Teaching focus

Martin Grassinger met Ra Uru Hu privately on Ibiza in 1991 — before Human Design was introduced to the public — making him one of the earliest people to encounter the system. He became the first licensed Human Design analyst globally in April 1993. Alongside Jürgen Saupe, he was one of the first two teachers to offer full analyst training in the German-speaking countries (1994/1995). He was present at Ra’s first teachers training in January 1996 in San Juan Bautista, California. He collaborated with Ra on the development of Rave Biology and conducted statistical studies on Human Design at the University of California. He continues to teach and practice from Hamburg, Germany.

Martin Grassinger is also one of the early teachers to bring Human Design into a business and organizational context — working alongside Jürgen Saupe in the German-speaking world to develop what became the BG5 approach to group and team analysis.

  • Martin Grassinger, statement preserved at ra.uru.hu/die-stimmen-der-lehrer/ (translated by JC Simpson, published in parallel English/German): “I knew Ra before the HDS was in the world. Ra introduced me to the HDS at the early stages of its development. Ra was curious about the way I looked at the system. I suggested that it could be used for therapeutic and medical aspects of physicality. It was a very fruitful period of exchange and supplementation. In 1994 Ra encouraged me to teach the first health course I developed, he was present in the lecture hall and listened intently.”
