♥ MYSTERY SCHOOL OF SOUND (Gong Baths): Paul & Mark are twin brothers and have been performing with the gongs for over 6 years and have been developing a healing programme to complement their practice. This practice has been developed through the healing arts and esoteric teachings from Eastern and Western traditions. The primary influences are European mysticism as well as shamanic practices from around the world. As a duet, they play together with a number of symphonic and tuned gongs, the virtue of two performers playing the gongs allows for a binaural experience that extends one’s consciousness that much further. Together they create a layered soundscape experience for you to deeply relax and meditate into. They also complement the gongs with other instruments such as singing bowls, flute and the kalimba. Gong baths (in dome): Enter an epic gong performance, a wonderful sound journey where you travel through your own inner landscape. A performance that puts you into a deep meditational state that will enable you to totally relax, de-stress and heal physically & mentally. Gongs provide the most immediate way to relax by inducing a wakeful dream. Theta brainwaves occur most often just before sleep and waking but are also present in deep meditation. In this state, the external world diminishes, the senses withdraw to the inner self. This state is where archetypal imagery takes on a new focus. In this personal space, you can access and work on your shadow self, control unconscious habits, past traumas as well as any other dis-ease one needs to face & clear.

♥ MORNING ACTIVE MEDITATIONS: Get present with a selection of powerful meditation practices, wake up your body and ease your way into the day. Facilitated by Osho Leela Community members.

OSHO NO MIND MEDITATION: OSHO No-Mind is powerful. 30 min of gibberish followed by 30 min of sitting silently. Gibberish is a cathartic technique that encourages expressive sounds and body movements. Speaking gibberish means speaking in nonsense words, as Osho explains, “using any language that you don’t know.” Gibberish helps to break the mind’s habit of continual verbalization. It allows whatever is repressed to be expressed &thrown out, leaving the mind empty &silent.

DYNAMIC ACTIVE MEDITATION: This meditation is a fast, intense and thorough way to break old, ingrained patterns in the bodymind that keep one imprisoned in the past, and to experience the freedom, the witnessing, silence and peace that are hidden behind those prison Walls. The meditation is meant to be done in the early morning, when “the whole of nature becomes alive, the night has gone, the sun is coming up and everything becomes conscious and alert.” You can do this meditation alone, but to start with it can be helpful to do it with other people. It is an individual experience, so remain oblivious of others around you. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. The meditation is to be done with its specific OSHO Dynamic Meditation music, which indicates and energetically supports the different stages.

CHAKRA BREATHING MEDITATION: This active meditation uses deep, rapid breathing and body movement to open and bring awareness, vitality and silence to each of the seven chakras and thus into your life. The accompanying music and bells energetically support the process and indicate the beginning of each stage. The meditation is best done on an empty stomach. All chakras lie deep within, rather than on the surface of the body. 

OUR SACRED EARTH MEDITATION: During this hour, you will relax your mind and body through stages of shaking (a gentle movement that loosens the muscles and releases tensions), dancing, stillness and hugging. This beautiful Sacred Earth Meditation is a powerful message to realize the great responsibility we have to take care of our beautiful planet by taking care of ourselves. Through Sacred Earth Meditation each of us can create a little wave of transformation by looking inside and opening our hearts to ourselves, each other and our Sacred Earth.

Sessions invite deep release of physical tension and emotional patterns, helping the body, mind, and spirit come back into balance. With gentle, attuned touch and using techniques such as listening to psychoperistalsis (gut sounds) via a stethoscope, we can access and shift deep-seated unconscious patterns, including ancestral and pre-verbal trauma. Each touch is imbued with the non-verbal question, “How are you? What is happening?” – inviting your body to respond. Whether you’re seeking grounding or transformation, this work meets you where you are. Sessions can be conducted with or without clothing, based on your comfort and blankets are provided. The massage works on multiple layers from the bone to the auric field, using oil only when necessary. You may feel shifts in your energy and life, days after a session as the body continues to process.

♥ DAVID: In 2013 David set out to walk from Europe to India, following the path of the heart. Through the practical application of spiritual teachings in life, he offers heart-led bodywork and guidance for healing, integration, and self-recognition. Combining the wisdom of Eastern and Western medicine from the traditions of Thai Yoga Massage, Hatha Yoga and Buddhist Meditation, blended with Osteothai, and trauma informed Somatic therapy, David works according to the needs of each individual.
*Somatic Thai Yoga Massage Rooted in the healing traditions of Thai Yoga Massage and Osteothai – and combined with the therapeutic approach of Hatha Yoga, Buddhist meditation, and trauma-informed somatic therapy, Somatic Thai Yoga Massage blends Eastern and Western wisdom into a deeply intuitive, heart-led practice. Honouring the natural intelligence of the body, and the philosophy that healing occurs when we are relaxed, every session is a practice of deep listening, guided by the unique needs of each individual. Through sensitivity and mindful touch, the treatment combines static and dynamic rhythmic pressure on energetic points and lines in the body to facilitate the flow of oxygen and blood, release blockages and restore energy to its natural rhythm. Combining deep tissue release with gentle stretching and natural movement of muscles, joints, and fascia, the release works on an emotional, energetic and physical level – leaving the body, heart, and mind in a state of deep rest, harmony, and renewed vitality.
