• It opened my eyes to how deeply I was following my external expectations and showed me that, in fact, I do exist.

• It helped me relax into my own body, (re)gain confidence in self and help develop in my bodies wisdom.

• It introduced sides of myself to me that I had no idea were still alive. It gave me the objective view the world, through understanding the mechanics behind my relationship with myself and others.

• It deepened my understanding and acceptance of differentiation of the other, made it possible for me to form and observe connections based on honesty and integrity.

• It thought me that it is OKAY. To be here. To be unafraid. To be relaxed. To be free. To express myself. To claim a place in this world and call it mine.

• It humbled me. It showed me my position in the world, and drew this magical, beautiful, real painting, that is me.

• It offered practical tips for living. Guidelines I could potentially rely on and test their validity. It gave me something to do. To think about. To love.

• It gave me me. Now how cool is that? -pretty cool, Anja. 😁

Or, it at least gave me the ability to see. Yes moving through time, space, still. But noticing the patterns, becoming aware of them. Everything is the same as before, only my awareness has changed. Deepened?

• It shattered illusions. Helped me understand the architecture of humanity.

• June 2018 - found out about Human Design System thought a YouTube channel Hannah’s Elsewhere

made sure I got anything and everything I knew how to get my hand on about HDS and jumped deep into the sea of self study and practical testing

• January 2019 - had my first reading + entered into an educational process with a mentor

• June 2019 - put it to the test, practically, in extremes. Because, of course. Look at my south node in 15, extremes. (15.2 personality, 15.4 design)

after a quick jump to a different country, I there continued my volunteering and extreme self verification journey.

spending approximately one month in each of 5 different communal spaces. Testing self, other that I happened to bump into, and watching group mechanics and changes within them over a sample one month period. Then off to the next place. Comparing the effects of me appearing in space to space, watching the speed and way of transformation of the group. Seeing how much it was a result of me being present in those small groups, and how much was just a logical continuation of change that was going to happen independently of my presence.

challenging my communication by going from one continent to the other, also taking in aspects of cultural differences, as well as focusing on behaviour of specific individual I was in contact with one on one.

And oh yes, seeing my personal process very much up close, as it felt like I was truly moving around in a bubble, completely independent from any ideas of how where who I should could must be. Alone, with humans. Doing extreme cleaning of self. Or not-self, let’s say.

• May 2020 - working for an organisation focused on living out a very specific philosophy, that was filled with people from several different cultures of the world.

• March 2021 - studying them through Organisation Culture Certification program from Hofstede. Now watching the dynamics change not just over one month, but several months. Including a lens of business and sociology. Group within a group within a group, with less focus on individuals now.

• February 2022 - working in retail where I enhanced my skill of condensed explanation when guiding customers to desired product.

ALL THROUGH THAT TIME and still going: circling back to Human Design System and seeing how much, if at all, can I confirm, still verifies as truth, studying the material, individually and through professionals.

Before HDS? Involved in classical and contemporary vocal harmonic music as a child, studied architecture at University, volunteered in intergenerational volunteering projects, always interested in dynamics between people and their individual expressions.

Before, or simultaneously with studying Human Design System also jumped from a little more spiritual and then to classically scientific methods of studying humans.

Systems that crossed my path, and me involving myself in them. Both information, and experimentation wise are:

• QHHT by Dolores Cannon - www.dolorescannon.com

• Mayan Astrology - www.whenthestarsaligned.com

• Permaculture Design - https://permaculture.asia

• Organisational Culture - www.hofstede-insights.com

Went from sitting at home and reading about the information, listening to lectures while on the move, to going out there, travelling, working in groups, studying individuals.
