Passion for Meditation
~ Living at the Maximum ~
With Shunyo & Marco
Thursday 6th June till Sunday 9th June
Do you ever feel that something is missing in your life, but you cannot pinpoint what it is?
Through meditation you may discover some destiny to fulfill, and through relaxed and loving awareness you will have the tools to explore what you really want and who you are underneath all the social layers.
Passion is creative, it creates energy. It is fire.
Passion is life…and it is the only way for meditation to exist!
This workshop consists of techniques from Osho’s “Book of Secrets”, as well as Osho’s active meditations.
The Book of Secrets is an ancient tantric text of 112 techniques. It contains the whole science of meditation, reborn for the 21st century.
All the techniques are for a growing alertness, becoming more conscious.
They are based in different senses. Some deal with the eyes, with looking; sound and listening; touch and sensitivity.
The meditations also relate to the different energy centers in the body, especially our heart center and emotions.
Every aspect of our daily life can become a meditation.
These simple methods will sometimes be practiced with a partner and sometimes alone, some are still and silent and some are with movement.
Music specially created for the meditations and dance helps us to move from the head to the heart, and with Marco playing live music it makes the experience both heartful and light.
Reality is nothing special and extraordinary – it is there, it is everywhere. Only your mind is an unreal thing. Mind creates illusion, MAYA, mind creates dreams – and then you are clouded in them. And you are trying to do the impossible, that which cannot be done: you are trying to find the real through the mind. You lose the real through the mind, you cannot find it through the mind. You have to drop the mind completely.
Yes, the way is right before your eyes – but you are not there.
(OSHO. “And the Flowers Showered” chp.5)
Your Facilitators
Shunyo’s training in meditation and awareness began whilst living for fourteen years in close contact with Osho, as part of his personal staff.
During the twenty years she was living in the OSHO International Meditation Resort she trained as a facilitator in Osho Mystic Rose, as well as hypnosis for meditation and all of Osho’s meditation techniques.
Music and movement are an important part of Shunyo’s work in her courses, and this, coupled with her intuitive, heartfelt way of working, allows participants to touch very deep levels of peace and silence. Music by Veet Marco has been specifically created as a support in the meditations.
Shunyo is the director of the OSHO Institute for Vipassana and Zazen. (www.oshovipassana.com)
Her book, that Osho asked her to write, is translated in many languages – the English title is “My Diamond Days with Osho”.
Veet Marco
Musician and spiritual seeker, in 1979 became a disciple of Osho, and has since experimented with sounds and music applied to meditation.
Since 1995 he plays live in events and meditation groups worldwide.
He has composed many CDs for meditation available on www.meditantra.com, click on the picture above for more info. These meditations are ancient tantric liberation techniques.

‘A Meditating seminar, a Vipassana retreat or a Meditation Training with Shunyo is a delight.
Simplicity is what Shunyo transmits – her many years with Osho permeates the whole atmosphere and
throughout the seminars her inner silence and presence “points out” the direction.
Her laughter and easiness, her joy and her love is a precious support.
Time with Shunyo is a journey towards “being in meditation” – love and gratitude’
‘Shunyo and Marco brought such a precious gift with their work.
I am so thrilled to have been in such a beautiful group with them.
The music was so fitting with the meditations and really celebrative, and then came the full and joyful emersion into silence.’
‘I have been participating in Osho’s “Book of Secrets” based meditation groups offered by Shunyo and Marco since… maybe 20 years. And every time is as the first time: powerful energy experiences, heart opening dimensions, touching music notes, rhythms and tunes… very supportive to the specific technic.
The “Book of Secrets” techniques as proposed by them are based, of course, on Osho’s words, but the way they have structured the meditation with those words is genial and very effective.
In these courses I have understood very well what it means that “energy follows imagination”.
I am very grateful for the loving support, sensitivity and insight of Shunyo and to the lightness and friendly easiness of Marco. With them I could easily say I have learned very much about how to meditate and especially in a joyous and easy way!’
‘Last year, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a meditation event in Italy with Shunyo and Marco.
Shunyo, an expert in facilitating meditations based on Osho’s Book of Secrets, was joined by Marco, whose enchanting music added a whole new dimension to the experience.
Words cannot convey the sheer bliss of those sessions – the air was charged with a tangible intensity of silence, and the sky seemed to burst into a joyous celebration that melted our hearts. Shunyo and Marco are undoubtedly gifts to humanity.
Their presence taught us invaluable lessons in embracing silence, becoming more self-aware, and finding happiness within ourselves. I am overjoyed that I traveled all the way from the USA to attend this unforgettable event.’
‘Between 2019 and 2023 I have participated to many Vipassana and Zazen retreats, trainings, festivals and group activities facilitated by Shunyo and Marco – and all I can say to describe my experience with them is that words are not the right tool for this job. And yet, if I really had to put all of this in a few words, I would say that what I love about their approach is the genuine love and respect for Osho.One can immediately perceive this while listening to Marco’s music for Osho’s Book of Secrets meditations, as well as to Shunyo’s guidelines for the techniques. Their humility beggars belief, considering the fact that they have spent most of their life doing this – and yet, they show up as humble as the last ones arrived.
In truth, what I am mostly grateful about, beyond everything else, is the honour of calling them “friends”. And believe me, you do feel welcome as a friend, when you meet them. What more one could ask for?’
‘Why did I join the Meditation course with Shunyo and Marco three years in a row?
Because it is simply the most delicious, beautiful heart space, making meditation so easy, creating such a lighthearted atmosphere and giving me delightful experiences of… sweet nothing. Just wonderful.’
