An Autumn ReTreat

Dilys Morgan Scott

This dancing workshop is a 5Rhythms residential weekend, which is available to everyone, whether they have previous experience of Gabrielle Roth's 5Rhythms work, or not. It is for people who want to move and be moved.

It is an opportunity to be more present in our bodies, more connected to our hearts, more honest and expressive with our feelings, more alive in each moment, more gentle with ourselves, more relaxed in our being, more willing to listen deeply within and to gently shake loose our patterns. Moving into the unknown let us be willing to step out and see what we find there. It is a moving meditation, an animated and dynamic communication with each other, the divine and ourselves.

To quote Gabrielle Roth "...hers is the art of inspiring - to transform suffering into art, art into awareness, and awareness into action. This is the work we are here to do. We will dance, move, paint, write, touch and make theatre - all stirred together, with a lightness of touch and a sprinkling of humour, to make a rich feast of soul food.'

OSHO No-Mind Meditation Therapy

Samarpan & Shankara
Croydon Hall

A 7-day process specifically designed by Osho to clean garbage from the mind. The course is 2 hours a day for 7 days. The first hour is for gibberish, going consciously crazy, allowing any sounds which come from inside, in any language except a language you know. The second hour is for sitting silently in meditation.
During this week you will also have the opportunity to experience community life at Croydon Hall.

About meditative therapies:
The Osho approach to therapy is that it can never be the ultimate solution to human problems, but it can be used as a tool to help prepare the ground for meditation. Based on this understanding he has created a series of "meditative therapies" that give participants the opportunity to dissolve the tensions and repressions that keep them from being able to sit silently and observe the mind that creates problems in the first place.

Awareness Intensive

Kanta Sunner
Croydon Hall

In the search for the essential self, this is one of the most intensive Zen processes. It is based on the simple yet all encompassing question: “ Who am I?” This question is both the beginning and the very end of the search and although it appears to have infinite answers, in the end there are none.
During the process you work in pairs; the presence of each partner is a support for you and also a mirror for your own consciousness. There will be silent sittings to practice the enquiry within yourself. We will use OSHO active meditations to support the journey and most of the time you will be in silence and isolation.

All inclusive price: from £239

Tantra for Couples Level 1

Sarita & Shiva
School of Awakening

The theme in this first level is to deepen intimacy through the following ways: a deep cleansing of stagnant patterns of relating, opening the heart and conscious communication through receptivity, sexual de-conditioning and discovering the dimension of sacred sexuality in Tantra.

The full Couples Tantra training provokes powerful transformation and healing in yourself as an individual, and in your relationship. Both parties should be aware of this fact and willing to dive into transformational experiences. The Tantra meditations which include sexual union are practised in the privacy of your bedroom. We offer personal coaching and healing as an integral part of the training. Another important aspect of the training is the group dynamics. Having a room full of couples moving through the same structures, helps in creating a magical alchemy of love. Deep friendships often develop between couples as they all move through the process together.  This is one of the master keys which support rapid transformation.

Sacred Sexuality - Tantra for Singles

Sarita & Shiva
School of Awakening

This 6 day group is structured as a journey into sexual awakening and the flowering of this energy into divine sexuality. Some people are afraid to come to a Tantra group, even though they long for the liberation and ecstasy Tantra can bring, simply because they have heard rumours that Tantra may mean getting naked and having orgies or being forced to have sexual relations with a stranger. We would like to clarify that even though we work with liberating sexual energy in this group, we do so in a respectful way, remaining considerate of people’s vulnerability around intimacy. Sexual union between group members is not part of this group structure. We feel this gives people the opportunity for exploring more deeply, simply because there is a deep sense of trust, that you can experiment with many facets of your life force energy, without the fear of going ‘further’ than you would like. Deep and lasting friendships develop between participants in this easy, loving atmosphere of security and experimentation.

In this group we explore 5 stages of sensual awakening. The first phase is self love, which naturally develops between 0—7 years of age. The second phase is same sex bonding, which spontaneously arises between 7—14 years of age. The third phase is heterosexual relating, which commences between 14 –21 years of age. The fourth phase is intimacy, which emerges easily in an individual who has experimented with “sowing their wild oats” and then feels the urge to go deeper with one partner. The fifth phase is Sacred Sexuality, which arises if one has deeply lived the other phases of development. If a person has suffered a traumatic experience during one or more of these phases, their sensual development may become stunted and they will have difficulty to access their potential for fulfilment in sex and relating.

During the group process, we live through these phases, rewriting our life script in a positive way, using Tantric meditations, rituals, group exercises, dance and psychodrama. Participants are able to resolve and heal wrong conditioning around sexuality and move forward on their life path towards an ecstatic expression of all that they are. Integral parts of the group are methods to awaken the dormant life force, also known as Kundalini energy, leading one into expanded states of consciousness and bliss. In this milieu, the group soul expands, into an ongoing dance of vibrant loving aliveness. The transformation people experience during this group is deep and lasting.
