning unfolds privately, at your own pace, with direct support.

Living Your Design

The introductory Foundation Course in Human Design: approximately 8 hours of recorded video study with Amy Lee, paired with a 60–90 minute private Q&A session with Amy or John. Covers Type, Strategy, Authority, and the Centers as a practical map for observing how energy, decision-making, and awareness function through the body. No prior study required.

Rave ABCs

The second Foundation Course, for students who have completed Living Your Design or have equivalent familiarity. Approximately 10 hours of recorded video study with Amy Lee, paired with a 60–90 minute private Q&A session with Amy or John. Explores the relationship between Personality and Design, the circuitry of the BodyGraph, and the structure of the hexagrams.

Rave Cartography

The third and most substantial Foundation Course, building on Rave ABCs to complete the structural education needed for deeper chart literacy. Approximately 20 hours of recorded video study with Amy Lee, paired with two 60–90 minute private Q&A sessions with Amy or John. Covers Profiles, types of definition, the Rave Mandala, and the 64 gates as they function through the nine Centers.

Foundation Bundle

All three IHDS Foundation Courses taken together as one continuous program of private mentorship, beginning with a 90-minute Foundation Reading with Amy or John. Includes four 90-minute private sessions distributed between Amy and John, completed within six months. Equivalent to Living Your Design, Rave ABCs, and Rave Cartography combined.

How Foundation Course Mentoring Works

Each Foundation Course combines self-paced video study with live, one-on-one Q&A sessions. Students have three months to complete each course.

Art of Seeing

A sustained, one-on-one container for working closely with both Amy Lee and John Cole over an extended path of study and application. The program draws on the philosophical foundation of our live Art of Seeing cohort series and brings that work into the intimacy of private mentorship, approaching Human Design and astrology as working maps for perception and interpretation rather than systems of belief.

The material is met in the context of daily life. You work primarily with your own chart and the charts of people in your life and work, examining charts together in detail and refining interpretation through direct application. Some sessions are with Amy, some with John, providing multiple experienced perspectives.

The mentorship is structured in three modules, with focused individual sessions available for specific support.

The Individual Chart

A private mentorship of two 90-minute sessions for those with working Human Design fluency, completed over two to three months at your chosen pace. Moves from knowing the elements of a chart to seeing an individual design holistically. With Amy Lee and John Cole, grounded in your own chart and the charts of people in your life.

À la Carte Session

A focused 90-minute private session with Amy Lee or John Cole, for those who want support on a specific question, chart, or moment without committing to an extended path of structured learning. Useful for practitioners consulting on client charts, navigating a life passage, or returning to the work after a completed mentorship.

The Individual Chart

A private mentorship of eight 90-minute sessions for those with working Human Design fluency, completed over two to four months at your chosen pace. Moves from knowing the elements of a chart to seeing an individual design holistically. With Amy Lee and John Cole, grounded in your own chart and the charts of people in your life.

ConnectionS & Relationships

A private mentorship of eight 90-minute sessions for those fluent with the individual chart, completed over two to four months at your chosen pace. Expands the work into the field of relationship and group dynamics, working with connection charts, auric mechanics, and the basic Penta.

Cycles & Timing

A private mentorship of eight 90-minute sessions for those fluent with the individual chart, completed over two to four months at your chosen pace. Explores planetary cycles, transits, and the unfolding of a life through Solar Returns, Saturn Return, Uranus Opposition, Chiron Return, and the arc of the Life Story.

Individual Session

A focused 90-minute private session with Amy Lee or John Cole, for those who want support on a specific question, chart, or moment without committing to an extended mentorship. Useful for practitioners consulting on client charts, for navigating a life passage, or for returning to the work after a completed mentorship.
