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.


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?
