If you’re tired of feeling confused about your calling and the particular qualities you can bring into the world, you’re in the right place.

You do not need to solve your whole life today.

You can begin by understanding where you’re at, what matters, and what your next true step may be.

DharmaFinder Journey is a live online group process for people who sense that their current work or way of living no longer fits, but do not yet know what their next true direction is.

Seven live online group sessions · Zoom · simple but powerful collaboration tools · guided reflection, peer exchange, mentoring and practical planning.

School of Simple Living — family community and simple life in nature

A place to begin

From where you are to where you could be.

You do not need to have every answer. The work begins by seeing your present situation honestly, then creating a direction that is meaningful and workable for your actual life. That’s it.

Where you are

Make sense of what is no longer working.

Perhaps life feels overfull, misaligned or harder than it needs to be. There may be a decision, transition or quiet knowing that deserves attention.

Where you could be

Move toward a life that fits.

Clarify what matters, choose a realistic direction and take a first step you can stand behind—without pretending there is one right life for everyone.

What you leave with

Your DharmaFinder Game Plan.

Over seven live sessions, you create a set of practical working documents and decisions that you can return to as your life develops.

What is no longer working

A clear statement of what is no longer working.

Current Reality Map

Resources, constraints, capacities and patterns.

To-Be direction

What you want to move towards.

Values and alignment picture

A clearer picture of what matters and what fits.

Working Golden Thread

Your emerging WHY and HOWs.

Practical roadmap

Goals, phases and checkpoints.

Readiness and first step

A readiness picture, first action and support request.

Part 1: Discovery & Game Plan

Seven sessions. One grounded direction.

Part 1 moves from honest reality to a practical first route forward. Each session combines guided reflection, practical tools, group exchange and individual work.

  • 1. Name What Is Not Working: See what is painful, stuck or out of alignment—and why change matters now.
  • 2. See Your Current Reality: Look honestly at your present resources, constraints, capacities and patterns.
  • 3. Design Your To-Be: Explore possible futures and clarify what would need to become true.
  • 4. Find What Is Truly Aligned: Test your direction against your own values, vision and deeper priorities.
  • 5. Find Your Golden Thread: Discover the contribution and impact that recur across your life.
  • 6. Chart Your Course: Turn your aligned direction into a credible route.
  • 7. Build Readiness & Take the First Step: Stress-test your plan, receive grounded feedback and decide what you will do next.

The DharmaFinder Journey

Begin with Part 1. Continue when the time is right.

Part 1 can stand as a complete and valuable process. The wider Journey offers future pathways from intention, to attention, to devotion.

Available now

Part 1 · Intention

Discover your direction and create your Game Plan.

Future pathway

Part 2 · Attention

Test, live, refine and deepen your direction in everyday life.

Future pathway

Part 3 · Devotion

Extend your contribution, influence and service beyond yourself.

This Journey may be for you if:

  • You sense that something in your life needs to change but do not yet have a coherent path.
  • You want to reduce unnecessary dependencies without acting impulsively or abandoning your responsibilities.
  • You are willing to examine your habits, commitments, assumptions and trade-offs honestly.
  • You want practical structure as well as reflection and spiritual orientation.
  • You are ready to apply the work to a real area of your life—not only to think about it.
  • You value guided partner and group practice alongside independent work.

This Journey is probably not for you if:

  • You want somebody else to prescribe the correct lifestyle for you.
  • You are unwilling to examine your own choices, patterns or trade-offs.
  • You want inspiration without exercises or practical application to real life.
  • You expect seven weeks to solve every life domain.
  • You expect one final, absolute answer to your purpose or calling.

The Simple Living High Thinking Mandala

A framework for finding your own way.

The Mandala is not a rigid seven-step formula, a personality label or a collection of disconnected tools. It is a living framework: a place where reflection, communication, planning and practical experimentation can work together.

People arrive at different points. Some need clarity about what is no longer working; others need to understand their values, test a future direction, make a difficult decision or turn insight into a practical plan. DharmaFinder offers a guided process and a thoughtful range of tools, while you remain the author of your own life.

More Than Another Information Course

Most courses give you more ideas. This Journey helps you work with your actual life.

The tools provide structure, but they do not make the decisions for you. The purpose is to strengthen your ability to see, choose, act, review and realign for yourself.

You can also start with the free DharmaFinder VPTI Test to discover your natural dharma path before beginning the Journey. The VPTI is a personality test that explores not only behaviour, strengths, and inner and outer motivation, but also consciousness, beliefs, childhood experiences and the wider patterns that shape your life.

A grounded transformation

This is not about copying someone else’s lifestyle. It is about becoming responsible enough to choose what serves life in your own context. Right now. And right here, where you are. Laying one foundational stone to create new pillars to shoulder your vision in increasingly potent ways. It might look humble in the beginning. Maybe it always stays like that. And maybe you want to continue growing your DharmaEcosystem. That is what I want to leave you with - the tools, techniques, processes, methods, principles, that enable you for now and continously to purposefully nurture your DharmaVision, DharmaPortfolio and more. Can´t wait to start :) !

Some people begin with decluttering. Others begin with food, homeschooling, remote work, land, community, spiritual practice, or leaving a career track that no longer feels true. The Journey can begin wherever life is asking for more honesty.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

When does the next cohort begin?

The next cohort starts 13 Oct 2026 and runs through 24 Nov 2026 (7 Tuesdays).

Weekly sessions 18:00–20:00 Lisbon / 19:00–21:00 Berlin. Register below. Early registrants receive priority access and pilot pricing.

Is this an online or in-person Journey?

The seven weekly live sessions are held online. The framework and outputs are designed for application to your real everyday life throughout. Optional in-person retreats and workshops exist separately.

Do I need to have the VPTI result first?

No—the Journey stands independently. The DharmaFinder VPTI can deepen your self-understanding before or during the Journey, but it is not a prerequisite.

What if I am unsure whether this Journey is right for me?

Start with the free DharmaFinder VPTI or the Mission & Method page. Register interest below and we will be in touch when the cohort opens.

Or join a DharmaFinder Masterclass first — a single live session in which we evaluate your VPTI profile together and explore what potency it carries for the unlived parts of your life. Upcoming masterclass date: 07 October 2026.
