OSHO White Robe Gathering, July 2015

OSHO White Robe Gathering

Osho White Robe Gatherings are a combination of dance, celebration and silence, a unique opportunity to experiment the awareness without effort, the essence of meditation. 

"That which cannot be said has to be experienced.  This is a great experience of getting into the inner space. Something is experienced in this gathering which no one has been able to define. It’s the peak of all day of work, meditation or groups." – This is what Osho had to say about the White Robe Gatherings.

The gathering starts with 20 minutes of high energy celebration where everybody is invited to participate and dance with totality. The more totally we dance, the more easily we will be able to sit silently afterwards. The period of dancing reaches its climax with three shouts of “Osho.” This is a sound without meaning. It is simply using sound to reach the soundless silence. This is followed by silent sitting, which begins with intermittent Indian music up until three drumbeats. After three drumbeats, Osho Video Discourse starts, during which we sit silently and just absorb Osho.

Please wear a plain white robe/plain white clothes. Come freshly showered, with no perfume.

Beginner's Drawing Workshop - Discover the Artist in You!

The Art of Seeing


 

“I look at a beautiful landscape and begin to draw, but what comes down on paper is something else all together...” is a sentence we often hear people say. In this workshop, we will understand how everyone can draw beautifully.  We will also learn how to draw intuitively, combining the brain’s memory with our imaginations. This workshop will be focused on disregarding preconceived notions of what the drawn object should look like, and on individually "seeing" the object.

We will move from drawing objects to sceneries to perspectives. All the participants will be guided at every step of the way with specific instructions. So, come explore a fun way to draw in a space that is filled with lush green landscapes, flowing water bodies and exotic vegetation.
 

 About the Facilitator

Take a look at the flyer below for more information.

Kick-start Your Day with A Morning Party

Day Breaker - A Morning Party!
Kickstart your Day the Healthy Way..

 

Dance is a good and the most fun form of exercise and an excellent way to keep fit. Dance helps us lose weight, stay flexible, reduce stress, make friends, and more. It is also tremendously beneficial in keeping us young! 

Dance is also a form of meditation, not known or understood by most. While dancing, the brain releases such chemicals that are not generated in any other physical activity. So why not begin the day with the best mood enhancer we know of!

We will be dancing to a wide range of music - from House to Electronic, Break Beat to Down Tempo, Drum & Bass to Chill-out and Electro to Nu Jazz. There will be some pauses and meditations, in between all the dances, which will allow us to explore our inner landscape.

So, come and immerse yourself in this new morning culture. Let your hair down and begin your day like never before!

Collaborative Pottery Workshop: Learn in the Midst of Nature

Pottery Workshop
A 1-Day Collaborative Experience

Ever been intrigued by the art pottery-making? Imagine learning it in nature’s soothing embrace! Here, at Zorba the Buddha we have pottery classes every weekend. In this collaborative pottery workshop you can experience what a pottery class looks and feels like.

We will learn the following:
1. Slab-made pots (soft and hard)
2. Fun and easy forms of slab with decorative impressions on them
3. Learn Pinch Pot Technique, most primitive technique of pottery
4. Pinch pot technique combined with coiling for a more decorative effect

This workshop will be a fun learning activity as whatever pinch pot we have will be passed on to the next person and they will complete it using the Coiled Pot Technique.

In between all of this, we will have a breather session of a short active meditation or some simple fun stretching exercises, to keep the juices flowing! Towards the end, the facilitator will compose all or several of our hand-made pots together, giving them the final touches. Putting them all together, she will build an abstract composition or a pot sculpture which will remain here at Zorba the Buddha for all to see and cherish! 

Sounds like a great way to spend your day? 
Call us and let us know.

Yoga Classes in the Lap of Nature

Yoga Classes in the Lap of Nature
Health, Flexibility and Silence

The body has a deep connection with the mind. Through yoga we will become flexible, mentally as well as physically.. thereby becoming more acceptive of life. Here, we will also learn to relax our body and mind. This  boosts our body's innate power to heal itself, its immunity. We will also be making use of certain sounds like 'Om' for healing and wellness.. Here, at Zorba the Buddha, we will be in the midst of voices of exotic birds, rustle of leaves and flowing water bodies. In such an environment, a strong connection is formed within, making way for a wholesome growth for body & soul. 

These yoga classes will be a slow and meditative process of deepening our awareness by holding asanas in connection with our breath. Balancing postures helps us to balance life. We will be able to go into stillness and silence to hear what our bodies have to say. We can then understand the needs of our body by going beyond the mental chatter.

About the Facilitator:

Bhakti, a certified clinical hypnotist, began her journey into body-mind healing in 1997. She has learnt from various gurus and institutions to understand how and what Yoga brings out in different people. She started her journey over fifteen years ago, learning from Swami Vidyanand, trained from the Bihar School of Yoga, whose approach towards Yoga was spiritual in nature. She then went on to learn from and practise in Sivananda Yoga Centre and Kaivalyadham, where they had a more scientific/research based approach. Today, she combines both approaches beautifully. She has been giving private and group sessions in Delhi for over eight years now.

Starting 1st July Onwards.

Tribal Dance with Damini: Let the Frenzy of Dance Give Way to Silence

Tribal Tantra
Dance of a Happy Heart

Tribal Tantra Dance is a special ceremonial celebration. Damini will be weaving the energetic sutras of Tantra with some ecstatic tribal dancing. We will be dancing as individuals - free flowing, and also as a group – organized and patterned. For in life both are needed... to be wild & free, and to be submitting to a larger will. Movement and dance signal our body-mind to break patterns, and to form fresh possibilities of spontaneous responses. This two-hour celebration will be in five stages- welcome dance, initiation dance, ceremonial dance: dance of a happy heart, storytelling and silence.

This dance is not a performance as we will be dancing for our own selves. There will be no observers, only celebrants. No prior training is needed. If you can shake a leg - literally - come! Wear loose clothes, comfortable ones, so that you can jump, roll and go wild. We will be dancing bare feet, connecting to the ground below. All the energy of dance will be used for meditative invocation and silence. Dance so totally that all that remains, is just a happy heart, beating silently with all-that-is.

Seats are limited as we need lots of dancing space. So please book soon!

The two hour celebration will be in five stages:
Welcoming Dance
Initiation Dance
Ceremonial Dance : Dance of a Happy Heart
StoryTelling
Silence

*Men should carry black, brown or grey coloured scarfs/stoles. Women should get red, pink, orange or yellow scarf/stoles/dupattas.


About Damini:

Damini wears many hats. She is a creator of stories. Award winning filmmaker, cinematographer, writer. She is also an experiencer of stories. Thats how mystics see life. As a story. And the one who begins to experience it as such is a sadhak, a seeker. For more on her: www.youtube.com/prabhudamini

Tantra is Love: An Invitation to Melt in Love and Consciousness

Love is not what we think it is. We are all looking for the experience of Love, because there is nothing more fulfilling than Love. At the same time we are very scared of Love, because in Love we have to be true, we have to drop our mind games, we have to be naked in front of the other. Love is almost like dying. Still everyone looks for Love, because without Love our Soul cannot fly.

In our group we explore this dilemma. Tantra offers a way to meet with the Truth that we are. To come out of dreams and illusions, and connect with our eternal being of love and light. By our TantraMeditation Practice, we bring more consciousness into our Heart, and open a way to start Rising in Love instead of falling. Tantra is the way of Conscious Love, and only conscious love can nourish our Soul, so that our life becomes a Celebration, a Dance of Love and Joy.

The Meditative Art of Calligraphy

About Calligraphy

Calligraphy goes beyond beautiful handwriting; it is meditation-in-movement where the mind, body and soul come together in unison.

The process of creating a piece of calligraphy is like an experience of ‘celestial dance’ on paper… where you dip the bamboo pen in the inkpot, pause to take a deep breath and then put all your concentration on creating a visual masterpiece. It requires the discipline of focusing all one’s attention to each stroke. In today's fast paced life, Calligraphy is an  art of being centered in the Here-and-Now.

In This Workshop

Aiyana will guide us, step-by-step, in the discipline and rhythm of creating the fundamental calligraphy strokes, using the treasure tools of calligraphy – the oblique nib reed pen, ink and paper. The workshop will be followed by the screening of a film on calligraphy- Tears of Dancing Letters.
