We are delighted to welcome you to a 3-day summer residential meditation retreat with Swami Anand Arun during the July 4th long weekend
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 (Disciplehood). 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!
This meditation retreat is open to all seekers of all level of meditation experience; from beginners to seasoned sannyasins who would like to experience more of Osho and meditations.
There will be an opportunity to take Sannyas (Initiation) and become Osho’s Disciple for new seekers.
During our previous retreat with Swami Arun, we had a large number of seekers participating. All of them still feel the joy and bliss and want to re-live the experience.

Osho Heart of Relating
Feb 14 – 16, 2020 Hosted by Osho Nirvana Friends
During the Osho Heart of Relating Retreat, you will learn how to use Osho’s essential keys for inner transformation so that conscious relationships can evolve to support the celebration of life.
“The whole yoga, the whole tantra, the alchemy, the whole process of religion, is how to create an orgasm, a deep intercourse between the polarities within you. And when they meet within you a new type of being is born, a new life becomes alive. If you are a man, then your conscious is masculine and your unconscious is feminine. If you are a woman your conscious is feminine and your unconscious is masculine. Your conscious and unconscious must meet so that a new birth becomes possible. – Osho “The Supreme Doctrine”
“Seek ye first the end – end means the effect, the result – and the cause will follow. This is as it should be. It is not only that you place a seed in the soil and the tree follows; let there be a tree and there are millions of seeds. If cause is followed by effect, effect is again followed by cause. This is the chain! Then it becomes a circle – start from anywhere, create the cause or create the effect.
And I tell you it is easier to create the effect because the effect depends totally upon you; the cause may not be so dependent on you. If I say I can only be happy when a certain friend is there, then it depends on a certain friend, whether he is there or not. If I say I cannot be happy until I attain this much wealth, then it depends on the whole world and the economic situations and everything. It may not happen, and then I cannot be happy.
Cause is beyond me. Effect is within me. Cause is in the surroundings, in the situations – cause is without. EFFECT IS ME! If I can create the effect, the cause will follow. Choose happiness – that means you are choosing the effect – and then see what happens. Choose ecstasy and see what happens. Choose to be blissful and see what happens. Your whole life will change immediately and you will see miracles happening around you – because now you have created the effect and causes will have to follow.
This will look magical; you can even call it the law of magic. The first is the law of science and the second is the law of magic. Religion is magic, and you can be the magician. That’s what I teach you: to be the magician, to know the secret of magic. Create the effect and see what happens; causes immediately surround you, they follow. ”
Osho – “My Way: The Way of the White Clouds”, Discourse 3

WORKSHOP NAME: Knowing Your 3 Faces – Creating Abundance through Self-Awareness, Creativity and Innovation
WORKSHOP APPROACH: Humans have multi-dimensional capabilities: logic (mind), emotions (heart) and intuition (spirit). Honoring them and knowing how/when to tap into these dimensions, can create joy, abundance and growth inside our youth; reflecting in their leadership, creativity, and innovation brought forth to solve problems in the outside world,
Leading to development of real “Integrated Intelligence”, able to respond fully in the moment! A lens that is urgently needed to bring out the unique value humans can bring in an increasingly automated world, and to solve complex, uncertain problems of today / future especially those involving interdependencies of life-forms and ethical development of technologies (AI, Robotics etc). A whole, integrated intelligence as opposed to just the IQ or EQ! IMAGINE THE MAGIC THAT IS POSSIBLE WHEN INDIVIDUALS JOIN HANDS AS TEAMS TO DO THIS!
This trailblazing workshop has a unique 3 part process (patent pending) to empower the Youth with a focus on fun, experiential learning and community!
Session #1: Know and Experience your 3 Faces
Session #2: Creativity in Action

Some comments from our past session:
“It Is Real Magic. Big Thank to Swamijee”
“Energy Darshan or Shaktipath online was my first but I felt Osho’s & Swami Arun ji’s presence very strongly.”
“Energy Darshan worked out really well. It felt like being in a meditation camp. Beloved master Osho and swami ji high presence was there…”
About Swami Anand Arun:
Bodhisattva Swami Anand Arun is the founder and coordinator of Osho Tapoban – an international commune and forest retreat centre in Nepal. An engineer by profession, he is also a celebrated writer and orator. He divides his time between Nepal and twenty other countries of Europe, North America, Russia and Asia, where he gives discourses and facilitates Osho meditation retreats regularly.
He showed an eager inclination towards spirituality since his schooldays. This pursuit took him to many masters and spiritual leaders of the time, most of which is chronicled in his book Lone Seeker Many Master. On March 29, 1969, when he was still a student of engineering, Swami Arun first met Osho. In the very first glimpse he realized his search for a master had come to an end. In 1974, he took initiation from Osho at Pune. After a few months of staying with his master, he was instructed to open an ashram in Nepal and spread his vision. Today, he has initiated around a hundred thousand seekers from 90 different countries into Osho Neo-Sannyas. He actively mentors and guides six Osho communes and more than seventy-five meditation centers in Nepal and around a hundred and fifty Osho meditation centers in fifty different countries.
This is a beautiful opportunity, not to be missed.

A guru is the one who liberates us and with whom we are in deep love, faith and reverence. A guru is a presence. Through him one gets the first glimpse of divinity. A guru creates, transforms and gives a new birth to a seeker so that with complete trust one can follow his guru while traveling through many unknown paths and doors and opening many unknown locks. Speaking on the significance of a guru, A guru’s blessing is a vital phenomenon. Through a guru one can look into his own future and can be aware of his own destiny. Through him one starts coming up like a seed trying to sprout towards the sky. -OSHO
