This process allows a new experience of your vitality, clarity, and inner silence.
Instructions are given throughout the 7 mornings.

The Spaciousness of the Heart – A Dance Alchemy and Sufi Whirling Workshop
Saturday, March 26th
2:00pm to 8:00pm
$ 111 Early Bird (closes on March 16th)
$ 130 Regular
Momentum Dance Studio - 316 State St Suite a, Santa Barbara, CA 93101
Please arrive 10-15min before.
This workshop is a chance to discover the vastness of the heart space through dance and meditation, get centered in yourself and from there to experience the richness of life in all its extended possibilities.
In Dance Alchemy we work somatically with whatever life issues are coming up in us, what needs attention and acceptance. We use dance as the simplest and fastest way to reach inside and we give space for the heart to embrace it all.
Using active meditation techniques, especially whirling, we move deeper towards our center beyond space and mind. When body, mind and heart are united, a feeling of centeredness, openness and wholeness may arise.
This Workshop is an opportunity to
⋆ Connect to your joy and playfulness
⋆ Find relaxation with what is happening in your life
⋆ Learn how to rest in the space of the heart
⋆ Experience Sufi Whirling in a playful, non-dogmatic way
⋆ Cultivate trust in existence
⋆ Meditate and dance with others
“Your body, your mind, your soul all fall into a harmony in dancing. Dancing is one of the most spiritual things there is. If you really dance, you cannot think. If you really dance, the body is used so deeply that the whole energy becomes fluid. A dancer loses shape, fixity. A dancer becomes a movement, a process.” Osho
No previous experience in dance, whirling nor meditation needed.

"Archimedes used to say, ‘If I can find a silent still point in the universe, I can revolutionize the whole world.’ But he never found it because he was always looking outside. And that silent still point is within you; it has never moved. The earth moves, the sun moves, the stars move, now everything is whirling; but something within you is always absolutely still, and eternally still.“ Osho

Meditative Freediving
June & September 2022 - OSHO Afroz, LESVOS, Greece
3 to 5 days experience
Have you ever experienced deep silence under water? That moment where gravity disappears, and you are floating, melting, becoming one with the ocean like a fish.
Being in the mother’s womb, we were already immersed in water; floating underwater is natural for human beings. We relax so deeply in it that we can let our fears and worries dissolve, and become eternal, limitless, infinite.
In this 3-day course we will explore the magic of being under water. We discover the state of being silent and patient, yet absolutely alert. Because our lives depend on it, we become totally alert, awake.
Yes, going under the water and holding our breath for as long as we can is a challenge; and at the same time, an opportunity to move into meditation. We bring awareness to everything that is happening inside and out. In a safe protected atmosphere, we will have space to look at what comes up; such as fear, expectations, the goal-oriented mind, the feelings that are behind resistance – it may be something different for each individual.
This course is an introduction to the principles of Freediving. Together with a certified instructor you will learn the basics of breath-hold diving and the breathing technique used for preparation.
To support the practice of diving with the element of awareness, we will use different meditation and mindfulness techniques as well as time to share and integrate your experiences.
This course takes place in the facilities of OSHO Afroz and in the open water.
Full equipment and boat service included.
“Bondage does not come from other people; it comes out of our own fear, a fear of life. And life is dangerous so the fear is natural. But still one has to go in spite of all fears, because life is dangerous but infinitely blissful too. The greater the danger, the greater the risk, the more is the possibility of bliss happening. Bliss exists only for the gamblers, those who can stake their life for it. Bliss is not for the businessman. He is too clever for it, too cunning, too interested in survival rather than in living, too interested in the standard of life rather than in life itself, too interested in protecting and defending rather than being open, vulnerable, insecure.”

OSHO Reminding Yourself of the Forgotten Language of Talking to Your BodyMind
t.b.a.
Osho International Meditation Resort
Pune, India
This meditative process of one hour daily for 7 days focuses on making friends with our bodies, from which we are in many ways estranged. This is a healing process, designed to bring us again in tune with our body-mind. It´s a guided meditation where an incredible relaxation happens, and we again become friends with our bodies, remembering “the forgotten language” of communicating with the bodymind about those areas where our tensions and pains exist.
In a light trance, while combining deep relaxation with alertness, you learn to harness the bodymind’s creative and self-healing energies. These can be brought to any specific issues of imbalance or unease, such as smoking, eating imbalances, insomnia, aches and pains – any functions that are normally part of the body and which need to be brought to wholeness and balance again.
“Once you start communicating with your body, things become very easy. The body need not be forced, it can be persuaded. One need not fight with the body – that's ugly, violent, aggressive, and any sort of conflict is going to create more and more tension. So you need not be in any conflict – let comfort be the rule. And the body is such a beautiful gift from nature that to fight with it, is to deny nature itself. It is a shrine… we are enshrined in it; it is a temple. We exist in it and we have to take every care of it – it is our responsibility.” Osho
