Team

DIMA’s team consists of a bunch of souls who all commit and dedicate their lives to supporting themselves and eachother in being the truth of who they are. Both the organisational team of the community center and the facilitators of the curriculum welcome everyone to share the journey of unlearning everything that is not real.

Walking the talk

With the transition of DIMA into it’s 7th year, a team was naturally born. Initiated from a heart-felt purpose and vision, and backed up and supported by the energy in the field and in the universe, we step into this adventure of being a mystery school with a core team of 9 people.

We have all committed for the whole year to be living in the mystery school. This means that we participate in the school’s curriculum as well as in the household shifts of the community center. Every single one of us will be ‘doing the work’; from being a student in each wisdom cycle to cleaning toilets and cooking dinner. We are all unique human beings and bring different flavour and gift to the field, yet we vow by treating everyone equally. We are all students of life.

Our hearts run wild for the quests of truth. We love and choose to live our lives with people who share this deep longing for truth, are willing to do the work and in doing open up to something greater than ourselves and call in the intelligence of the universe.

Living a mystery

What do we mean when we refer to mystery? How is it to live in a mystery school? Why did we all commit to this mystery?
Although a mystery literally means: ‘Something that is difficult or impossible to understand or explain’, we all gave it a try. Meet DIMA’s team below.

In my opinion the truly beautiful things in life do not sprout from control or security and expectation will eventually reap suffering. To me the mystery means to truly surrender to the unknown, to let go and take life's lessons as they come. To jump in the fire without fear or hesitation, because it will only burn what isn't real.

To me…
Mystery is curiosity
Mystery is fire
Mystery is depth
Mystery is silence
Mystery is compassion
To me, this mystery school is a place where we get to practise embodying these places in ourselves, together.

Existence is a mystery, and one should accept it as a mystery, not look for explanations No, explanation is not needed - only exclamation, a wondering heart, awakened, surprised, feeling the mystery of life each moment. Then, and only then you know what truth is. And truth liberates! -Osho - For me, this is what a Mystery School is all about!

Becoming more aware, more free, more loving is what I always was looking for. The modern and ancient Toolbox we use here is big and its like watering a precious plant. The way this plant, call it Self, call it Being ... grows, moves and expands is beyond my imagination. Its an Unknown Place. Hands empty. Full Trust. It’s a Commitment. A Discipline. A Surrender. It's a Mystery School without really defining it. For me it’s Love!

Sidhamo

It is such a unique experience to live in mystery school community where every single person is dedicated to going deeper within themselves, to unlearn all of the programs we have created as defence mechanisms, and to truly learn to listen to the language of the universe. The true gift is getting to be surrounded by the kind of people who seek out and are dedicated to the truth of their authentic self.

It is like being in a pressure cooker. A high-speed vehicle for growth. It is both an enormous challenge and an enormous gift that leaves you feeling like a week is packed into a day, measured by the depth and versatility of experiences that one encounters during daily life in a community committed to internal development and external service. It is like a Love affair, a way of life, a choiceless choice. Not always an easy ride, but definitely a worthwhile one.

To me personally it is all about letting go of control, of learning how to trust and surrender. To be able to live life freely, spontaneously, openly. Without any expectations or should’s and could’s. I am learning to bow down and say yes to everything that is happening, whether I like it or not. To find my true strength and power in allowing rather than forcing or pushing.
