Dhyan Anand van Schalkwijk (1965):
After graduating in ’88 at the HEAO in Company Informatics, I worked for 12 years with much contentment in the IT and as a teacher. All external wealth was there and yet I had frequently a sense that there was more in life. I started to search: drama, music, bodywork and did the 4-year School for Trainer Emotional Bodywork at Venwoude. Here I lived and worked (as trainer, masseuse and coach) for 9 years and I met Kabir. By meeting Osho, Ted Wilson, the Tantric Trainings of Hariprem & Gitama, meditation came in my life. An intense journey started. Meditation, Love, consiousness…a seed was planted that needs love, discipline, patience and playfulness for full growth. My life is now (more…) intense, mysterious and fulfilling.
Through OshoAkash we create a place to share and to meet in consiousness and love to celebrate life together.
My introduction to Osho was many years ago, through its active meditations and in contact with sannyasins; fascination and resistance simultaneously. There followed many years of intensive community life, especially in Venwoude. Again fascination and sufficient resistance to overcome. Recently, togehter with Anand, I visited various Osho communities in India and Nepal. My understanding of Osho’s work was greatly enriched and I have more silence in my own life now. Since 2005 I have specialized in cooking vegetarian meals for seekers on the path, which is nice to do. Spirituality and daily life come together in OshoAkash in a more intense form than previously.
