Then we’ll watch a brilliant film on laughter, the classic documentary “Laughology”. You will learn a lot about the amazing gift of laughter!
We’ll partake in more laughter with Osho’s Laughing Meditation.
Chai and treats will be served to complete the day.
Come and Laugh with us!
So that everyone is comfortable, we kindly ask you to refrain from wearing anything that might have a scent or fragrance. This includes lotions, hair sprays, and essential oils. This day is for adults so please don’t bring children…even though they are master laughers.
Feel free to wear something silly or festive if you feel like it. Just be comfortable and if you wish ~ bring a jacket, a shawl or a pillow. You might want to take a walk in the beautiful area surrounding the Center.

“Your ecstasy is a movement towards the height and your meditation is a movement towards the depth. And once you have both, your life becomes a celebration. That is my work, to transform your life from a sad affair into a celebration.” – OSHO
Osho was born on Dec 11, 1931.
We will celebrate on Dec 10, Sunday

Come join us in welcoming 2018 at the ashram with Osho meditation, celebration, , potluck party and special new year breakfast.Zorba, the Buddha style.
It is that time of the year when you let go of your past pains and pleasures and begin the new year with a fresh perspective – mentally, emotionally and spiritually. How about we end the year 2017 with lots of celebration and begin the new year 2018 with Dynamic Meditation?
Osho on new year resolution:
What is a resolution? Resolution is a struggle. Resolution is ego. Resolution is saying, “I cannot live spontaneously.” And if you cannot live spontaneously, you don’t live at all — you only pretend.
“So let only one resolution be there: I will never make any resolutions. Drop all resolutions! Let life be a natural spontaneity. The only golden rule is that there are no golden rules.”
“The festivity is in the moment, in the act, not in the bothering about the results, not in achieving something.”

“And I can promise you one thing: if you hunt for me, you will find me.in every star and in every eye.because if you have really loved a master, you have moved into eternity with him. The relationship is not of time, it is timeless.
There is going to be no death. My body will disappear, your body will disappear – that will not make any change. If the disappearance of the body makes any change, that simply shows that love had not happened.” – OSHO

We are delighted to welcome you to a 3-day residential meditation retreat with Swami Anand Arun
Swami Arun is one of the first Osho sannyasins and received much guidance directly from Osho. A meditation retreat with him is a wonderful opportunity for everyone interested in Osho and his meditations.
Swami Arun will be traveling all the way from Kathmandu(Nepal) to inspire and guide seekers in the path of meditations. Swami ji is one of Osho’s intimate disciples and has initiated almost 100,000 into Osho’s Neo Sannyas (Disciple-hood). We are fortunate that he has accepted our invitation to conduct this 3-day transforming retreat. We encourage you to take advantage of this rare opportunity! There will be an opportunity to take Sannyas (Initiation) and become Osho’s Disciple.
During our previous retreat with Swami Arun in February 2017, we had a large number of seekers participating. All of them still feel the joy and bliss and want to re-live the experience.
When do we start?
We start the event on Friday morning at 7:30 am with Yoga, Pranayam, and Dynamic Meditation. For out of town friends, please plan to arrive by Thursday evening, so that we can start early and fresh.
