School of Simple LivingStart the free DharmaFinder Test

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.

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.

Dharma

What do we mean by Dharma?

Dharma is not merely a belief we can change or a profession we choose. It is our inseparable constitutional characteristic, just as heat and light cannot be separated from fire, or sweetness from sugar.

The living being always serves someone or something. The question is: how can our occupation, abilities and experience be aligned with the Divine and engaged in meaningful service?

DharmaFinder Journey helps us explore how what we have been given can become an expression of that service.

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.

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.

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: Thursday, 12 November 2026, 17:00–19:00 WET.

Is the DharmaFinder framework a fixed formula?

No. The Simple Living High Thinking Mandala is a flexible navigation and review framework. It helps you begin where your life is asking for attention while you remain the author of your own direction.
