- Puna - Osho Meditatoin Resort -
This lush contemporary 40-acre campus is a tropical oasis where
nature and the 21st Century blend seamlessly, both within and
without. With its white marble pathways, elegant black buildings,
abundant foliage and Olympic-sized swimming pool, it is the
perfect setting to take time out for yourself. This is a place
where you can simply relax and where you can also enjoy the
company of visitors of all ages from over 100 countries. You can
choose if you want to do something, or if you just want to rest,
swim, meditate — or just to be. You can learn simple Osho
Active Meditations, techniques specifically designed for the
contemporary over-charged mind and stress-impacted body. You may
like to nourish your body-mind-soul with a stunning selection of
individual sessions, like bodywork and massage, and longer
workshops and courses — all designed to help you become more
aware of yourself. Or perhaps experiment by learning new life
skills and acquiring tools to take home, that will help you remain
relaxed even in the busiest of workaday environments. The key to
relaxation is awareness, being a keen observer of all that is
going on both inside and around us — this is the inner
science, often also called meditation. And while we each walk this
walk alone, it is more supportive and more fun to share the
process with others, whether during the various daytime
activities, or in the evening — trying out a new meditation
technique, or enjoying an evening a party, dancing, or the plaza
café, watching or participating in live theater events or
just going to the movies. Above all this is a unique environment
created through the awareness, humor, and celebration that each of
us brings to the table. www.osho.com
