Finding Your Passenger: A Journey of Consciousness in Form
A 3-Part Interactive Clinic for the Human Design Experiment
with Dharmen & Leela Swann-Herbert
Sundays, December 13, 20, and 27 at 19 UTC Online Zoom Classroom
This clinic spans 3 weekly sessions: one profound transmission to set the mechanics and personal experiments, followed by two interactive discussion classes to share our lived, somatic explorations
Join us for these three weeks.
Step out of the intellect, let the vehicle take the wheel, and discover what the Passenger experience feels like for you.
This Clinic Will Challenge You To:
Stop making HD a mental construct: recognize how the mind uses mechanics as a defense and interference to avoid direct experience.
Survive the Ego’s Tantrum: navigate the physical and psychological friction that arises when you stop trying to “figure life out.”
Experience True Receptivity: see what the 1% Reflector archetype teaches us about the future of passenger consciousness and letting go of fixed agendas.
Embrace the Sensate Vehicle: move from analyzing life to deeply experiencing it.
Life is not the point. Life is the journey to become aware of the point.
The events of our lives are not the destination. They are merely the sensory environment that lets the pure witness within us wake up. We are not here to author our life; we are here to consciously experience the ride.

Join Leela for an essential two-part live experience that offers deep mechanical insights into the shift from the Cross of Planning to the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix—paired with an open group discussion to share what we are actively observing and experiencing as the transition unfolds.
Finding Your Passenger: A Journey of Consciousness in Form
You know the mechanics. You know the concept of The Passenger, Vehicle, and Driver. You can articulate the difference between Inner and Outer Authority, and you know, conceptually, that you are supposed to be the Passenger. But let's be honest: is your mind still trying to drive the vehicle?
For many long-time students and professionals, Human Design has quietly become just another "talking practice." They exchange views, dissect charts, and inadvertently use Strategy and Authority as new mental tools to control outcomes and "author" lives. They accumulate information, but the daily, moment-by-moment lived experience remains unchanged.
Passive intellectual knowledge is useless data. Information for information’s sake is no longer enough. Knowing about Passenger Consciousness and experiencing it within are not the same.
True transformation requires radical practice. This is not just information for its own sake; it is a 3-week immersive clinic designed to give you the map, the experiment, and the support to fundamentally shift how you experience being alive. Practical experiments allow you to explore the signposts with coaching and feedback.
This 3-part clinic is not about teaching more theory. It is an experiential crucible designed to move you from communicating about HD information towards genuine communion. It is about retiring the backseat driver, surviving the ego's tantrum, and experiencing the profound, sensate reality of the vehicle you inhabit.
The Clinic Structure
This clinic spans 3 weekly sessions: one profound transmission to set the mechanics and personal experiments, followed by two interactive discussion classes to share our lived, somatic explorations.
Week 1: Lecture Class & Personal Experiments
We begin with a profound exploration of the quantum vehicle's mechanics. We will map the Triad of your existence—the Body/Mind (Vehicle), the Magnetic Monopole (Driver), and the Passenger — as we explore the macro-evolution of the waking planet. You will leave this session with specific, personal experiments: practical ways to recognize the mind, surrender to the intelligence of the form, and practice the active verb of experiencing.
Week 2: The Friction of Surrender (Discussion Class 1)
When you try to sit in the passenger’s seat, the mind does not go quietly—it may throw a tantrum. In our first discussion class, we will share the raw reality and the friction we encountered in our weekly experiments. We will unpack the "void of terror" the ego creates when it loses its control, and contrast it with the cellular, somatic sigh of relief the physical body experiences when the form is finally allowed to navigate without interference.
Week 3: The Cosmic Joke & Coming Home (Discussion Class 2)
In our final gathering, we move entirely from communication into communion. We will discuss the realities of living in the sensate world as the pure witness. This week is about finding the lightness—learning to laugh at the mind's ridiculous attempts to control the uncontrollable, and realizing who you truly are.
Life is not the point. Life is the journey to become aware of the point.
Join us for these three weeks.
Step out of the intellect, let the vehicle take the wheel, and discover what the Passenger experience feels like for you.
Pluto’s Path of Rebirth
In December 2025, a vast 246-year evolutionary cycle came to a close as Pluto, the force of mutation and transformation, completed its transit around the Rave Mandala Wheel.
This cycle began with the Industrial Age and is now ending with the Information Age, successfully reshaping human life by guiding the development of the 9-
Centered consciousness. As Pluto completes this long journey and begins a new cycle, it prepares humanity for the next major evolutionary phase: the Rave mutation that will emerge with the new Global Cycle starting in 2027.
In this lecture, Dharmen and Leela explore this period, examine the key transits that shaped the 9-Centered mutation, and look at how Pluto’s new cycle is influencing the future.

The Passenger, the Vehicle, and the Driver
Who is the passenger? Who is the vehicle? Who is the driver?
The primary experiment in Human Design is to surrender our life to the body’s intelligence. We experiment with following our strategy and trusting our inner Authority to guide our decision-making. Through this surrender, we consciously experience for the first time that the thinking mind is not in control. We begin to experience life with less resistance.
However, even with less resistance, our deeply conditioned thoughts and habits still cause our minds to mismanage our lives. The main challenge is learning how to stop identifying with these conditioned thoughts. How do we stop letting the mind drive?
Dharmen and Leela break down the essential analogy of the Passenger, the Vehicle, and the Driver. Learn the practical steps to overcome your deepest conditioning and finally experience life from your true self.

The Nodes of Transition
The Nodes of the transit field create a conditioned, homogenized worldview that influences how we see, interpret, and act in the world. The challenge is that we are easily conditioned to think this external viewpoint is our own, even though each of us is designed with a unique nodal perspective.
In this lecture, Dharmen and Leela explore the nodal views of 2026 and 2027 in detail. By understanding these themes, we can see that we don’t have to follow the world’s homogenized interpretations and can develop our own unique viewpoint.

The Neptune Chronicles: Past, Present, and Future
In 2009, Ra explained Neptune’s crucial role in the transformative shifts we’ll see leading up to 2027. The key takeaway was that Neptune is acting as a hidden catalyst and activator for the new, energetic, mutative field that will emerge in 2027.
In this lecture, Dharmen and Leela explore Neptune’s vital role as the hidden catalyst for the emerging mutative field. We will examine how its powerful movements have shaped our 9-Centered development and current transition, ultimately enhancing our potential for awareness as we approach 2027.

Uranus: Breakthrough from the Old to the New
The discovery of Uranus marked the emergence of our 9-Centered human experience. This planetary breakthrough expanded our cosmic understanding and significantly transformed how we perceive our place in the universe. We have shifted from a Saturnian worldview to a Uranian way of life, where our lifespan, deconditioning process and 7-year cycles are all connected to Uranus’s movement. Uranus acts as a powerful primordial cosmic barrier that had to be broken to enable change, evolution, and the emergence of a new potential for humanity.
In this lecture, Dharmen and Leela explore Uranus’s profound, transformative influence on human life— past, present, and future. They offer a fresh look at key planetary transits as we approach 2027, revealing how this powerful force shapes our existence.

The Revolution of Spirit: Fueling the 2027 Mutation
Gate 49 and Gate 55 are essential gates of the Solar Plexus Center that fuel the eventual emergence of the Rave Mutation.
Even though they belong to different channels, they share the same hexagram foundation. Importantly, both gates carry the same Histidine codon, which is undergoing mutation to usher in a genetically based evolution of consciousness. As we approach 2027, understanding how these two gates fuel this Revolution of Spirit is crucial.
Leela’s lecture explores Gate 49 and Gate 55, tracing their influence from the Rave Wheel to the next Global Consciousness Cycle, through changes in the Solar Plexus Center, and the emerging Rave Mutation. Join her in this journey to recognize and skillfully navigate the powerful forces of change as they unfold around us, all while maintaining the integrity of who we uniquely are.

The Children of Our Future: 2002-2027
The discovery of Eris and Dysnomia in 2005 was truly an act of celestial discord that redefined the Solar System, leading to the creation of the dwarf planet category and Pluto’s demotion from planet status.
These events are leading us to a split in humanity’s connection with Pluto’s influence. The irony here is that we are the medium, but no longer Pluto’s mutative message. The subsequent evolutionary development will come through humans, but they will not be like us.
In this lecture, Leela examines how Pluto’s position in the Rave Chart influences those born between 2002 and 2027. She specifically focuses on Pluto’s transformative effect on these children. This generation carries an essential evolutionary blueprint with the potential to become the parents of the upcoming Rave or 9-Centered children in the new cycle beginning after 2027. This lecture will highlight the transformative message these pioneering generations bring to a world undergoing profound change.

Your Guide to Rave Year 2026
We are energetically experiencing mutation in action. We may not live to see the result, but these are the moments when transits are shaping the future of humanity. How do we navigate 2026?
In 2026, we will face significant planetary trends. Some will affect the breakdowns in our current global cycle, while others will align with the start of a new global consciousness cycle. It is a time of transition. Recognizing these influences will be key to navigating the year ahead.
In this lecture, Dharmen and Leela explore specific aspects of the 2026 Rave Year and how examining the relationship with the Global Cycles can help us navigate the pervasive uncertainty, conflict, and disruption shaping the world.

As teachers, Dharmen and Leela complement each other. They are the first to admit that they often disagree, as each has their own unique viewpoint and expression based on their individual experiences with Human Design since 1999. They were direct students of Ra from 1999 until his passing, bringing a unique depth of wisdom and understanding.
In class discussions, they offer a range of insights and supportive feedback that can help you recognize your unique viewpoint and expression based on your personal experiment with Human Design.
From 2007 – 2010, they presented the Daily Neutrino Forecast on the Jovian Archive Radio, Mondays through Fridays at Ra’s request.
In 2008, Ra invited them to be faculty teachers at the IHDS, where they have offered general interest through advanced analyst certification courses for 18 years.
In 2012, they started presenting and still present the annual Rave New Year Forecast for Jovian Archive, continuing Ra’s work.
At Ra’s request, they have published three eBooks on Human Design. They plan to publish more books on topics Ra requested in the future.
