Choose the Unknown - facilitated by Sw. Anand Tathagat and Sw. Vivekanand
Life means readiness to go into the uncalculated, unscheduled.
Life means to be ready always to listen to the challenge that comes
from the unknown source. It is dangerous, but to live is dangerous.
The most secure and safe place in the world is the grave -- there,
nothing ever happens. - Osho, Secret of Secrets
Right from the time we enter the world, life keeps inviting us and
calling us to explore. There are changes offered all along the path
and opportunity always waiting and encouraging us to step in and explore
a little more than what we already know. But to get anywhere near
that thrill of exploration involves first of all recognizing an opportunity
as an invitation and really having to leave the familiarity of the
shore(not just philosophizing).
Come. Let us experiment and understand our own attitude towards the
unknown in these four days. We will consciously try and create opportunity
to live beyond what our mind knows us to be and wants us to remain.
Being open, working with Osho meditations and therapies, we never
know what we end up discovering about ourselves.

from friendship to friendliness --that can be said to be my whole
religion.

negative belief systems and repressions thereby allowing us to live
a more free, spontaneous and joyous life. The three elements of Laughter,
Tears and Meditation, a three-week process, lasting three hours per
day combine to create a dynamic Meditative Therapy, a new concept
combining the western approach of therapy and the eastern knowledge
of meditation, a profound process for personal transformation. As
there is no talking during the three hours of the process, this is

Osho's No Mind Group by Ma Prem Leela (In English language only)
This is a week long process.
The first stage of this process is "Gibberish" The word
'gibberish' comes from a Sufi mystic, Jabbar. Jabbar never spoke any
language, he just uttered nonsense. Still he had thousands of disciples
because what he was saying was, "Your mind is nothing but gibberish.
Put it aside and you will have a taste of your own being."
In the first stage one has to simply allow whatever comes to the mind
without bothering about its rationality, reasonability, meaning, significance,
leaving language and mind aside. Out of this will arise the second
part a great silence in which you sit with closed eyes. Gathering
the energy within and being present in here and now.

Art of Living and Dying facilitated by Sw. Veetman (In English language
only)
Understanding
Death- Living a fearless life
Often
we fail to live our lives to the fullest because mind is the illusion
of time, of past and future. We imagine that there is an infinite
amount of time, and so we continue to postpone living an authentic
life. The mind ´s tendency is to postpone, and this makes us
live in a dream of desires and hopes for the future. Unconsciously
we deny the fact of our mortality and close our awareness to what
is real and present in front of us. In this way we dream our life
rather than live it, and our fear of death continues to diminish the
quality of our lives. Only a fearless consciousness can awaken to
its full potential.

Mystery of Love facilitated by Ma Yoga Neelam (In English language

All over the world there is only one desire: for love. And all over
the world there is only one complaint: I am not getting any love.
Love is not something to be obtained from the outside. Love is an
inner flowering. It arises from some dormant energy within. In this
group, Ma Neelam shares some powerful meditation tools for the opening
and purifying of the heart and rejoicing in the mystery of love.

Dance, Body, Earth facilitated by Ma Navanita (In English language

The body is the greatest mystery in the whole of existence. This mystery
needs to be loved -its mysteries, its functions to be intimately inquired
into." Osho
This group celebrates the life of the body-the mysteries, adventures
and potentialities that a human bodily life dances. It is oriented
on intuitive and scientific experimentation and is an invitation to
inhabit a place without words. It is "experiential' because you
will perceive, move, and out of the moving body, source your own understanding
and innate, healing wisdom.
Natural dance, somatic movement, embodied anatomy; embryology studies,
infant movement development, creativity, playfulness and meditation
are navigating tools we will be playing with to get to know your own
body and its embodied consciousness.

Osho Neo Zen: in Meditation & Celebration facilitated by Sw. Satya
Vedant
We are born with immense life energy and a radiance of love and joy.
Because of our habits, patterns and conditionings the awareness of
the inner light gets lost. Meditation and an in depth understanding
of our unawareness alone can lead us into a self rejuvenating endless
journey of discovering the hidden secrets of joy, peace and personal
transformation. We shall learn from Osho that to meditate means to
be aware moment to moment and celebrate life in abundant joy.

Osho Neo Vipassana facilitated by Sw. Chaitanya Keerti
Osho Neo-Vipassana is not traditional Vipassana. It is not so dull
and serious. It is very dynamic, energetic and playful. Osho explains:
First you have to dance, first you have to shout in joy, and sing,
and so your life becomes more vital. First you have to cathart, so
all that you have repressed is thrown out and your body is purified
of toxins and poisons, and your psyche also is purified from repressed
traumas and wounds. When this has happened and you have become able
to laugh and you have become able to love, then vipassana. Now vipassana
will not drive you serious, will not drive you in any way into some
ego trip. Now you can sit silently; now sitting silently is not serious.
That is the special quality that I am trying to create here in vipassana
-- it does not exist anywhere in the world.

Born Again Meditation Group facilitated by Sw. Ravindra
This is a process that takes place for two hours a day, over seven
days. For the first hour, participants take the space and freedom
to behave as children. For the second hour, they sit silently, doing
nothing.
"In these days I want to throw you back to the point where you
started being 'good' as against being natural. Be playful so your
childhood is regained. It will be difficult because you will have
to put aside your masks, your faces; you will have to put aside your
personality. But remember, the essence can assert itself only when
your personality is not there, because your personality has become
an imprisonment. Put it aside. It will be painful, but it is worth
it because you are going to be reborn out of it. And no rebirth is
possible without pain. If you are really determined to be reborn,
and then take the risk" Osho.

Osho Sufi meditation camp is a retreat for seekers who wish to dance
and celebrate. The mantra of Sufi path is - bliss inside and celebration
outside. Osho's Sufi meditation techniques set seekers to tread the
path of love- dancing and celebrating. Splendid rhythms and music
from the land of Sufis create an enchanting atmosphere. Devotional
Sufi kafis, kawaalis and poetry, in addition to Sufi anecdotes told
by Osho also lead the way ahead in the purpose. Stories of sufi masters
like Rabia, Hassan. Mansoor, Junnaid, Farid, Saadi, Hussain and many
more take us to a point where we feel the real essence of Sufism.

Accepting Yourself facilitated by Ma Prem Noorie
This is a four day retreat in the heavenly serenity of Osho Nisarga
and to rejoice in our own being with self-acceptance. The more we
learn to accept ourselves the more we become accepting towards others.
This acceptance makes our life harmonious, full of love and its fragrance.
Our life becomes meaningful.
Osho says," We are here to fulfill a certain purpose. Everyone is
here to sing a song, to dance a dance, to release a certain perfume.
This is only possible when you meditate and see yourself and accept
yourself and everything around you. You realize your uniqueness that
God has not made another person like you and will never create another
person like you. That's his way of showing respect to you. When you
accept this, you become aware of all the wonders inside you and begin
to experience the beauty all around you.

Osho Bhakti Shivir facilitated by Ma Dharma Jyoti (In Hindi language
only)
We are all hung up in the head that is our main problem, perhaps the
only problem. And the solution to this problem is to get down from
the head to the heart. With the heart there is sensitivity, love,
music, poetry and all the juiciness of life.
Come and join the caravan of celebration! An opportunity to sing,
dance, laugh and play with some of His meditation techniques and go
within.
Osho says, "Heart is the gateless gate to reality. Move from the head
to the heart."
June
23-26
Dance Your Way to God facilitated by Ma Yoga Neelam
God is nothing but life itself. A meditator comes to realize this
in his deep meditation, deep prayer and becomes filled with reverence
for all life. Osho says: There is no logical proof for God, but when
you are overflowing with joy, when you can dance with joy, in that
dance gratitude arises on its own accord. Thankfulness, a prayer,
is born, and in that prayer you are reborn. In that prayer not only
you are reborn, God is born too. God is, he has not to be searched
for. God already is, you are not to discover him. All you have to
do is dance a mad dance; you have to dance in such a mad way that
all the doors are thrown open. You have to sing with such totality
that the ego dissolves into that totality. You have to be in prayer,
in gratitude, with such passion and intensity that the whole starts
flowing towards you; your waiting becomes a magnetic field.

Ayurvedic Yoga Massage Training facilitated by Sw. Antar Khirad
The human body is a living Temple. Connecting with the body, being
aware of it and cleansing it from blockages is vital to the physical,
mental and spiritual health of all human beings.
In this therapy training we will be working with two ancient sciences
of India - Yoga and Ayurvedic Massage. This massage combines deep
penetrating strokes with yoga based stretches, which are gentle, orderly
and progressive. The postures are adjusted to meet the conditions
and needs of each receiver. The massage is done with special herbs
and oils to stimulate blood circulation and help release toxins. Other
benefits of this massage include, improving posture, breathing, flexibility,
mobility and restoring energetic balance.
You will be giving and receiving massage within the group and also
training in yoga theory and will practice basic Asanas, Pranayam and
Shudhikriya.
Osho says, "Massage is to come to rapport with aliveness of somebody
else's body and to feel where it is missing, to feel where the body
is fragmentary and to make it whole
to help the energy of the body
so it is no more fragmentary, no more contradictory. When the energies
of the body are falling into line and become an orchestra, then you
succeed."
We invite you to join us to learn this sacred art and share this sensitivity
with others.

A meditation through movement, an intensive retreat of self-observation
and self-remembrance, through the practices of Gurdjieff Movements,

and to enter intimately in contact with the richness of our body,

in our daily life some harmony between our three centers: physical,
emotional and intellectual.

Osho Divine Healing Arts facilitated by Sw.Anand Dhiren (In English
language only)
A Basic Course in Osho Healing: Hara Heart and Hands
When Osho gave us the name for the Osho Divine Healing Arts training
more than 23 years ago, his message was that 'Healing is neither western
nor oriental-in essence it is 'divine'. This course represents the
basic training; inspired by Osho's vision of the new man, the meeting
of Zorba and Buddha.
It begins as a meditation retreat - an individual healing journey
where we learn to recharge ourselves with vital energy and with the
joy of life.
We will go on to learn some of the ancient techniques of healing touch,
movement and massage through practice, exploration and theory. This
basic course is called 'Hara, Heart and Hands'. Hara is the Japanese
word for our physical and energetic centering, Heart is the spiritual
heart of compassion and transformation, and Hands are not just our
tools as healers, but also the bridge from the inner to the outer-the
transmitters of a meditative space through which healing can happen.
The course is open to all, regardless of previous experience, and
for many it means a re-discovery of the body's natural wisdom and
harmony, enabling us to respond to the demands of life with balance,
centering and vitality. You will be learning:
- Osho's insights on healing mind/body/spirit
- The basic principles of Shiatsu massage
- Exercises from the Oriental healing traditions to promote health
and self-healing
- Osho Divine Healing exercises to open the pathways of vital energy
in the body
- Hara massage and diagnosis
- Some of the most important pressure points on the body
- Introduction to the 5 phase, and Yin and Yang theory
- A short form of the course 'The Osho Therapist' where we look at
the issues of working with others and learn about ourselves as therapists
Hara ,Heart and Hands happens in a playful experimental atmosphere,
focused yet balanced with laughter, dance and sharing.

Tantra Meditation Retreat facilitated by Ma Ananda Sarita and Team.
(In English language only)
This retreat, which explores methods from the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra
in an experiential format, is designed for both couples and singles.
It is a powerful way to dive into our expansive potential through
the 12 facets of Tantra. The group structure includes group sharing
and periods of silence, quiet and active meditations, movement and
dance, Tantra rituals and group/partner exercises. It is very special
to have the opportunity of bringing together both Indians and Westerners
in this Retreat, bringing Tantra back to its source in the Himalayas.
Indians have the opportunity of proudly embracing their phenomenal
spiritual heritage. As east and west melt together in this group,
we discover the power of Tantra to create a union of opposites, bringing
enrichment to all.
During this retreat we practice Tantra methods, taken from the Vigyan
Bhairav Tantra, a 5000 year old scripture comprised of 112 methods
for the expansion of consciousness. The retreat is offered one time
per year. Each year for three consecutive years, we offer one third
of the 112 methods. This means, over a three-year period, you have
the opportunity of practicing most of the methods offered in the Vigyan
Bhairav Tantra. You can enter this three year stream wherever it suits
you. There is no sequential order to follow. You can likewise, participate
in just one or two of the retreats. There is no commitment required
to participate in all three.
The build-up, refinement and transformation of many facets of life
force energy during this retreat invite an orgasmic awareness of one's
full sensual being. Within a few days, you may sense an on-going ecstatic
connection between body and soul, matter and spirit. It is a rare
opportunity to explore these powerful Tantra methods, in a highly
supportive environment. In this way, we distill the nectar of our
being to its ultimate potency.

Who Is In? facilitated by Sw. Prem Jayadip (In English language only)
AIM: Awareness Intensive Meditation - Who is In?
During this meditation process, asking Osho's modern day Zen Koan
"Who is in?" cuts through the layers of personality swiftly and clearly,
and it takes us straight to the core, to our center of witnessing.
Osho gave a lot of attention and emphasis to this group.
The structure of this meditative process is a blend between the Eastern
traditional Zen technique of Koan asking and the modern psychoanalytic
sharing and listening approach - is scientifically designed to focus
our total energy into the search for who we really are.
Intensity and totality is required to go beyond the masks and pretensions
we usually believe we are. As the koan is asked again and again, as
the koan is answered moment to moment, a greater awareness of and
a detachment from our identifications with the personality begins
to develop. Once this identification is experientially understood,
it declines; we start shifting toward the center of our Being. A new
sense of bliss and a deep relaxation with that what is arises.
Nobody else's answer can be of any help. The question is yours;
the answer has to be yours too! Osho
During this residential group, you will be in silence and isolation
to the outside world. With your booking request, you will receive
further information on how to prepare yourself for this retreat.

Make this Dance Meditation Camp a gift to yourself. Have a distance
from your daily routine, your family, your work. Give yourself the
time for relaxation, rejuvenation and celebration. Participating in
such a meditation camp is like entering a Buddha field. You are going
to be deeply touched and transformed by it.
Osho says "If you can dance and dance deeply, so deeply that the dancer
disappears in the dance, the problems will change, because in that
disappearance of the dancer, the ego will disappear and you will have
a look at reality without the ego. That is the only transforming force.
That is the only radical revolution."

Tantra Pran Sadhana Shivir facilitated by Sw. Chaitanya Keerti
"Breath is the bridge between matter and no-matter, between the form
and the formless. And much depends on the breath, how you breathe,
what the quality of your prana is. It is through breathing that you
will enter into the innermost core of your existence. Hence in Yoga,
in Tantra, in Tao -- in all these three great systems and sciences
of human consciousness and the expansion of human consciousness --
breathing is one of the key phenomena. Tantra says, change your system
of breathing; observe your own breathing and your moods, and you will
become aware. Tantra developed many techniques of changing the rhythm
of breath. It has used many, many breathing rhythms as secret keys.
And when you can watch your breath for forty-eight minutes as a continuum,
you will become enlightened. To attain those forty-eight minutes may
take years, but it need not be postponed for another life, it can
happen in this life. It all depends on your intensity". Osho

Celebrate Now-Here
It has become almost a tradition to celebrate the transition between
the last day of the year and the first day of the coming year. But
in reality all days are the same, especially for those who meditate.
At Osho Nisarga, the meditators come together to meditate and celebrate
to be Here-Now-No past, No future. And the Happy New Year begins with
Happy-Now-Here. Celebrating life each moment as it comes.
"So my sannyasin has to learn love, life, laughter. I want to create
a temple which knows how to celebrate, whose only worship will be
festivity, whose only prayer will be dance, love, and who will know
how to participate in this life -- not to live for another life but
to be totally Here-Now. Because God knows no other time than Now and
no other space than Here, the real temple of God can be made only
out of two bricks: those two bricks are Now and Here". Osho

Mystery
of Love facilitated by Ma Yoga Neelam
All
over the world there is only one desire: for love. And all over the
world there is only one complaint: I am not getting any love.
Love
is not something to be obtained from the outside. Love is an inner
flowering. It arises from some dormant energy within. In this group,
Ma Neelam shares some powerful meditation tools for the opening and
purifying of the heart and rejoicing in the mystery of love.

Conscious
Living and Dying facilitated by Ma Dharam Jyoti
This
group is an invitation for those seekers who are willing to live with
more awareness and want to come out of the imprisonment of the mind.
Normally mind lives in an unconscious state. One goes on in a circle
on the periphery repeating the same thing again and again. In this
group we will have another look at our lives and experiment with some
of Osho's techniques which can help us to jump out of this repetitive
vicious circle and rediscover our real being in its purity.
Osho
says, "Unless you live consciously, you can't die consciously.
Death becomes the ultimate celebration if your life is a celebration."
Existence
goes on giving us beautiful opportunities again and again.......here
is one more!!

Compassionate
Communication- A Language of the Heart by Sw. Veet Kamaal and Ma Prem
Aastha (In English language only)
Compassionate Communication, also known as non-violent communication
(NVC), is a "language of life" that helps us to transform
old patterns of defensiveness and aggressiveness into compassion and
empathy and to improve the quality of all of our relationships. As
the name implies, this approach to communication emphasizes compassion
as the motivation for action rather than fear, guilt, shame, blame,
coercion, threat or justification for punishment.

Hypnosis
and Meditation facilitated by Sw. Veet Kamaal (In English language
only)
Making
friends with your mind and letting go into witnessing
Understanding
the functioning of the mind The power of the subconscious
Experiencing deep relaxation and letting go Learning the art
of self-hypnosis.
We
will find out why Osho had such a high opinion of hypnosis and the
witnessing it reveals:
As
far as I am concerned, hypnosis is going to be one of the most significant
parts of the mystery school. Such a simple method, which only demands
a little trust, a little innocence, can bring miraculous changes in
your life and not in ordinary things only. Slowly it can become
the path of your meditation.
You
meditate, but you dont succeed. You dont succeed in watching;
you get mixed up with thoughts, you forget watching. You remember
later on, I was going to watch, but I am thinking. Hypnosis
can help you; it can make the watcher and the thoughts separate. For
spiritual growth I dont think there is anything more important
than hypnosis. Osho Beyond Psychology #44

Osho
Dhyan Utsav facilitated by Sw. Atmo Ninad
Osho

meditations and therefore celebration happens spontaneously. Also

vision of right food, right exercise and the right sleep will also
be shared and the meditations based on them would also be conducted.
Osho
Meditative Therapies are group energy processes that lead to body
mind cleansing and with that a deep inner silence follows. Participants
will have a taste of these powerful processes in the demo of these
therapies. During the camp, participants will have a deeper understanding
of the subconscious mind and also have an experience of hypnosis.
Through the hypnosis, it is possible to have a better health and a
deeper meditation.

the camp, friends who are willing to add meditation and celebration
in their lives can be initiated into Oshos neo-sannyas.

Osho
Neo Vipassana facilitated by Sw. Chaitanya Keerti
Down
the centuries there have been all kinds of methods of meditation--some
easy to practise and some very difficult. Vipassana is really unique.
Osho says: "Vipassana is the simplest meditation in the world.
It is through vipassana that Buddha became enlightened, and it is
through Vipassana that many more people have become enlightened than
through any other method. Vipassana is the method. Yes, there are
other methods also, but they have helped only very few people. Vipassana
has helped thousands, and it is really very simple; is not like yoga."
A 7-day retreat to witness our body, mind, heart, the breathing process
and relax into a natural and tranquil atmosphere of Osho Nisarga.
Slow meditative walks near the river and into the green fields and
forests.

Meditate:Celebrate facilitated by Ma Prem Noorie (In Hindi language
only)
My
work here is to create such a situation where you can go to the deepest
core of meditation and yet remain available to celebration. Then you
will be silent and happy. You will be silent and there will be a joy
suffusing your silence. Your silence will not be uncreative: your
silence will have great creation arising out of it. It will not be
dull-it will be very shining, it will have a kind of gusto, verve,
otherwise it can become the silence of cemetery.
Let
it be the silence of a garden where birds sing and trees bloom and
peacocks dance and rivers flow and waterfalls have their own song
and the winds blow
and yet there is silence! Silence is
not disturbed by it it is enhanced by it.
All
the sounds- the whispering wind and the swinging trees and the river-
all the sounds become background and in the background of the sound
silence comes more clearly, more loudly. Osho

Live Love Laugh:
Rejoice
in your Being facilitated by Sw. Ravindra Bharti (In Hindi language
only)
An
invitation for the meditation retreat to explore and experience the
laughter and dance within you.
Let
your life be a life of a dancing and laughing silence, and you have
entered into the only authentic temple of godliness. I am not interested
in what kind of ideologies you are carrying in your head. They are
all bullshit. I want you to drop them all, irrespective of what they
are. Let your whole being be a part of the universal dance. To me,
this is the only revolution, the only transformation which can bring
this earth millions of joys.
Before
we go into meditation
You will be going to a faraway space within
yourself. Just go laughing and joyous. Seriousness I hate --- I am
really serious! I want my Buddhas to be dancing and singing
and enjoying. I want my Buddhas not to be marble statues but
living and breathing and loving. --- OSHO

Awareness Intensive facilitated by Sw. Satya Vedant (In Hindi language

We
are born with immense life energy and a radiance of love and joy.

the inner light gets lost. Meditation and an in depth understanding
of our unawareness alone can lead us into a self rejuvenating endless
journey of discovering the hidden secrets of joy, peace and personal
transformation. We shall learn from Osho that to meditate means to
be aware moment to moment.

Osho
Sufi meditation camp is a program for seekers who like to celebrate,
dance & rejoice. The mantra of sufi path is bliss inside
and celebration outside. Oshos sufi meditation techniques set
seekers to tread the path of sufism dancing and celebrating.
Splendid rhythms and music from the land of sufis create an atmosphere
to encounter sufi sama. Devotional sufi kafis, kawaalis and poetry,
in addition to sufi anecdotes told by Osho also lead the way ahead
in the purpose. Stories of sufi masters like Rabia, Hassan. Mansoor,
Junnaid, Farid, Saadi, Husain and many more take us to a point where
we feel the real essence of sufism. Meditations like sufi karwan,
sufi sama, whirling, hoo, heart dance & more help us to explore
the rich spiritual sufi tradition. So this program is a fresh breadth
for the lovers of sufism.

Satori facilitated by Sw. Avikal (In English language only)
Satori
is a radical inquiry. It is going under the skin, in the heart and
in the belly to see and feel what is in the way of being oneself.
What
is my true nature? How do I lose myself or feel that there is not
all of me present in this here and now? What is this emptiness that
terrifies me? What is this restlessness that pushes me to do and do
and do? What is this longing for being more real, truer and complete?
What am I doing here?
Self-inquiry
means to open and unsettle the mechanism that destroys the present
by repeating the past. It means to be in the present, in the here
and now.
The
aim of this retreat is having this direct experience of being, an
experience of awakening, and an experience of no - mind.
Satori
is not therapy - but is highly therapeutic - It is an intense, honest,
open and compassionate inquiry using existential questions: Who
am I? Who is in? What is Life? What is Love? Each one of these questions
is a path that can take you from the confusion of the personality
to the peak of clarity.
Satori
is like lightning you can see a glimpse of the whole, all that
is there, and then it disappears. But you will not be the same again.
It is not final enlightenment, but a great step towards it. Now you
know. You have had a glimpse, now you can search for more of it. You
have tasted it, now Buddhas will become meaningful. Osho,

Ayurvedic
Yoga Massage Training facilitated by Sw. Antar Khirad
The
human body is a living Temple. Connecting with the body, being aware
of it and cleansing it from blockages is vital to the physical, mental
and spiritual health of all human beings.
In
this Therapy Training we will be working with two ancient sciences
of India Yoga and Ayurvedic Massage. This massage combines
deep penetrating strokes with yoga based stretches, which are gentle,
orderly and progressive. The postures are adjusted to meet the conditions
and needs of each receiver. The massage is done with special herbs
and oils to stimulate blood circulation and help release toxins. Other
benefits of this massage include, improving posture, breathing, flexibility,
mobility and restoring energetic balance.
You
will be giving and receiving massage within the group and also training
in yoga theory and will practice basic Asanas, Pranayam and Shudhikriya.
Osho
says, Massage is to come to rapport with aliveness of somebody
elses body and to feel where it is missing, to feel where the
body is fragmentary and to make it whole
to help the energy of
the body so it is no more fragmentary, no more contradictory. When
the energies of the body are falling into line and become an orchestra,
then you succeed.
We
invite you to join us to learn this sacred art and share this sensitivity
with others.

Rising
in Love facilitated by Sw. Chaitanya Keerti
A
workshop to meditate, become more sensitive and understand to evolve
into a space of friendliness, as Osho points out: Friendliness is
the purest thing you can conceive about love. It is so pure that you
cannot even call it a flower, you can only call it a fragrance.
He adds: Friendliness is a quality not a relationship. It has nothing
to do with anybody else, it is basically your inner quality. You can
be friendly even when you are alone. You cannot be in friendship when
you are alone - the other is needed - but friendliness is a kind of
fragrance. A flower opens in the jungle, nobody passes by - still
it is fragrant. It does not matter whether anybody comes to know of
it or not, it is its quality.

This group is a unique, dynamic healing and transformative MeditativeTherapy
that Osho created for todays humanity. This powerful process
penetrates to the very core of our energy through Laughter, Tears
and Meditation. The depth and intensity that we experience in the

negative belief systems and repressions thereby allowing us to live
a more free, spontaneous and joyous life. The three elements of Laughter,
Tears and Meditation, a three-week process, lasting three hours per
day combine to create a dynamic Meditative Therapy, a new concept
combining the western approach of therapy and the eastern knowledge
of meditation, a profound process for personal transformation. As
there is no talking during the three hours of the process, this is
indeed a healing beyond words.

Osho's No Mind Group by Ma Prem Leela (In English language only)
This is a week long process.
The first stage of this process is "Gibberish" The word
'gibberish' comes from a Sufi mystic, Jabbar. Jabbar never spoke any
language, he just uttered nonsense. Still he had thousands of disciples
because what he was saying was, "Your mind is nothing but gibberish.
Put it aside and you will have a taste of your own being."
In the first stage one has to simply allow whatever comes to the mind
without bothering about its rationality, reasonability, meaning, significance,
leaving language and mind aside. Out of this will arise the second
part a great silence in which you sit with closed eyes. Gathering
the energy within and being present in here and now.

to behave as children. For the second hour, they sit silently, doing
nothing.
"In these days I want to throw you back to the point where you
started being 'good' as against being natural. Be playful so your
childhood is regained. It will be difficult because you will have
to put aside your masks, your faces; you will have to put aside your
personality. But remember, the essence can assert itself only when
your personality is not there, because your personality has become
an imprisonment. Put it aside. It will be painful, but it is worth
it because you are going to be reborn out of it. And no rebirth is
possible without pain. If you are really determined to be reborn,
then take the risk" Osho.

Osho describes meditation as the greatest adventure one can take.
Though it is an earnest and sincere adventure, it is not something
serious. It is Fun. Says Osho: When life becomes an adventure, a dance
of ecstasy, then only do you move beyond the confinement of the body
and the mind and soar high towards the infinite
. Live, and allow
all that is possible. Sing, dance, cry, weep, laugh, love, meditate,
relate, be alone. Be in the marketplace, and sometimes be in the mountains.
Man needs a healthier religion, a religion which really helps people
to laugh, to love, to live; and that's my effort are -- to create

of transformation. Talking about these tools Osho says: "One
is concerned with the body, the second with the mind, the third with
the heart. And when you become capable of watching the third too,
the fourth happens on its own accord. Suddenly a quantum leap and
you are standing exactly at the very center of your being, where there
is nothing to be aware of. Awareness is aware of itself, consciousness
is conscious of itself."

There are hundreds of methods of meditation, but Vipassana is really

is "to look," and the metaphorical meaning is "to watch,
to witness." Osho says: When you have become perfectly watchful
of your body, mind and heart, then you cannot do anything more, then
you have to wait. When perfection is complete on these three steps,
the fourth step happens on its own accord as a reward. Suddenly your
life force, your witnessing, enters into the very center of your being.
You have come home. (Osho - The Rebel)

Art of Living and Dying facilitated by Sw. Veetman (In English language

Understanding Death- Living a fearless life
Often
we fail to live our lives to the fullest because mind is the illusion
of time, of past and future. We imagine that there is an infinite
amount of time, and so we continue to postpone living an authentic
life. The mind ´s tendency is to postpone, and this makes us
live in a dream of desires and hopes for the future. Unconsciously
we deny the fact of our mortality and close our awareness to what
is real and present in front of us. In this way we dream our life
rather than live it, and our fear of death continues to diminish the
quality of our lives. Only a fearless consciousness can awaken to
its full potential.

Hara, Heart and Hands
Osho Divine Healing Arts Course Part 1 facilitated by Sw. Anand Dhiren
(In English language only)
When Osho gave us the name for the Osho Divine Healing Arts training
more than 20 years ago, his message was that 'Healing is neither western
nor oriental-in essence it is divine'. This course represents the
first part of the basic training- it is inspired by Osho's vision
of the new man; the meeting of Zorba and Buddha.
It begins as a meditation retreat - an individual healing journey
where we learn to recharge ourselves with the juice and joy of life.
Through practise, exploration and theory we will go on to learn some
of the ancient techniques of healing touch, movement and massage.
Hara is the Japanese word for our physical and energetic centering,
Heart is the spiritual heart of compassion and transformation, and
Hands are not just our tools as healers, but also the bridge from
the inner to the outer-the transmitters of a meditative space through
which healing on all levels can happen.
The course is open to all, regardless of previous experience, and
for many it means a re-discovery of the body's natural wisdom and
harmony, enabling us to respond to the demands of life with balance,
centering and relaxation.
