OSHO NeoVipassana Retreat
Oshodham, New Delhi
Facilitated by Sw. Chaitanya Keerti
Dec. 12-18, 2011
It is not a traditional Vipassana group in which you sit for 10 hours daily. No, it is actually very dynamic, playful and leading you naturally into a space of deep silence and serenity. 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.
Osho Tantra Prana Energy Retreat
Osho Nisarga, Dharmshala – Himachal Pradesh
Facilitated by Sw. Chaitanya Keerti
Dec 25-28, 2011
“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 theinnermost 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
Retreat Fee: Dh1200 (single occupancy); Dh2000 (twin-sharing for 2 people)
