I would just like to say how much fun doing this course on-line is. As a student in Australia talking with Gennaro each week in New York, it is amazing how easy it is. There is no sense of being on the other side of the world. It's like Gennaro is just there with us - very cool. Aside from the hi-tech system set up- the course content is brilliant. I have thoroughly enjoyed the on-line lessons once a week and the media lessons are very user friendly also. Having the audio makes learning for me very easy. Along with all this information have come alot of Ahah's (that is light bulbs going on in my head with the understanding I am getting). I can't wait till the next part and more of those light bulbs!
I just finished 2 weeks ago the LD course , first time in a virtual classroom it's was amazing it seemed that we were in the same class even if some of us took their breakfast and the others prepared their dinner. I took this course before the ABC and I think it has been very helpful for me to avoid to get lost by all the channels and keynotes , I just have in my mind the 4 types and the center so I watched the bodygraph like a whole and not through small parts, its like my perception is from the sky and not from a little part of the earth, as a really beginner it's very helpful, Gennaro explained the course from a practical point of view and for me it's a real chance to have this kind of explanation it's very useful for Living my design, or to try to do my best with my stategy
March LYD
I have just completed the LYD course with Gennaro. I absolutely loved the online class experience ( my first ) and would highly recommend it. Being able to record the session was an added bonus. It is amazing how much you can miss when you think you are listening!
Gennaro has a great style. He is very at ease with his subject. It would be tempting to rush off in all sorts of interesting directions but he kept to the purpose of the course. I had quite a few 'a-hah' moments. The self study section is a real treasure. I giggled my way through Ra explaining the open sacral centre. Just priceless!
Living in Australia doesn't afford me too many opportunities to study the sorts of things I would like, with the people I would like to study with. Must be something in my design that makes me want to hear things directly from the source! I feel as though I am learning from the best in this case!
Great job! I am looking forward to the next course!

It was great taking the online course in Sept & Oct with teachers Gennaro and Linda Hanan and my classmates. I found the format a bit distracting at first, with messages appearing sometimes while someone else was talking but soon got used to it. For me, it was pretty well ideal as I could eat my lunch and move around without disturbing anyone else. Also I was not adversely affected by any other people in close physical proximity.
The parts I really appreciated were the actual experiences that Gennaro and Linda related, especially about open centers. In particular, hearing about Gennaro's experiences with his undefined solar plexus center and his daughter's defined solar plexus was so valuable. I would have liked to have heard more from Linda.
I also deeply appreciated hearing from Linda on the projector's strategy. It truly is best to hear from someone living their type and hearing about the strategy of each type directly from that type.
In my typical fashion, I had no criticism when Gennaro directly asked for it in class. Then over the past couple of weeks some ideas surfaced and I made up an overview 'mind map', thinking that I hadn't seen a course outline. So I was ready to post it here but something made me look around a bit first and naturally I discovered that I had forgotten or skipped over the course description :oops: . Oh well, Pluto is in gate 26 line 4: censorship currently.
LD course feedback September 2004
I took the course Sept 2004.
I was a bit apprehensive first. I've already read Rudd's 'Living your Design' book and listened to lots of Ra's material. Did not want to waste my money and time.
Man, was I wrong!
I can highly recommend the LD course to ANYONE. To absolute beginners, people who would just like to know what HD is all about, guys who would like to become HD analysts, basically anyone.
Gennaro is an excellent teacher. I'm very fussy about teachers, but he is just excellent. He can put himself totally into the beginners mind when teaching. Did I say I also find him very funny?
The online course material is also very comprehensive. Lots of audio material from Ra with very entertaining pictures that you see in a slideshow style when the audio is playing.
All in all a very enjoyable month for me!!

LD Feedback
Hi everyone. I took the Living Your Design course in March 2004 and thoroughly enjoyed it. The presentation is so innovative! For someone who has the 18-58 channel, I honestly can’t think of any way that this course can be improved. The small class provided an in depth study of the open centers in our charts and the multimedia section enabled me to listen to the material several times and really take in the info at my leisure. I live in the UK and studying in this way brings people from all parts of the world together, sharing and learning in such a creative way. I highly recommend it.

I would have appreciated the course more had I been at a better place in my life. The material was interesting, but daunting because I was unable to focus on it to the extent I would under normal circumstances. I was glad for the resource, however, as it saved me time and travel and provided more personal and in-depth attention. Thanks, Gennaro, for your patience with an emotional manifestor NOT in sync with her strategy...
Well it looks like the course did it's job in stiring things up. The LD course is more about giving you questions than answers because without a question you'd never feel the need to start out on the journey. In this case the journey is one of Living Your Design. Only then will you find the answer that is right for you. The answer will be your life in motion.

I had my first live class with Gennaro, using the new technique of viewing charts while he pointed to the centres and gates, while we talked and wrote to each other about them....
Myself and the other student had dial-up connections yet the communication flowed well enough to have dialogue without breaking the train of thought.
I took a short while to get the hang of it, then found it fun and easy to use. It was like being close to the teacher, and having the opportunity to respond immediately as we went along. I reccommend it to anyone to use this.
feedback on the live course
I have enjoyed the course a lot and found the system to work rather well. Living remotely from the teachers, here in Australia it would not have been possible to receive this training otherwise. So although I am not someone who prefers to sit at a computer instead of in a classroom , it has been invaluable.
The course has stimulated in me a lot of questions, and the forum makes it possible to keep on researching these things.
I would have liked to have been told about the meanings of the gates and channels, but I guess that comes with future courses.
Thanks Gennaro

I absolutley have loved doing the online course. It is put together really well and Gennaro is informative and fun. I am in Australia and I feel like we are in the same room when we are doing the class. Congratulations on delivering such an amazing subject so practically.
