Tai Chi

Tai Chi
Healing with Moving Stillness
 

 
Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese form of spiritual martial arts that is practiced for its powerful healing benefits. With its gentle dance like movements, Tai Chi opens blocked energy pathways, allowing Chi to flow freely. Unobstructed and free flow of Chi is key to good health and longevity!

But the benefits of Tai Chi go far beyond the physical, as it truly opens the heart to giving and receiving love and happiness. Relationships automatically become more harmonious and life becomes more joyous. Young or old, fit or not, anyone can practice Tai Chi and be benefitted.

In this workshop, we will practice simple Tai Chi movements, along with meditation, breathing and other healing techniques. All techniques are easy to learn and only half an hour of daily practice is enough to radically transform your life.

Tattva Festival

Tattva Festival

A Celebration of the Spirit

Hello all you wonderful people!

Imagine a world without money, where there is authentic self-expression, art, love, and total acceptance… a world where everyone lives with full respect for the environment. Sounds like utopia, doesn’t it? Well, that’s Tattva for you!

Tattva...a festival completely created by participants is certainly one of the most joyful experiences for celebrating ourselves! In the last gathering, people from different walks of life … home makers, artists, musicians, office goers, expats, facilitators, diplomats… all got together to simply celebrate the individual and the whole with music, dance, art, food, bonding, gifting & a whole array of workshops and activities.

We had the choice to participate in sessions of pottery-making, dancing, singing, meditation, yoga, whirling, painting, cooking… all gifted by the participants. On the last evening, we also had a sacred fire ceremony to burn negative emotions and attachments.

This festive season, after Diwali, we want to recreate the magic of Tattva on the 6th, - 8th of March! Participation in the festival is absolutely free. We only contribute a minimal cost for our meals and stay at Zorba the Buddha. 

Scholarships for artists are available.

Conscious Relating Workshop

Conscious Relating Workshop
The Art of Fulfilling Relationships
Sat,18th & Sun,19th Oct.
9:30 am - 6:30 pm

Come join us for a weekend workshop to learn the art of relating consciously with ourselves and others in more fulfilling ways. Relating, when done with awareness, leads to personal growth and better relationships. Whereas, unconscious relating often leaves us feeling unfulfilled,misunderstood, entangled and exhausted.

This workshop will empower us to become more mindful of our needs and gifts, while also making us conscious of the roles we play & gender roles we abide by. Ananda will use
different tools & techniques from Buddha, Osho, Vigyan Bhairav, Tantra and contemporary
communication skills, along with various healing techniques and meditations to help us align our mind, body, emotions and subtle energies. We will also be guided to relate to our Core with love, sensitivity, truth and awareness. Feeling healthy, fulfilled and expanded is going to be a natural outcome of the process, while we will be able to see and accept things as they are.


  Facilitator's Bio:


Ananda is a highly experienced healer who regularly offers sessions and workshops across Europe and India. He has received his training from many respected teachers of the Osho and Auroville communities. Ananda also draws inspiration from and utilizes the teachings of Tantra, Vigyan Bhairav and other mystics.

Wild Woman Workshop : Nurturing Your True Feminine Self

Wild Woman Workshop: Nurturing Your True Feminine Self

Sunday, 28 SepT, 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM

In the workshop, the word wild means ‘a natural life.’ It is to reunite the woman with her kinship with the wild feminine side… a relationship which may have been lost from neglect, domestication, surrounding culture, or is simply no longer understood. This workshop is about women and their stories inspired by Dr Nikola Pinkola Estes Es’s remarkable book ‘Women who run with the wolves.’ It is about dancing, playfulness, and transporting oneself through stories to reclaim the lost freedom.

We will tell stories and share personal narratives to explore ourselves. Ancient folk tales, fairy tales, excerpts from Women who run with the Wolves, movement, mime and other avenues of expression would be used.  Through this we will try and enter a world of the wild spirit, where integrity, balance, belonging are celebrated and re-discovered.

Re-birthing Breath Work Training

Rebirthing 
The Art of Conscious Breathing

Sun, 12  Oct to Tue, 21 Oct

Starts at 6:00 PM on 12 Oct

Residential Workshop
 

The average human draws energy unconsciously from air and food. But if we master the art of conscious energy breathing, we can absorb universal energy directly from the Source into our physical and subtle bodies. This art of tapping into the infinite healing energy of the Universe is called Rebirthing-Breathwork or Conscious Energy Breathing.

It is certainly an extraordinary self-healing ability any human can learn… In this, through the rhythmic merging of inhalation and exhalation, we inundate body and mind with Divine Energy. As we connect with our breath, we gradually also begin to release karmic cycles of life and death…traumas get healed and suffering ceases to exist. When deep healing takes place, the portals of greater happiness, success, peace of mind, universal love and joy also open up!

 

Leonard Orr is the Founder of Rebirthing-Breathwork.  A life-long student of self transformation & body mastery, he is also a pioneer in the Physical Immortality movement.  He is a modern day yogi, visionary, healer, teacher, and the author of over 20 books. Leonard is also one of the earliest proponents of `Prosperity Consciousness’ the idea that the state of one’s mind and beliefs about oneself are a key factor in manifesting `Abundance’ in one’s life. Millions of lives over the world have been healed and changed by his unique ideas.
