A gentle introduction for women who want to live in rhythm with their true energy
What Is Human Design?
At its core, Human Design is a system for remembering who you really are.
Not who you were told to be.
Not who the world rewards.
But the you beneath all the conditioning.
It blends ancient wisdom (astrology, the I Ching, the chakra system, Kabbalah) with modern science (quantum physics, genetics, and psychology) to create a personal blueprint—called your BodyGraph—that reflects your energy, decision-making style, purpose, and how you're wired to move through the world.
Why It Matters (Especially for Mothers + Creators)
Most of us were raised in a one-size-fits-all world.
We're told: be consistent. Work harder. Push through. Don't feel so much.
But what if your natural rhythm doesn’t fit that mold?
What if you're here to respond, not initiate?
To guide, not hustle?
To rest more, not force your way through?
Human Design helps you understand:
How to make aligned decisions (your Strategy & Authority)
Where you’re naturally magnetic and impactful
What energy is yours—and what you’ve been carrying that isn’t
How to honor your flow, your timing, your design
The Five Energy Types
There are five main Human Design types, each with a unique way of engaging with life:
Manifestors: Initiators, trailblazers, here to spark new movements.
Generators: The life force of the world—lit up when doing what they love.
Manifesting Generators: Multi-passionate creators with quick-moving energy.
Projectors: Guides and seers—here to lead, not hustle.
Reflectors: Lunar beings who mirror the health of their community.
Each type has a unique strategy for making decisions, and a different rhythm that, when honored, leads to more ease, clarity, and trust.
What Human Design Isn’t
It’s not a personality quiz.
It’s not about putting yourself in a box.
And it’s definitely not something to get “right.”
It’s a tool for deconditioning—for shedding the layers that keep you stuck and realigning with how you were always meant to move through the world.
Human Design in Motherhood + Business
So many mothers, caregivers, and women business owners feel like they’re constantly pushing against themselves.
Human Design says: What if you didn’t have to?
What if parenting, creating, and showing up in your life could feel more aligned with your actual energy?
That’s why we’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Michelle Crouse, our Mother Oak Circle community expert, to teach low-cost classes on Human Design for Parents. She’ll guide you through the basics—and how to begin understanding your children (and yourself!) with more clarity and compassion.
