ZEN Meditation Retreat
with Nish Pfister
19th to 25th October
For everyone concerned about existential questions, this retreat provides a unique opportunity to explore what is possible and focus on achieving high levels of self awareness and self knowledge.
Silence and meditation will enable you to concentrate on looking deeply at issues like attachments and expectations you might have, the desire for meaning, and what you can do to see your true nature.
The pivotal question in this investigation is 'Who am I'.
Zen master Nish Pfister will guide you and help you focus your efforts. The work at the School of Contemporary Zen is based on Zen Buddhism, the methods are meditation, mindfulness, and getting to know yourself. The motivation is to help you see your true nature.
Please arrive on Sunday, 19th October 2008 before 4 pm. The retreat will finish with a morning meditation on Saturday, the 25th October.

OSHO No-Mind Therapy
with Samarpan and Shankara
12th - 18th January
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
5th - 8th February
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 TBA
