Meditative Freediving
02 Sep - 04 Sep 2021 - OSHO Afroz, LESVOS, Greece
Let go and dissolve in the silent depths of the ocean
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, The sun behind the sun behind the sun, Chapter #7

Whirling in Berlin
Whirling, Dance & Meditation Workshops
12. July 2020
09. August 2020
01. November 2020
15h-19h
Do-Kai-Dojo e.V., Stargarder Str. 10, 10437 Berlin
Cost: 40,-€ / reduced 35,-€
Whirling is a sufi ancient technique, an active meditation, where you whirl on the spot with your arms opened. This method is one of the most forceful ones. It goes very deep, taking the whirler out of the mind and into his/her center, into his/her being. While your whole body is moving suddenly you become aware of a space inside of you that is unmoved, this is YOU. “To know this unmoving center is to know the very master key of all the mysteries of life.” (Osho)
Whirling brings you in contact with your innocence, softening your heart and opening it so you can receive and give. During the whirling dance you can witness your thoughts spinning around, you stop identifying with the mind and with the body as you rest peacefully in your center. Then only emptiness and silence remains. You might experience deep relaxation and the sensation of connection and centeredness.
This workshop is a self exploration through different methods to reconnect with yourself and get in touch with that inner silent space we all carry within.
We will use different techniques:
active meditations
breath work
dance
sufi meditation techniques
sufi whirling
“You cannot believe it unless you experience, that just by whirling you can know yourself. No austerity is needed, no self-torture is needed, but just an experience your inner most being and you are transported into another plane of existence from the mortal to the immortal. The darkness disappears and there’s just eternal light.” Osho

Awareness Intensive: Who is In?
August 2021 – 3 Day Residential Retreat with Shivani
Chorin (40min from Berlin, easily reachable by car or train)
A structured retreat based on traditional Zen techniques to focus your total energy on the search for who you really are.
The structure of this Awareness Intensive is based on traditional Zen meditation combined with modern communication techniques. It is designed to penetrate beyond your habitual masks and pretensions and to focus your total energy on the search for who you really are.
When you are repeatedly asked the modern koan "Who is In?" and answer moment to moment, awareness of your identification with the personality starts to develop. Once this is experienced and understood, you shift towards your being, to the center of witnessing. This brings a profound relaxation and the joy of being truly in the present moment.
During this 3-day residential process you will be in silence and isolation.
FULL RETREAT PRICES (Retreat Facilitation costs + Food/Accommodation costs):
RETREAT FACILITATION COSTS:
350€ Early Bird Price (till 25 July 2020 / Limited places)

OSHO Reminding Yourself of the Forgotten Language of Talking to Your BodyMind
24.-30. April 2020
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
