Beloved Friends, it has been a long time coming...We have finally arranged one of the first 2 nights, 3 days, residential meditation retreat this summer 2009!

We have the privilege of having Sw. Anand Arun, an intimate disciple of Osho for the last 4o years, conduct the OSHO Meditation Camp!

Sw. Anand Arun is the founder and coordinator of Osho Tapoban, a thriving international commune and forest retreat center in Nepal. He has been an Osho disciple since the early 70s and has been leading meditation camps, workshops and talk-programs all over the world.

We had a wonderful meditation camp last year with him and we encourage and invite friends to participate in this wonderful opportunity to meditate and celebrate.
The Glimpses of last year's camp is available here.

The OSHO Meditation Camp 2009 will be held in the beautiful picturesque Northumberland Heights Conference and Retreat Center in Cobourg, Ontario (just one hour east of Toronto). Surrounded by rolling hills, a distant view of lake ontario, 80 acres of uninhabited forest and beautiful trails, the location is a diamond in the rough.

Ma Dharm Jyoti is one of Osho’s first disciples during his time in Bombay. She is the author of an internationally renowned book, 100 Tales for Ten Thousand Buddhas.

"This is an invitation to explore a new way of life. Each moment in our life, we are at a cross road: between unawareness and awareness, between being absent or being present. The mind lives in a sort of sleep. In this weekend intensive we will have another look at our lives and will experiment with some of the chosen techniques devised by Osho, to rediscover our real being in its innocence and purity. Osho defines meditation as total sensitivity. This workshop can lead you to an experience of inner harmony, relaxation and expanded awareness. To find our real being is the greatest achievement in spirituality. Then each moment is celebration.Let us meditate and celebrate together. "

"Happiness happens when you fit with your life, when you fit so harmoniously that whatsoever you are doing is your joy. Then suddenly you will come to know: meditation follows you. If you love the work that you are doing, if you love the way you are living, then you are meditative. "

"
Meditation is not contemplation because it is not thinking at all – consistent, inconsistent, crazy, sane. It is not thinking at all; it is witnessing. It is just sitting silently deep within yourself, looking at whatsoever is happening inside and outside both. Outside there is traffic noise, inside there is also traffic noise -- the traffic in the head. So many thoughts – trucks and buses of thoughts and trains and airplanes of thoughts, rushing in every direction. But you are simply sitting aloof, unconcerned, watching everything with no evaluation.
