So come and replenish yourself at the home of soul revival in the UK, the incomparable Osho Leela!
Superb food, fresh air, beautiful people, amazing music in wall to wall vivencias and of course, a wild dress-up party night, will make this event the highlight of your summer!

An invite from Niraj…
This year I’m delighted to welcome dear old friend and peer Ruth Strupinski, Co-director of the London School of Biodanza and ‘keeper of the flame’ for Biodanza in the capital for so many years back to the teaching team! ☺️ It will be a poignant moment, as she only ever taught here with beloved colleague Pip Kennan, whom we so sadly lost last year. 😓
Also returning (from 2022) is Yamil Yasa (Uruguay), a fellow globe-trotting ambassador for Biodanza and beautiful, genuine, sweet, masculine soul.
Very regular contributors to festivities over the years and also dear and respected friends, Richard Golsworthy (Scot) and the inimitable, irrepressible Milarepa (Dorset!) will be back too sharing their expertise, creativity and fun, (above all fun), with us all!
(Two more teachers to be confirmed in the coming weeks)
You can expect all the usual goodies this longstanding event supplies, delicious food, fresh air, stunning grounds, a phone-free environment for 3 days (a what??? 🤔), a hugely convivial atmosphere, dance, celebration, Improv comedy, bonfire, sauna, friendship, togetherness, belonging, intimacy, expansion, camaraderie, pleasure, happiness, the bar, Coffee Shop and a right old knees up on the last night!
Go on…you know you want to! Book now to ensure your place (particularly if you want indoor accommodation) and see you on the dancefloor!
