| The year 2000 saw the
first Osho Festival of Meditation and Celebration in Italy. Since
then this annual event has exploded, from 200 people who took part
in that first year, to over 1000 people in 2003. Thanks
to its success, the Festival has now outgrown its original home
in Varazze, and in 2004 it moves to a 4-star conference-hotel complex
on the Adriatic Sea in Riccione. The facilities include a huge Congress
Center with a main Hall of 1000 square meters, 6 additional workshop
and session spaces, a private beach, a pine wood, bar and restaurant,
and an indoor heated swimming pool.
| “A meditator needs no personal guidance.
A meditator, on the contrary, needs only one thing: the atmosphere
of meditation. He needs other meditators; he needs to be surrounded
by other meditators. Because whatever goes on happening within
us is not only within us, it affects people who are close by.
In this communion people are at different stages of meditation.
To meditate with these people, just to sit silently with these
people, and you will be pulled more and more towards your own
intrinsic potentiality.” |
The overwhelming success of the Festivals has been
a result of the huge energy-wave of so many people meditating together,
making the vibration of meditation a very tangible experience for
all the participants, whether they were Osho friends or totally
new participants. This was exactly the aim of the organisers - to
make a space available where an intense energy field transforms
the reality of meditating together into an experience of rare beauty.
.
A confirmation that such an event fills a deeply felt need, comes
from the bookings: at the time of writing (insert month), over 500
people had already confirmed their participation for the 2004 Festival.
The Festival days, 15th - 18th of April 2004, will
offer a very rich program to meet all tastes. The vast multi-hall
structure of the Complex has made it possible to offer more than
one event at the same time, vastly enlarging the program. There
will be Meditation events (the Osho Active Meditations and others
from the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra), Celebration events (disco party,
a Milarepa concert, shell vibes concert, tribal music), a series
of Workshops with Anando, Dance classes (Gurdjieff dances, Metaphysical
Dance, Oriental dance), Family Constellation demonstrations with
Siddho, the biggest AUM meditation in the world, Martial Arts classes
and Voice work.
The idea is to present a wide perspective of the different paths
to meditation, so that everybody can choose the ones which suit
best.
  
And this is not all: there will be also mini-sessions
offering 30 different kinds of body techniques, Osho Divine Healing
classes on the beach, and much more.

Many friends came to previous Festivals from France,
Switzerland, Austria and Germany, making it an international affair.
In 2004, the organizers are expecting even more foreign visitors,
as the Rimini area is a well-known tourist destination, easy to
reach from all over Europe.
A regenerating spring 2004 break on the Green Pearl
of the Adriatic, meeting old friends and making new ones, recharging
your batteries with rejuvenating meditation and celebration events…
sound tempting?
