Osho Nirvana is delighted to present this exclusive Women’s Retreat with Vasumati

We are living in an exciting time to be a woman. We are in a new era where we can have a choice and a voice in which we can speak out passionately, tenderly and creatively about things that matter to us inwardly and outwardly and be heard. Our Longings and Struggles as Women…

1. We desire to engage in deeper dialogues around intimacy and love where we share our deepest feelings and thoughts
2. We often struggle with our sense of worth and value; out of fear and insecurity have held ourselves and our power back
3. We long to share and live our sensuality and passion in safety and respect
4. We long for love but not at the expense of losing ourselves.  We want success and abundance but not at the expense of becoming too masculine, stressed, and outer-focused.
5. We long for meditation, awareness, and having an open heart

What you can expect from the Workshop… In this workshop we will deepen our connection to our bodies and our inner feminine essence while finding a more mature dimension of self-love and acceptance. The word “Tantric” refers not only to sexuality, but to the totality of ourselves as open, alive, intelligent and wise women. In the company of other women, we will create a powerful energy field where we will explore the deeper dimensions of being an empowered embodied fully alive and compassionate woman.

• We will discover our hidden strengths and resources that are intrinsic to our being and will support each other to confront what holds us back and limits us
• We will heal the parts of us that carry wounds from past relationships that have hurt our ability to trust and our capacity for deep intimacy.

We will work with breath and dance, meditation, enquiry and awareness, and deep sharings in pairs or in the circle as a whole! It will be a dynamic, creative, and fun experience!

After completing a psychology degree at the University of Cape Town in South Africa she moved to London where she completed further education in Somatic Psychotherapy. She studied Reichian Bodywork with Gerda Boyesen, and completed a 2-year professionalcourse. While in London she studied the humanistic psychologies that were emerging from Esalen Institute in California. These included Psychodrama, Gestalt, and Family systems. In 1976 Vasumati went to India to meet the Guru Bhagwan Rajneesh and spent many years in India learning meditation, working in the commune, and practicing therapy in individual and group settings. This experience in India brought her to the understanding that there is a new type of therapy emerging called the Psychology of the Buddhas. This approach understood that the traditional therapies of analysis and later of emotional discharge could not promote change and healing on deeper levels if meditation was not brought in.  And up to the present day, Vasumatis work is based on the interface between psychotherapy, spirituality, and meditation. In 1990 she became interested in Co-dependency and trained in couple counseling at the Couples Institute in Palo Alto California. Today she works in a group, training, and individual setting in Couple, Relationship, and Family Therapy. Her work takes place in a gentle and non-invasive space, clients are supported to compassionately enquire into the issues and conflicts, fears, and tensions that hold us back from living at our full potential. Self-understanding and communication skills provide the basis for deepening our intimate connections with each other.  This will lead to respect, appreciation, and a healthy mature love.

Description
No-Mind is one of the Therapeutic Meditative Processes that Osho created.

Using the unique technique of speaking only Gibberish for one hour at a stretch we can release the stress in our mind and unburden ourselves by expressing the blocked repressed energies.

All tension is based on inner conflict. And all inner conflict is based on a misunderstanding between the conscious and the unconscious mind.
Someone insults you. You become angry and react, perhaps damaging them and/or yourself. Or you become sad and only damage yourself. The reality is different. The anger is sitting there waiting for a chance to be expressed and the insult provided the trigger by touching an old wound.
Then the mind jumps in and puts subtitles on the anger movie: “You are right to be angry – you have been insulted.”
Gibberish when done with absolute intensity, takes us out of our logical mind and into the realms of the mysterious and spiritual.
It supports participants to move beyond their usual boundaries of expression and daily structures, to experience an exalted state of No-Mind.
The second part is silence and witnessing. For the next hour, we are just witnessing the body, the mind and anything that is happening within us. Besides this process, there will be some other meditations throughout the day supportive of this intense process.

Osho No Mind is an energetic process, that work on an individual in group dynamics with no intervention from the therapist. You are your own surgeon and patient.

Osho describes this phenomenon: “Your mind is nothing but gibberish. Put it aside and you will have a taste of your own being. Use gibberish and go consciously crazy. Go crazy with absolute awareness so that you become the center of the cyclone. Simply allow whatever comes, without bothering whether it is meaningful or reasonable. Just throw out all the mind-garbage and create the space in which the Buddha appears.”
