Osho Sufi Sutras

Osho Sufi Sutras

A Survival Intensive for the Urban Sufi


What is Sufism? Isn’t it like a lot of esoteric stuff? Sufism is simple. It comes from the root word Safa. It means pure, innocent. Rumi, Rabiya, Jabbar. They were mystics who rediscovered their ability to be wonder-full. 
Can one practice Sufism while living a modern life? Sufism has many maps. Its language usually belongs to a world that most of us in modern life cannot access. But we are lucky to have Osho, a contemporary master who has decoded many of these secrets for us. Simply, playfully. 
So how does a Sufi survive in a world which has little time, little air, little water, little space? S/he practises. Some simple everyday wisdom sutras. Clear pathways, but no short cuts. Can they be practiced at home? Oh yes! Ideally in a meditation space in your house. But also in your car, in your office, in the hotel room, or in the rest room. 
What will the retreat entail? Total commitment from you. To participate, to become one with the process. There will be 5-6 sessions per day starting from 6:30 am till 8 pm at least. There will be breaks, but since this is an intensive we will want all your energies focused in the meditation hall. 
Hey! So busy?! But i thought this is a retreat! Life works in polar opposites. Night follows day. Winter, Summer. So, the first step to relaxation is … action. There will be relaxation, deepest you have been through, but before that you will have to work towards it. Nothing comes free. And yes, all sessions will be spaced out with tea, lunch, nature cuddle breaks.
