About Us

Meet Dharmen and Leela, direct students of Ra Uru Hu. As Human Design Teachers, they share 27 years of experiential learning to support your relationships and self-awareness.

As Human Design teachers and coaches, we provide the mechanics of awareness for your experiment in being you. Ra Uru Hu students Dharmen and Leela have been actively experimenting with Human Design since 1999. Trained by Ra in the mechanics, they bring a wealth of experience, depth, humor, and practical tools to their courses and coaching sessions. 

Dharmen is a 1/3 Reflector. His personal experience of openness gives him a deep understanding of the human dynamics of conditioning, openness, and the potential for wisdom. 

Leela is a 4/6 Emotional Authority Generator. Her personal experience of emotions and felt awareness of clarity gives her a deep understanding of the human dynamics of intimacy and individuality, and the gifts of self-observation. 

Life Partners for Over Forty Years
We have been partners in love and life for over 40 years. We have a multiethnic blended family, and we raised 3 of our boys together.

Over the years, we have remained committed to our individual growth and mutual awareness. We have endured parenthood, failed businesses, bankruptcy, illness, separation, and the death of our youngest child, as well as the intense joy of building a life together dedicated to growth, stewardship, and personal accountability.

We met Ra and Human Design in 1999, and we have been actively experimenting with Human Design in our individual lives for the past 27 years. We had our individual readings from Ra, as well as a partnership reading, on the same day. We have experienced the personal transformation Human Design offers, as well as a transformation in our quality of life and our relationship.

We are polar opposites — Dharmen is a black guy from Harlem, and Leela is a white girl from the Valley — East Coast/West Coast, black/white, male/female. Dharmen is a wide-open 1/3 Reflector on the RA Cross of the Unexpected, while Leela is a triple-split emotional 4/6 Generator on the RA Cross of Rulership.

We are open/very defined, non-emotional/very emotional, logical/abstract, and non-energy being/3-motor energy being. We also have the natural harmonic resonance between the 1/3 and 4/6 profiles. These opposing qualities, and the conditioning that comes with them, have often led to cultural, emotional, or value-driven conflicts between us. Human Design practice and discovering who we are beyond our conditioning have strengthened the harmony between these opposing qualities. 

Harmony in a partnership is a rare gift, certainly nothing that either of us had experienced in our lives prior to Human Design. It is due to the quality of life that we have found - as individuals and as partners- that has led us to share Human Design.

You are invited and asked to join us in our ongoing exploration of the unique, individual experience of being alive.

From Dharmen

My relationship with Human Design is simply my relationship with myself. As a 1/3 Reflector, I have a deeply investigative personality, which has translated into a profound and authoritative study of Human Design Analysis, Rave Cartography, Rave Psychology, and currently The Wisdom of Openness.
