Most of the “big” names in today’s Human Design, be that the Jovian version or some “alternatives,” started out with New Sun Services’ classes. In 1997 I also created the very first Human Design website worldwide, The address is still used by Zen Human Design today, although the site has gone through a few changes.Īt the end of 1994, we participated in Ra’s first ever Teachers Training in Ibiza and, with 198 and 199 out of 200 possible points at the top of the class, we were officially made teachers of the Human Design System, with a life-long license. I recorded all of his classes and made them available for sale, first on cassette tapes and later, when the technology became available, as CDs. October 1, 1995: Zeno, Ra, Chaitanyo in Taos, NMĪs a graphic designer and recording artist, I created teaching materials for Ra, course materials for the students, advertising for the propaganda, published newsletters and took photographs. During Ra’s frequent visits and long stays in our house, she made sure he had everything he needed, cooked for him, washed his clothes, procured his pot, welcomed his guests, and so on. Zeno was the organizing part, organizing readings, lectures, classes, accommodations for the students coming from all over America and even abroad, interviews with Ra, and so on.
At Ra’s request our company was called New Sun Services America.įor the next seven years we worked tirelessly to establish Human Design in America. As far as I know, the two of us are the only ones of that group still actively involved with Human Design today.īefore he left, Ra drew up a contract and after signing it we were officially his representatives with the exclusive rights to the Human Design System in America. They were the first Human Designers in America, Zeno and I included. By the end of the year they were all certified as licensed Human Design Analysts by Ra. We got 10 people for the Basic Training, 8 of which then continued with the Advanced Training. His first introduction lecture in Taos drew close to 60 people and I dare say that this was the biggest live audience he ever had and would ever have.
THE HUMAN DESIGN SYSTEM TV
December 3, 1993: Ra during a TV interview in Taos, NM, promoting his "black book." He would stay with us in our little humble house for six weeks, the first of many long stays in the following years. Toward the end of November 1993, three months after our friend had left, I drove down to the airport in Albuquerque and picked Ra up. We worked out the schedules and reserved the spaces and started advertising in our own magazine and in other publications around New Mexico. Eight days of class would be sufficient for him to convey the entire Human Design System as it was revealed to him. Email didn’t exist at that time and so Ra called us and asked whether we would be interested in hosting him and organizing introduction lectures and a Basic and Advanced training. Our friend went back to Switzerland and soon thereafter met Ra again and told him about us and the magazine we were publishing.
Looking at the pictures of the body graphs, and with the explanations of the mechanics by our friend, we had an easy time to recognize ourselves in them and we were impressed. No computer program existed at that time. In the summer of 1993, a friend from Switzerland visited us and he brought us our Human Design charts. We worked hard and barely scraped by, but it was a beautiful magazine, entertaining, educational and artistic. One of our first covers showed the face of a Swiss watch without hands. It was a small town with a big sky, plenty of sunshine and a large population of creative and alternative types, had two health food stores and lousy graphic designers, the former fulfilling one of Zeno’s conditions, the latter one of mine.īy the time our meager insurance money had dwindled, we were publishing an alternative monthly magazine, the Taos Time, a pun on the local attitude toward time. January 6, 1992: Chaitanyo and Zeno with the ruin of their house in SwitzerlandĪfter being shaken out of Zeno's home state, California, by a 7.0 earthquake and after traveling around and looking for a while, we decided to settle in Taos, New Mexico. With the money from the insurance, we decided to move to the US and start from scratch over there. She and her daughter moved into my house which then burned down two years later. Zeno and I met in Switzerland in 1990 and fell in love with each other. I’ve been meditating for almost 50 years by now.
My parents gave me a Christian name, but I prefer to be called by my real name, Chaitanyo, which was given to me by one of my meditation teachers along the way. The accent you hear when I talk is Swiss-German. I was born in Switzerland and lived there for the first half of my life. The following is a description of its genesis by Chaitanyo. Zen Human Design educates in the original Human Design System, based on its presentation by Ra Uru Hu in the early 1990s.
