supporting ourselves and others in
how it all started
Charu and Kanika met in the mid ’90s at Osho Ko Hsuan boarding school in Devon, England. They kept in touch regularly over the years and decided to meet up in Mallorca for a week holiday in 2012. One afternoon at the beach, looking out at the ocean they began mapping out their shared dream of a community project on this beautiful island. Little did they know, (Charu living in Berlin and Kanika in Amsterdam at the time), that barely 3 years later they would be realising this dream.
Since the day they began their venture to create DIMA, it seemed the stars were rigged in such a way to make this a magical and supported journey. The project has, since 2015, attracted many friends and helping hands. With all this amazing support and love over the years, DIMA has built a profound foundation for being a host of a Mystery School since 2022.
opening up to the mystery
When we look at the world today, we see and experience a lot of polarity and fragmentation around and within us. We believe this is due to the disconnection from ourselves, and thereby from others as well as nature. This creates an immense amount of suffering.
We feel it is time to be the change we want to see in the world. And that this process starts with ourselves. We also believe that we cannot do this alone. We need guidance and support in order to do so. Our purpose is to support ourselves and others to be the truth of who they are. In this, we open up to something greater than ourselves and call in divine intelligence to guide us.
Our vision is to live in a world in which we live in true connection with ourselves, others and nature. A world in which we live in love and peace. We feel it is our mission to create a field in which we can safely unravel, heal and integrate the places in ourselves that are disconnected.
life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived

the core values we live by
In order for us to create this safe field in which we can unravel, heal and integrate the disconnected parts of ourselves and live the truth of who we are, we live by the following five core values in DIMA.
Commitment. Not giving up in the face of difficulties.
Courage. Facing our fears.
Curiosity. Opening up to the unknown.
Vulnerability. Letting down our defences.
Surrender. Letting go of control and trusting the process.
We will continue to work on and unlearn everything that is in the way of embodying these qualities. We believe these five values are essential on the path towards greater connectedness.
cellular transformation as a lifestyle
The powerful modality of CT came to DIMA in 2018. After Kanika Frings, co-founder of DIMA, had experienced a CT workshop with Jennifer in Berlin, she resonated so deeply with the field and the way Jennifer held and guided the space, that it became clear that she wanted to integrate this work into DIMA’s community as a lifestyle. Only a couple of months later, during a fully booked workshop with Jennifer, DIMA’s community fell in love with CT, and CT with DIMA.
Little did Jennifer and Kanika know that this resonance would quickly lead to a shared understanding, passion, and calling to bring this powerful work into the world more, creating new ways for individuals to taste and embody CT, while offering in-depth access to its wisdom and teachings for those who are ready. With Jennifer as her teacher, Kanika learned rapidly how to take herself through the CT process and was encouraged by Jennifer to start facilitating CT circles within her community. Since 2021, CT has been an integral Book part of DIMA’s curriculum. The community has been committed to learning the language of energy in order to heal blind spots, re-awaken inherent clarity and power, and transform separation (within the field) into greater connection and trust. For both Jennifer and Kanika, and their respective communities in Texas and Mallorca, CT is not just a body of work, it is a way of living.
courage is a love affair with the unknown

dima’s team
With the transition of DIMA into a Mystery School in 2022, 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 the universe, we embarked into this adventure of being a mystery school with a core team of 8 people.
We have all committed for the whole year to be living in the mystery school. This means that we participate in both 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 a 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.
a big change in 2025
After 3 magical years with DIMA’s core team of the Mystery School, the universe made it clear it was time for a change for some of DIMA’s core team members. With Kanika handing over the torch after 9 years and spreading her work throughout Europe, Bibi and Maarten moving back to Holland to expand their family and create a new conscious business there and Vira sharing her gift with students of her Yin Akademie in Germany, energy has freed up for other, new and fresh souls who love DIMA and are committed and dedicated to live in and serve DIMA’s purpose of supporting ourselves and each other in being the truth of who we are. With Shan, Sidhamo and Deva holding the fort and guarding DIMA’s values and way of being and dear friends Kaja Gutterod from Norway and Rochelle Paijens from Holland joining, DIMA’s team for the coming year is as solid as it is new and fresh. Most importantly, it is fully committed to share the journey of life with each other and any and all friends, family and fellow travellers who seek truth and connection as much as they do.

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 practice embodying these places in ourselves, together.

It is such a unique experience to be part of a Mystery School and 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 are dedicated to the truth of their authentic self.

I chose DIMA following my intuition, my gut feeling and my heart. This is a safe container to go deeper into my inner journey, in trust, in full surrender. Here I am in service of something greater than me. I am honoured to be here with other courageous hearts, seeking truth, supporting each other and sharing depth and love.

DIMA is the place where true freedom and connection emerge by taking full ownership of our blind spots—those parts of ourselves we can't see and that keeps us separate. This is only possible in a community built on real love and commitment to Truth. It's in this space that we grow together—into deeper connection, greater freedom, slowly melting into the vast mystery of existence.

Stepping in to the big unknown and still feel like I am home, that’s how Dima feels to me! When I walk in there I never know what connections I will make, which fears I have to look in the eye or which patterns I have to break through and it always ends up in a warm bath of love, connection and a feeling of freedom. Dima is a place where everything is welcome as long as we are ready to dive deeper in ourselves, not always easy but the best gift of life!

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.

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.

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!
