Well-Being Weekend

Croydon Hall

Do you remember last Christmas? Were you run off your feet?  Did you let your hair down and indulge mercilessly in absolutely everything? And then one morning you woke up and the “holiday” was over. Was it a fresh new year? Did you feel like a fresh new person? Hardly.  

In the Well-being weekend we are offering:

  • Light, delicious, detoxing vegetarian food
  • Morning sessions of stretching and breathing
  • Time for relaxation and reflection and daily meditation classes
  • A walk to the medieval village of Dunster
  • A spa session on Friday night
  • A variety of treatments are available from £35 per hour (they will be charged as taken)

And at the end you will take with you a fresh feeling, a new outlook and techniques to help you stay relaxed and live a healthier life, naturally.   


All-inclusive price from £89

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.

The French Experience: Learn French while Cooking

Leela & Anahato
Croydon Hall

This course is suitable for those who have always wanted to learn French, but never got around to do it or found it very difficult to start. But what better way is there to learn to speak French than at a French table?

We'll be playing with an innovative and fun way of learning French while cooking, having a meal, sitting in the bar. The vocabulary will be learnt using games, pictures, mime... The emphasis in this workshop will be put on communication. Complete beginners are welcome.

Places are limited.

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

A Valentine for Yourself

Dilys Morgan Scott

The workshop is available to anyone who is willing to move and be moved.

There will be a gentle stirring, to explore the catalytic 5RhythmsÒ, and let them work their magic.  Using dance, poetry, art and ritual theatre we will move our bodies – letting them reveal their stories, their beauty and their truth. We shall dance, breathe, and practise being grounded in each moment and each step.

While the work is simple and gentle, it is physically, emotionally and spiritually moving. Each Rhythm is a teacher and a gateway – together they are called The Wave.  Journeying though this Wave can catalyze change, release and deep healing. What better Valentine gift can we give ourselves?

Dilys has been teaching for twenty years and blends a lightness of touch with depth and humour.

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.
