Human Design Academy

It was an incredibly enriching experience to be part of the immersion!
The Human Design Academy team put a lot of thought into the preparation and planned and implemented everything down to the smallest detail with a lot of love and professionalism!
Thank you so much for this wonderful experience! I would do it again anytime! ;)

If you really want to immerse yourself in your own human design, this book is the best advice.
All the important terms are explained one by one so that you are taken along step by step.
All types are discussed, as well as inner authority and the various strategies for making decisions that are right for you.
The logbook provides space for your own observations and notes.
The description of the centers is very helpful to recognize stumbling blocks and to avoid them in the future.
There are also some pages to download as a template, which is very helpful.
I can highly recommend it!

Very loving and well thought out.

This book is so helpful and valuable that it should be a standard work in every school!

The author has succeeded in conveying the basic knowledge of human design in a wonderfully practical way.
The book leads to self-knowledge, self-acceptance and self-love and encourages us in our uniqueness.

Many thanks to you, dear Barbara, and to the whole Human Design Academy team for sharing your serious knowledge with us all in online courses, the free podcast and this wonderful and healing book! 🫶🏻

A fascinating travel guide for the journey to yourself. Wonderfully clear and concise in its design with the appropriate sensitivity as to what may be emphasized and which colors stand for naturalness, the linguistic design immediately brings you into contact with yourself. The warmth of the words and sentences, the respect shown to this very personal journey of each individual in this book is incredible. Thanks to the exercise instructions and the fact that this book offers space and room for notes, it becomes a personal travel diary and therefore a gift to myself - my treasure. The golden color in the book combines the sensitive design of the content with the beginning understanding of oneself and the self-love that is perhaps only now emerging.
Thank you Barbara for this gift.

I am incredibly impressed by this live experience. The immersion gave me a completely new and unique approach to human design, especially to my own design, but also to the energy of the other types.

Through the exercises, feeling the energy, the Human Design becomes alive and tangible. The group was simply wonderful and each individual contributed a great deal to creating a very warm and trusting atmosphere, a safe space that invited people to open up and show themselves.

This experience is very special for me. No theoretical knowledge from books, online courses etc. could describe how it really FEELS to experience your own design.

Thank you for this indescribably valuable event and for the organization, energy and love that made it all possible <3

A very special book on the subject of human design by an experienced IHDS-trained human design analyst and teacher.

In my opinion, what sets this book apart from other books on the subject is the very understandable language and the practical relevance through various exercises and reflection questions. In addition, the book is beautifully presented and makes the respective energy tangible through appropriate pictures.

It is of great value that the author not only has and imparts a great deal of knowledge on the subject of human design, but also offers approaches for inner work with the "not-self" as a non-medical practitioner for psychotherapy. It is therefore a book that really encourages you to get to grips with your own design and provides support to really live it, despite all the resistance and challenges.

It is basic knowledge, but is definitely also recommended if you have been dealing with the topic of human design for a long time, because it is a new and helpful approach to really understanding and living the basics.

The book "Discover Your Human Design" is the perfect book to get you started in the field of human design. It not only describes well-founded theory, but also provides exercises & reflection questions to help you take the first steps in your own experiment.
Barbara has a wonderful way of explaining human design so that you can apply it directly in practice and start to feel it.
I also think the design of the book is very successful and beautiful. It's really fun to read and go on your own journey of discovery. I can recommend the book to anyone who is interested in personal development and wants to go on a journey of self-awareness.

Ever since I started my online training at the Human Design Academy in 2021, I've hoped so much that there would be a live event at some point. I have been eagerly awaiting it for a long time and in 2024 it finally came true with the live immersion. And what can I say? It was 3 indescribably intense, transformative and wonderful days. You can't really put into words what we experienced during those days. We met on such a deep level, laughed and cried and the best thing was that we were all allowed to just be ourselves. Without being judged. Everyone was accepted for who they are. And that's exactly what felt so liberating.
Barbara led the immersion with so much sensitivity and experience that you always felt safe and at ease. The team organized the whole event with so much love and the location was gorgeous too.
Our group was truly unique and I am so grateful for every single encounter <3
Thank you so much for this incredible experience!

An experience that everyone should actually have. It was 3 days of encounters, 3 days of recognizing and feeling and 3 days of pure transformation. I am so grateful for this live immersion. I understood more in these 3 days than in the theoretical training. And that's not because of the training, but because of this feeling experience. The whole setting, the arrival, the location, the team, the group... everything was just right and everything was so lovingly organized. I can only say thank you for this extraordinary experience, life is now a different .... thousand times better 🥰 see you next time

I've been training to become an analyst online with the wonderful people at the Academy since 2021. I have always been thrilled, even if not everything comes easily to me. But what Live Immersion 2024 has brought with it is hard to put into words. It is something completely different and so wonderful to feel and experience what you have learned. It takes you to a completely different place. I can say that I have never been this close to myself before in my life. To feel ME like this, but also my surroundings. It is a gift to spend 3 days with people who see and accept you exactly as you are. To simply BE. And that in all its facets: meditating, dancing and in silence around the campfire. In conversations in which you can open up in a completely natural way and while dancing in the most beautiful place in the house - the kitchen. In a quiet environment in the middle of nature, there was also the opportunity to retreat at any time. Barbara and her magical team make this possible. They create a space in which I can let myself go with confidence. I hereby register directly for the next immersion!!!! Wohooooooo!!! THANK YOU!!!!

A wonderful practical book for anyone who wants to take their first steps with the Human Design System.
The basics are described in a fresh and comprehensible way, experiments for everyday life and reflections are encouraged on the learning content, and knowledge is transformed into experience and inner growth is inspired.
Awareness is the magic word, no longer having to take everything from the environment so personally, recognizing what is your own and getting to know the inner compass for your own path, these are the many messages, offers and invitations that Barbara formulates in her very own loving, appreciative and well-meaning way in a modern way in the book. The foundation is formed by well over a decade of the theory and practice of her own Human Design Experience, and the knowledge that has matured in her through personal experience in her own life and in her practice as an alternative practitioner and coach shimmers radiantly through the lines in many places in the book.
My own personal human design experiment of several years enriches this book by always bringing me back to the surface when my mind dives into the depths. Her offers for reflection and the testimonies of other people with podcast episodes linked in the book make the whole thing a multimedia experience. And that's exactly why this work works so well for me: it always picks me up at the right time on my preferred channel where I am, enriches me and my life through its offers and experiments, and always brings me back from theory to practice and my own lived experiment in my own life.
I say thank you from the bottom of my heart for this book!

I took part in Live Immersion 2024 and I still can't quite find the words to describe what I experienced. For the first time, I was able to immerse myself in the experience of consciously engaging with the types and centers and their workings and was thus also able to get to know my own design better. Barbara's loving guidance led us through each topic. It was wonderful to go through this intense and emotional experience together with this group and thank you to everyone who was there. I am especially grateful to the Human Design Academy for making this live immersion possible! Gladly again!

Anyone who is interested in Human Design and wants to get started will find in this book not only the descriptions of the different types, authorities and centers and the differentiated explanations but also some tips, exercises and questions for observation and self-reflection to experiment with their own chart. I like the descriptions and the texts read with ease. You can see how lovingly the author has put her human design knowledge into words. I can only recommend the book!

In my opinion, the book is suitable for all beginners who want to be gently led by the hand and don't want to be overwhelmed with technical vocabulary right from the start. Barbara does a very good job of linking "feeling" and "theory" in small interlocking chunks. I think it is a successful workbook for getting to know and feeling Human Design - because theory is useless if you can't feel it.

I was able to take part in the live immersion in April 2024. It was an experience that allowed me to feel myself and also to feel and interact with other people. I found out a lot about myself (e.g. why I sometimes feel like a "loner" but still need people around me - this is a field of tension that I had already sensed in myself, but could only really feel during the live immersion and then verbally underpin it with human design knowledge "so that it is also understandable for my mind).
In my opinion, Barbara invested a lot of time, love, knowledge and experience in the preparation for the live immersion - during the actual execution, she was present and gave us participants the opportunity to feel ourselves and others with the simplest and most effective means imaginable. She was there to lovingly and empathetically guide each individual and ask questions: how they were feeling, what they were feeling, what they needed to do, etc. She was in no way intrusive. She was in no way intrusive, neither with her HD knowledge nor with her HD experience. And that's what makes a trainer and coach for me - Barbara creates the space for others so that everyone can perceive themselves in their feelings. It's not about her "HD knowledge" in order to reveal it, or to show it off" (I have also experienced this with other coaches), but she applies her knowledge exactly there, so that we as participants can come into our power and our feeling. Thank you dear Barbara for this valuable experience that you have made possible for me and all the other participants. I would also like to emphasize the wonderful team around Barbara who accompanied us: On the one hand, the mentors were part of the whole feeling process, as they entered into the feeling experiments with us as participants, on the other hand, they were also a "leaning shoulder" for us participants when we needed someone to communicate and reflect on what we had felt, which was incredibly valuable. And every single mentor contributed so much to the design of the live immersion - it was all very coherent. There is a very caring, appreciative and respectful way of dealing with each other in this team, which is exactly what you want for yourself in your working environment. Thank you also to you for being there for us and with us in the Live Immersion. The Live Immersion is not a "seminar" that you just do and then it's good - it's about your own personal discovery and development, which can start with an event like this. I am now continuing my journey with the HDA and will complete the basic training - so that I can continue to work on my personal development. The Live Immersion was the starting signal for me. If there is another Live Immersion or similar. Live offer, I will definitely be there again. Because being able to experience this again and again with different participants also means for me an expansion of my "feeling and experiencing spectrum". Thanks again to all participants of the Live Immersion 2024, all the best Ulrike

Tangible knowledge - In this wonderful book, Barbara's HD knowledge is explained in a tangible way. Each individual center, each individual type and the individual authorities are carefully explained and there is room to explore your own design with the help of sample templates. An absolute heartfelt recommendation!

After three years of online training with Barbara and her team, this deep knowledge could finally be lived, felt and integrated as part of the Live Immersion 2024. Barbara and her wonderful team created a safe space and maintained it. Everything fit together, interlocked, I am deeply touched and grateful for this experience! Thank you, dear Barbara!

Dear Barbara, dear HD Academy team,
The live immersion in April 2024 was truly life-changing for me and is certainly already one of my absolute highlights of 2024. After almost 2 years of training with you only online, I was finally able to experience and get to know you live. This seminar provided me with such depth, connection and opportunity for transformation on all levels as I have never experienced in a live seminar before. Your work and the special group of participants created such an intimacy that I was able to get deeply involved in living human design beyond logical thought patterns. Much of the theory can now be felt deeply in the body and linked and anchored there as knowledge, which cannot be felt and experienced in this form in any book or course. Barbara has opened and held this space of transformation wonderfully with great attention to detail and to the process. Only now have I realized how helpful Human Design can be as a tool for self-awareness in interpersonal relationships. This immersion has helped me so much to understand and feel my own Human Design and that of other people even more. I can wholeheartedly recommend the work of Barbara and her team of mentors to anyone who wants to go deep on their Human Design journey, whether they are a beginner or an advanced practitioner. Concentrated, deeply tested, complete and, above all, applicable knowledge of Human Design from the original teachings can be found here, underpinned by a profound exchange of experiences that can be absorbed, stored and experienced on a physical level and not just mentally. A huge thank you to you for allowing me to be part of this journey with you and to have this incomparable live experience with you. I look forward to more live events with you.
A thousand thanks from the bottom of my heart!

Experiencing human design live has a very special quality.
Through Barbara's loving and competent guidance, we were all able to approach our design at our own pace. Feeling the different aura qualities and the centers was an incredible experience that I can recommend to everyone and that I will definitely repeat when the next opportunity arises.
Thank you for this special experience!
