Human Design Training for Coaches & Therapists

The Many Layers of Human Design

This training is designed to introduce you to 20 aspects of Human Design, that when taken all together, help you see a person as a complex whole.  One of my analogies for Human Design is that of a beautiful collage made up of overlapping layers of tissue paper.  As you lay down the first layer, we get excited at the beauty we can see.  But then you add another layer in a different hue and the collage changes and the beauty enhances. And then you add another.

Over the course of the 10 sessions, we are going to create a beautiful human design collage together.  And with each new layer you will marvel at the understanding it provides about the nature of being human:  how our auras function, our life tempo, our inner guidance mechanics, etc.  These layers are described in greater detail further down in the training curriculum.

For me, there is a danger in applying Human Design in our work if our picture isn’t broad enough.  At a recent gathering I was describing the aura of generators and one participant spoke up (thankfully) and said that this didn’t  describe her at all.  Looking at her design, she had other relatively rare design aspects that colored over the main aspects of being a generator.  When I brought in the other details and added these dimensions to the big picture of who she is, she felt completely seen and validated.

See the Forest AND the Trees

I am someone who sees the forest and the trees simultaneously.  I want to help you see this bigger picture of Human Design, to see all the layers of the collage.

There is a conundrum inherent in studying Human Design:  We must learn Human Design mentally, one aspect at a time.  Yet the practice of Human Design is energetic and experiential!   I set up each class to train participants from three perspectives:  human design theory, applying human design in our own lives and how to employ human design in our practices of supporting others.

Who is This Human Design Training For?

This training is for professionals who support others through any form coaching (life coaching, business coaching, career coaching etc.) and/or therapy.  You don’t need to have prior knowledge of Human Design.  But, if you are completely new to Human Design, or haven’t had a private reading of your own design, I require you to do that ASAP.

How is the Training Organized?

Each of the weekly 10 sessions are up to 2 hours in length and will be held virtually via the Zoom Meeting video conference platform.  The sessions will start at 6:00 pm PST and be on Wednesday nights starting September 13, 2023.  The training ends on November 15, 2023.   The sessions will be recorded so you can watch any session you can’t attend and replay each session as you desire.

There will be assigned reading each week.  We will review the week’s reading and then I will share additional information not found in texts, adding to your understanding of each concept.  In each class we talk about how to deepen your own experiment with Human Design and the implications in working with clients.  Throughout the class we will be using Designs from each of us and from my files to further understand this material.
