Introduction video by Richard Corbett
Embark on a journey of self-discovery with this groundbreaking course, guided by Richard Corbett. It is based on a pioneering Living Your Design Curriculum presented by Genoa Bliven. This course unpacks the astounding insights contained in the Human Design Bodygraph, step by step. We use a teaching format where you get to review class presentations through video and written materials and prepare creative work ahead of class time.
In the first section of this course, we delve into the Centers in a special order, developing a felt sense for each one of them and how they relate to each other. Our goal is for you to understand what the deeper essence of each Center means to you personally. Through this process, we uncover how all the Centers cooperate in the larger energetics of the bodygraph as a whole. We will discover what each Center means within our own life review, while also seeing how cooperation with our bodygraph will propel us toward our life goals.
At Human Design America, we support your learning through your personal experience and your creative process. Our study each week begins with the incisive insights of Genoa Bliven’s video presentations and transcripts, which are available for further study on your learning platform. The original writings by Genoa include deeper contemplations into the essence of each Center, followed by a point by point list to assist your learning process.
About your teacher
Richard Corbett
I was introduced to the Human Design system in the spring of 1999. I was immediately struck by the resonance I felt with my foundational reading and the truth that spoke to me through the mechanics of my chart. I began experimenting with my strategy and developed a personal relationship with my emotional inner authority and since that time my perspective on the world and my role and place in it changed forever. I became an HD analyst at that time and gave hundreds of readings during the next ten years.
Then, in 2010, I met Genoa Bliven from Human Design America. He became my mentor, and I once again took all the analyst training courses to be current with the most up to date training to be a professional analyst. It has now been over twenty years that I have been working with the Human Design System. It has had a profound positive impact on my life, and I have seen the remarkable awakenings in the lives of the countless people I have helped introduce to Human Design. Sharing this knowledge has become my great passion in this life. I love the simplicity, logic, and user-friendly nature of the system. It is a body consciousness awareness tool that can easily help us find our true authenticity and personal integrity. I greatly look forward to teaching the Living Your Design Course as it is the perfect first step for deepening your understanding of the Human Design System and learning new ways to appreciate your uniqueness.
Our class lessons also provide instructions for Wild Mind Writing Sessions that draw upon your deepest resources and insights that inform your understanding of Human Design as it emerges. These writing exercises are designed to be remarkably simple and easy to do, where you will be surprised by your insights that reveal themselves on the page. This is an opportunity for your personal creativity to engage with your own learning and to deepen your felt-sense for your Human Design.
Your wild mind writing sessions can take flight from the special writing prompts provided with each class, which provide a dynamic way to venture into a dialog with your Human Design, while integrating your life experiences in the process. As an example, you might write letters to, and from your Authority, or engage in an animated dialog with your Human Design Strategy. These Wild Mind sessions can be incredibly creative, ranging from hilarity to sharing deep memories and crucial learning experiences. It is called “Wild Mind Writing” for a reason, because it calls upon untamed levels of your body-mind awareness to participate in your learning process. Our goal is always to integrate your life experience into Living Your Design. In other words, Human Design is not separate from your life; Design is part of how you live and evolve as a living organism.
Wild Mind Writing is remarkably simple, and you may feel shy at first, yet it quickly becomes clear that these exercises support your process and allow it to come alive. We encourage you to read from your creative work in a special section of our live Zoom classes. This can be an incredibly satisfying experience. The atmosphere is extremely supportive and you’ll receive appreciation for your work. The teacher may point out insights that others can relate to and learn from, and connect it to your chart.
Reading your work sets the tone for the next section of our live Zoom classes, where we engage in animated discussion and sharing more insights and experiences. These lively discussions are filled with respect and a sense of discovery. Jym will guide this sharing and offer questions to deepen the connection between your life experience and your Human Design. Many students say they are often surprised by how much they learn from each other. This points out how much we need to learn from multiple voices and how we are greatly assisted by the flow of insights from unique points of view.
First, we take time to learn the archetypal qualities of the Centers and the bodygraph as a whole. This gives us the foundation we need as Human Design students. We also gain a sense of awe for the cosmic nature of Human Design and how revolutionary it is for Human Evolution. We will hear teachings which are part of Ra Uru Hu’s original approach to Design and understand them in a way that makes the whole bodygraph make sense.
We progress to Authority Determination and delve into how Personal Authority appears in your life. In class 5, we then transition to Type Determination and how your Human Design Strategy can transform your life in very specific ways.
We will study the “Structure of Designs” in ways that refer directly to your particular Design configuration and those of your fellow students. There is a certain precision and simplicity which appears through these structures, which reveals the energetic priorities within each Design. From this vantage-point, we can see how direct and specific Strategy can be. You will be learning important keys to Human Design that normally take years of experience to encounter, or even hear about. Covering this vitally important perspective belongs right here in the Living Your Design course.
Finally, we will explore how Type & Strategy fuse with your Authority to form Divisional Charts. These charts clarify the priorities and steps involved in Living Your Design. In the final four weeks of our class-series, we will look into individual class charts to give the guidance necessary to combine the felt-sense of your Authority with the specific actions of your Strategy. You will discover how very focused Strategies facilitate Living Your Design in surprisingly straightforward and practical ways.
Our curriculum is detailed and organized to provide a solid foundation for Human Design study, but it is not addressed only to your intellect; in fact, it is quite the opposite. Our course draws upon your deeper consciousness and your lived experiences to learn Human Design on a profound level. The essential key is to connect your life experiences and lifelong learning with this knowledge and its clarifying perspective.
It is important, that Living Your Design is not something vague or difficult to understand. It is based on your felt-sense for how your Authority works and calling upon it in situations and events as they arise — for example, within your relationships for conflict resolution and better communication. On the simplest level, Living Your Design is to remain true to yourself. Learning specific internal actions makes this process extremely direct and practical on a daily basis.
Throughout this course, we encourage daily journal keeping to record your thoughts and feelings as you explore the class materials and exercises. This is a distinctly private space for you to reflect on your experiences with each Center and the Bodygraph, and to feel entirely free and to explore nuanced meanings in your own way. This creates an informal record of your experiences as Type and Strategy appear in everyday situations, and how you learn from your trial and error process. These reflections, as informal as they are, become profoundly valuable resources for your learning process and a foundation for your subsequent sharing with others.

Join the Living YOUR DEsign course
Join us for this exciting and inspiring journey of self-discovery. Human Design is a high frequency process of awakening to your true nature and your larger aspirations as a person. We will study the mechanics of how you set your life in motion to learn and evolve. We are each born as innocent children so we can have the opportunity to grow up and mature. We will see how each of our lives is designed to challenge us to develop, with specific reference to our potential to evolve and adapt to more inclusive attitudes. Ironically, we are the source of all of the situations that challenge us. Realizing this, we each struggle to resolve conflict and engage in inspiring collaboration to fulfill our life mission.
The Human Design is a path of knowing yourself. You can experience an awakening which is truly electrifying and empowering. It is also a path based on specific information, which we can learn in an organized way, to integrate and uplift our life experience. Ultimately, your Design gives you the information that you need, one day at a time, specifically tailored to the events and relationships which mean so much to you.
