The Advanced Reader Training

An intimate year-long Human Design training program that teaches the connective logic and story-focused art of becoming a master HD reader.

The Advanced Reader Training brings together a tight-knit group of Human Design readers and lovers to push past surface-level reading and develop a logical, skills-based method for seeing the bigger picture of someone’s individual design.

“I so love how you teach Human Design. I don’t feel like I can adequately express my gratitude to you both. I’ve gotten so much insight, and I couldn’t have gotten to these realizations without both of you, and I’m so grateful. I learn so well from lots of data and seeing it played out in real life, and I love the way you both weave this in. I feel like I’m slowly consciously leaning into my design the more I learn.”
— Mary Stout (they/them), 4/6 Generator

You are deeply passionate about Human Design

…you wouldn’t be here if you weren’t.

Because, whether Human Design found you at a time of personal growth and change, or you have been mindfully living your design for as long as you can remember, you grasp the impact that a comprehensive, logical understanding of your design can have on an individual’s direction, confidence, and personal development.

You’ve seen Human Design shift the way that you live your life, and you’ve read the charts of your loved ones to help them find the same freedom that you have…

Long story short, you’ve fallen down the rabbit hole. Watching hours of YouTube videos and IGTVs, endlessly scrolling through Jovian Archive and the dozens of Human Design-centric social media accounts you follow.

And as much as you would love to be in a place where you feel confident and capable of providing your friends, family, and future clients with readings that will shift the way they approach everyday life, you always catch yourself thinking…

“What does everyone else understand that I don’t?”

You feel that your Human Design knowledge lacks depth. Or, at least, that there is so much more to be learned.

Welcome to A.R.T.

The Advanced Reader Training is a comprehensive, in-depth program that dives deeper than any book, video, social media post, or weekend training ever could.

Because, while those things are great for gathering a basic comprehension of Human Design…

  • …they didn’t give you the time to build a personalized approach to your reading practice.

  • …they gave you all of the pieces, but didn’t show you how those pieces intersect.

  • …you were handed the facts, but not the ability to derive a detailed narrative of someone’s design based on their chart.

So, while it’s easy to feel like you lack the inherent “ability” that your favorite Human Design readers possess, that’s simply not the case. In fact, the only thing you’re missing is depth of understanding, and the ability to connect the dots between what you know and what you see in someone’s chart.

Other reader training programs brush past the practical, logical practice of Human Design reading in favor of the easily digestible facts.

The Advanced Reader Training combines hands-on practice with logic-based learning and contextualized information to teach you to see and articulate the whole picture of someone’s chart.

It’s not for those looking for quick training and easy understanding of the basics (the kind you can find in basically any Human Design book). But it is for those who want to learn everything they can about a topic that they love in order to become the best possible reader for their clients.

Hear from another ART Alum:

“I am so grateful to have found you and your reader training programs. I absolutely adore you, your style, your openness and kind nature. I had taken another Human Design course online and it left me with more questions than answers. When I took yours, it all just seemed to click and finally make sense. I love that you make even the complicated easier to understand without glossing over anything. Thank you!”
— Cassandra Long (she/her), 6/2 Projector

The ART approach

We acknowledge that no education (or Human Design reading, for that matter) is one-size-fits-all. This is exactly why we’ve built a dynamic and nuanced approach to reader training. Over the course of the year, you will meet with experts and peers to rediscover the basics of Human Design, uncover the nuances and details, and refine your personalized approach to reading bodygraphs.


WEEKLY LIVE TRAININGS

Weekly live trainings are the mainstay of A.R.T. Instead of following pre-recorded modules, or reading through a dense PDF, our program is built on weekly live calls that use stories, lessons, and conversations to dive into the intricacies of Human Design.

EXPERT INSIGHT

As the current go-to HD expert for your friends, family, and current clients, there is something deeply refreshing about once again becoming the student (and being the one asking questions, instead of being the one people ask their questions to, for a change).

ONLINE COMMUNITY

Nope, not another Facebook group. A.R.T. provides you with an incredibly uplifting exclusive online community, as well as a cohort of your peers to lean on, practice with, and connect with throughout the duration of the program.

HANDS-ON PRACTICE

Practice, real world examples, and hands-on learning are woven into our entire curriculum, with students getting the chance to practice their reading with each other, and with volunteers from Jes’ online community.

From another ART Alum:

“Going deep in the Advanced Reader Training will quickly turn you into a Human Design nerd like the rest of us. You will truly understand the system and the mechanics. You will be able to have deep conversations, not only with your new HD friends in the community, but also with your friends and family who you will astonish with your knowledge of them.

You will be able to understand and explain why you are not like your mother or father, and why your own children are not at all like you. You will transform your relationships with others - and yourself!

Human Design is an amazing tool. And Jes takes you by the hand and guides you where you need to go. Personally, in this phase of my life, studying Human Design has been the best opportunity for growth. I could not have learned from anybody else.”
— Svenja Lange-von Oertzen (she/her), 4/6 MG

Human Design mastery takes time.

The Advanced Reader Training gives you the time and support you need to absorb, activate, and implement your newfound Human Design expertise into your business and your life.

Human Design is a rich, logic-based system. Mastering and supporting clients with it requires:

  • Opportunities for practice and real-world applications in a supportive environment.

  • An in-depth understanding of incredibly nuanced topics.

  • The ability to logically fill in information gaps and synthesize various themes in order to give clients a robust understanding of their design.

The weekend training programs, YouTube videos, and books that you love to binge simply don’t hold enough space for you to master all of it.

I spent years reading books, self-studying, taking different classes and courses and have carefully and intentionally put together A.R.T. so you don’t have to do the same.

 
 

The truth is, you might never “feel ready” to take your Human Design training to the next level.

(and that’s okay!)

Because, with a passion for learning, a love for Human Design, and an intimate understanding of the ways in which Human Design can drastically improve a person’s life, career, and personal development… you’ve already got everything you need to be an amazing Human Design reader.

It might simply be a matter of deciding to take the leap — only you can know if now is the right time for you to go deeper in your Human Design studies.

Imagine if, instead of feeling like you’re barely scratching the surface of your Human Design readings, you put your time and energy towards developing a practice that…

  • …allowed you to effortlessly weave a story together for your clients in a reading, helping them hold and understand all parts of their design, even when some feel dissonant.

  • …helped you understand the energy flow and major themes of a bodygraph so intimately that you’re able to look at a chart and know with complete certainty which parts to prioritize in a reading or coaching session to best support your client.

  • …provided you with such depth and integrity of knowledge that creative, transformative Human Design-related content, products, and services came easily and you felt completely confident sharing your work with the world.

You would no longer fight the self-doubt that creeps into your everyday work. You would no longer second-guess the narratives you build from your client’s charts, the content you share, or the products you sell. And most importantly, you would no longer worry about missing something crucial as you’re piecing together the big picture of someone’s design.

Inside of A.R.T., you will have direct access to the space, support, and expertise that you need to develop the Human Design reading skills you desire.

Inside The Advanced Reader Training Curriculum


A.R.T. is a 12-month training program that covers both the foundations and the intricacies of Human Design in-depth.

Here’s an overview of what we will be covering in our weekly live meetings throughout the year-long training:

How to synthesize major themes in a chart:

We start this process early and add to it as we deep dive into each aspect of Human Design. Learning how to synthesize themes in a chart will allow you to weave a story together for your client, and help them to hold all of the parts of their design–all the parts that make them who they are–even when some of them may feel dissonant.

The Foundations of Human Design:

  • The Rave Mandala

  • Cosmology of Human Design (belief, meaning, and the origins)

  • Relationship Connection Themes

  • Introduction to the Planets

  • Introduction to Transits

  • Lunar Transit tracking for Reflectors

The Hexagram:

The hexagram is an often overlooked part of Human Design, but it’s vitally important. It is the DNA of Human Design - even though you likely only know its role in the context of Profile. We go deep into each line, including how it shows up in real life and a writing exercise to help you take your knowledge much further than basic facts about each line. 

Profile Building:

What are the building blocks of a profile, and how do you use those building blocks to create a profile description in your voice, through your lens?

  • Conscious & Unconscious line placements

  • Transition between lines

  • Line Harmony, Resonance & Dissonance

  • Profile/Cross Angles (right, left, juxtaposition)

The 12 Profiles:

An in-depth look at each profile, including emergent characteristics, neuroses and reflection prompts to use for yourself and with your clients

Incarnation Cross Overview:

  • How crosses are created

  • How to pull the major themes of a cross into a synthesis with other parts of the design, without memorizing all 192 crosses and getting lost in the details of IC.

  • The 4 quarters of the mandala

  • The angles

The 3 Major Circuit groups, the minor circuits, and the integration channels:

  • How to bring the themes of the circuit groups into a reading

  • How to interpret gates and channels in the context of the circuit groups, circuits, and integration channels.

The Awareness Streams: 

Master the flow of energy in the chart by understanding where energy begins in the BodyGraph, and what path it takes as it makes its way to the throat center. This brings depth and context to the purpose of each gate and channel in the chart.

All 36 Channels & 64 Gates: 

A detailed view of gates & channels in their contexts -  centers, circuits, streams, channel types, and the rave mandala - over several months. Viewing gates and channels this way enables you to effortlessly connect to the practical reason for the gate/channel activation in a chart: why it’s there, how to use it, and what it means in a client’s life. We break them down in the following sections:

  • Format Channels

  • Awareness Streams

  • Power Column

  • Minor Circuits

  • Integration Channels

Advanced Definition Analysis:

When there are multiple bridges in a client’s design learn how to spot the main pressure points / points of conditioning.

How to give readings:

  • Support for structuring your readings

  • In class case studies

  • Guided practice readings

  • Support for discovering how your unique design influences how you show up in readings and/or how you prefer to engage with the Human Design system as a tool for supporting your clients and loved ones.

PLUS, additional resources to supplement your education, including:


DIGITAL FLASHCARDS: to help you memorize key concepts. Save them to your phone and revisit them when you have a spare 5 minutes, or if you're a tactile learner, you can print them out.

SELF-ASSESSMENT QUIZZES: lots of them! This allows you to test your knowledge in bite sized pieces, and anchor key concepts. This is especially supportive if you're nervous about discussing new information in a group setting. You can test your knowledge first, immediately know which sections to review, and enter your peer to peer discussions with confidence.

REFLECTION PROMPTS: to explore your Design and do your own inner work. These are also an incredibly useful resource to use as discussion points with your clients in a reading.

DETAILED WORKSHEETS AND OUTLINES TO HELP YOU STRUCTURE YOUR HUMAN DESIGN READINGS: so that no matter what chart is in front of you, and what stage of your learning you’re in, you’ll know how to structure the information in a way that flows for your client. (Plus the support and encouragement to experiment with your reading formats so you can find the format that will work best for you!)

A.R.T. is an intentionally intimate, community-oriented program designed to strengthen and enrich your understanding of Human Design to enhance the quality and depth of your readings.

And ultimately, joining A.R.T. is about developing a comprehensive understanding of the art and science of Human Design in order to be able to read between the lines, fill in the gaps of understanding, and present relevant and transformative information to each and every client.

Jes Fields (she/her)

3/5 Projector, Emotional Authority, RAC Planning

“When I came across Human Design in 2016, I was a completely different person living (what felt like) a completely different life. I was at the end of my rope in a high-stakes career, spinning a million plates at once and just barely keeping them balanced, and never quite being able to manage everything that was on my plate. When, deep in a YouTube rabbit hole about personality types, I discovered Human Design, I felt like I had found a way to make total sense of why I am the way I am. Needless to say, I dove in headfirst.

What I discovered through my HD journey, was that there was never anything wrong with me. There was just something wrong with the way that I was living, and the expectations that I had placed on myself. They were completely out of alignment with my Human Design. In the years since that fateful YouTube binge I’ve uprooted the parts of my life that didn’t serve me, started living and working in alignment with my Projector needs, and shared that entire journey with my community. I feel so lucky to be able to share with you the same sense of self-discovery, purpose, and peace of mind that Human Design has allowed me.

Traditional Human Design training programs require years of learning the basics, sitting through boring online lectures, and sticking with the old school way of learning (that you and I both know is not a great match for every design type). And the more modern weekend trainings barely scratch the surface of what you need to know to give effective readings. The Advanced Reader Training not only fast-tracks the process of becoming a true Human Design expert with a story-focused, robust curriculum that everyone can enjoy. I hope you’ll join me for our next cohort.”

Alongside Jes, the Advanced Reader Training will be facilitated by several other Human Design experts who will teach during our live sessions, lead small group discussions, host learning activities, share their personal experiences and perspectives with you, and be available to answer your questions between sessions.

Each member of our Teaching Team has completed extensive training with Jes Fields and is able to share Human Design knowledge in a grounded and thoughtful way.

Cara Halber (she/her), Lead Program Advisor

2/4 Emotional Projector

Cara is an A.R.T. alum turned program advisor with over 12 years of coaching and 100+ readings rounding out her resume. In typical Projector fashion, Cara loves diving deep into the insights that Human Design provides people and pulling out the simplest and most realistic shifts that help her clients move efficiently toward their goals. Her ability to combine practical wisdom with soulful insights makes her an invaluable resource to our A.R.T. students.

Though Cara greatly values her own personal transformation through discovering and embracing her Human Design, she has never been more grateful for her knowledge and skills than with parenting two very busy, pure Manifesting Generators. When she has a moment to herself, you can find her immersed in a good book, spending time near the ocean, and savoring a great cup of (decaf) coffee.

Being a skilled reader isn’t about memorizing as many facts as possible.

It’s about learning to truly understand a chart and interpret the unique definition in front of you.

With dozens of happy students, it’s safe to say that the depth and integrity of the knowledge that you’ll have access to in A.R.T. is unmatched:

Human Design reader education as you know it teaches you the pieces, but it doesn’t scratch the surface of how to weave together the big picture.

It’s like putting together a puzzle with no reference image–you might be able to match up a few pieces, but it’s difficult to see where they fit in the whole.

The Advanced Reader Training gives you the big picture, and instructs you on putting together all of the information and details that you need to truly, deeply master the logic of Human Design.


Frequently Asked Questions

  • A.R.T. is designed for people who already have a strong baseline understanding of (and love for) Human Design. This includes knowledge of the foundations, including type, strategy, authority, definition, and the 9 centers.

    If you want to join A.R.T., but don’t quite have the knowledge base needed to confidently enroll, I encourage you to join my Nine Centers Mentorship first (or take both courses concurrently).

    To discuss whether A.R.T. or the Nine Centers Mentorship is the right fit for you at the moment, please reach out to support@jesfields.com 

  • Weekly for 60 minutes.

    The 2024 cohort will meet live on Thursdays from 11am-12pm EST, beginning in early 2024.

    Attendance to the live calls is integral to your learning journey, though calls will be recorded in case you have to miss one. We highly recommend being present for as many calls as possible.

    Note: If the time is the meeting time is the only thing holding you back from enrolling in A.R.T., reach out to support@jesfields.com to discuss your options.

  • We totally understand that life happens, and sometimes you might have to miss a live call. If that’s the case, please don’t stress about it. All calls will be recorded and uploaded into your private curriculum portal for you to catch up on in your own time. 

    That said, we highly recommend you be fully present for as many calls as possible, as these live calls are your chance to ask questions, interact with your peers, and get expert insight in real time. It’s totally possible to be successful in this program without having attended 100% of the calls, but the more that you can make it to, the more enriched your education will be.

    Note: If the time is the meeting time is the only thing holding you back from enrolling in A.R.T., reach out to support@jesfields.com to discuss your options.

  • In addition to the 60-minute weekly call, there are monthly practice readings (beginning the fourth month of the program) which will require 3-4 hours each for preparation, giving the reading, and debriefing. You’re also strongly encouraged to set aside 1-2 hours per week to study and work through the learning resources in Teachable (quizzes, writing activities, and digital flashcards). We highly recommend making study groups with your peers whenever possible. Studying is so much more valuable (and fun!) when you don’t have to do it alone.

  • We deeply believe that a year is the minimum amount of time required to become a true master at Human Design reading. Because Human Design is a deep, rich, logic-based system with so many layers and so much nuance, we believe that the best training happens over time with ample opportunities for practice.

  • Yes! Inside A.R.T. you will have the opportunity to practice reading each other’s charts, as well as the charts of volunteers from Jes’ online community. We also offer support and feedback as you prepare for readings with clients, friends, and family members.

    Live reading practices generally begin around the fourth month of the program.

  • While 1:1 support is not offered in this program, Jes and the teaching team are available to answer your questions during the weekly live calls. We also have a private online community (not on Facebook) where you can ask any questions as you are completing the integration lessons. Rest assured that all of your questions will be answered!

  • Deeper education, a more nuanced understanding of reading, mastery of both the art AND science of Human Design.

    Don’t get us wrong, we see the value in the weekend-long reader trainings that people provide—they help you gain a fundamental understanding of how to read people’s Human Design, and provide you with a big-picture approach to HD. But these programs lack the time needed to deeply understand the context of a person’s chart, fill in informational gaps with logical reasoning, and adapt a personalized approach to Human Design reading.

    It’s important to understand that every single design that you will come across is different, and in the same vein, no two readings are alike. A.R.T. gives you the tools and skills to immediately identify the important aspects of a person’s chart, and build a narrative around what their design is telling you.

  • 100% YES!

    Many students join A.R.T. already giving basic readings to clients, friends, and family. Others give their first readings within a few months of joining the program. And other students are enjoying their career with no intention of ever giving readings professionally. Whatever you’re planning to do with your newfound expertise, A.R.T. gives you a whole new lens through which to view your world and your relationships.

    We give you all the grace and space to be yourself, and choose how and when you want to apply your learning to your life and business. That being said, my 3rd line will always encourage you to try, play, experiment, and get into action as you’re learning. There’s a lot of support for practice readings, and applying your knowledge is an integral part of the A.R.T. learning process.

    Human Design is a lifelong exploration. After A.R.T., you might want to deep dive into another layer of HD, and learn how to give return readings (solar returns, Saturn returns, etc.), advanced penta readings for business teams, or incarnation cross deep dive readings. While there is always more to explore with Human Design, A.R.T. takes you solidly to the bottom of the rabbit hole, and gives you a foundation to understand the logic of the entire Human Design system.

    By the end of A.R.T., you’ll understand the energy flow and major themes of a BodyGraph so intimately that you’re able to look at a chart and know with certainty which parts to prioritize in a reading or coaching session to best support your client.

    And beyond giving readings, the depth and integrity of knowledge you’ll have means creating transformative Human Design-related content is effortless. Products and services will come easily, and you feel confident putting your work out into the world.

    The Advanced Reader Training program will help you master Human Design and step into a leadership role in the industry, alongside your fellow HD experts.

  • Our next cohort begins in early 2024, and meets on Thursdays from 11am-12pm EST.

    Note: The 2024 cohort will be an intentionally small group with only 10-14 spots available.

    If you’re interested in filling one of those spots, but want to chat beforehand please reach out to support@jesfields.com
