Using the medium of Biodanza\, a series of dance\, movements and exercises that create space for a deep experience within oneself and with others. Each workshop is led as a vivencia\, a space in which words are dropped and the deep wisdom of the body is entered.\nNiraj has been into Biodanza since 1997\, leads the teacher training program\, and is also trained in the Osho Humaniversity training. He also has specialisation certificates to teach Biodanza and the Four Elements\, Biodanza in Nature\, Biodanza and Shamanism\, AquaBiodanza\, Biodanza for Children\, Biodanza and Massage\, Contact Education\, The Heart of Transformation\, the Minotaur Project and the Argonaut Mission.

He has currently been traveling around America for more than a year and enjoys dancing in the streets\, parks and beaches\, whenever possible.\nHe trained as a Bachelor of Sociology at the University of the Republic\, a Recreation Technician at the Catholic University and also a Biodaza Facilitator/Teacher. He was invited as a teacher at the Faculty of Psychology of the public University for five years\, to facilitate Biodanza courses of his authorship. He also facilitates regular Biodanza groups and has lived in Recife Brazil for a year to work and participate in Biodanza. He also loves facilitating Biodanza intensives with friends from various countries in America and Europe as a source of constant learning.Ruth StrupinskiMy passion is Biodanza. I’m just back from Poland where I was introducing Biodanza to a group of people\, some of whom had experienced Biodanza before and some who were new to it. I find it very rewarding to be setting people off on the process of self rediscovery through the tried and tested system of Biodanza.\nI have been running a weekly class of Biodanza in Richmond successfully for over 20 years I am also a co-director of the London School of Biodanza and in October we are excited to be embarking on our 5th 3 year cycle of the facilitator training.\nMy specialisations are:- Children’s Biodanza; The Minotaur Project; Biodanza Voice Music & Percussion; The Tree of Desires; Identity and The 4 Elements.Richard GolsworthyI’m a Didactic Biodanza Facilitator based near Glasgow. My Biodanza journey started in 1998\, leading to many years of learning and teaching Biodanza in the UK and abroad. I also practice as a Registered Counselling Psychologist\, providing psychological therapy and leading a counselling psychology training programme at Glasgow Caledonian University. (I make sure to include some movement and vivencial-based learning for my students!) In a world where identity differences often take the focus\, I love the simple human heart of Biodanza\, connecting us through shared feeling and needs. \nMilarepaAfter a tumultuous first Biodanza experience on the dancefloor in Zorba\, I went on to train in the first cycle of the Dorset School of Biodanza. Since then I have been running a Monday night Biodanza class in Hampshire/Dorset which is now in its 13th year. Alongside this\, I’ve been bringing Biodanza to a growing number of care homes in the area\, specialising in working with people living with dementia. Perhaps my favourite setting for teaching though is at festivals and the International Festival of Biodanza has to be the pinnacle of that experience. I’m so looking forward to being back in that magical space. It’s always such a heart-full crowd and it always reaffirms my faith in the power of music\, dance and human connection to make a positive change in the world.Valerie KattenfeldI am very excited to be part of this festival since it was Niraj who has opened the gate for Biodanza in my life – I did my very first vivencia with him in 2017 in India!! In the meantime I have moved from Vienna to London to Buenos Aires\, originally for Tango Argentino\, but then I fell in love with Biodanza too. I had the great honor to be taught by Veronica Toro (eldest daughter of Rolando) and Raul Terren and the pleasure to be in their weekly group. I facilitate in Buenos Aires and go on tour once a year – just now I gave a vivencia at the Biodanza world congress in Venice and have given several workshops all over Europe. In 2022 I gave a TEDx talk in Patagonia about the power of Biodanza. My special passion is “Biotango” – the beautiful fusion of Biodanza and Tango. Besides that I am also facilitating workshops about conscious sexuality and teaching at various Tantra festivals! \nCLICK HERE FOR BOOKING AND PAYMENTPowered by Workshop Angel \nDetails\nStart: Thursday August 1st @ 4:00 pm / Weekend tickets – start Friday arrive from 4pm \n\nEnd: Sunday August 4th @ 3:30 pm \n  \n\n\nPrice Festival Tickets (includes food & camping with own tent): \n£355 (Early Bird till 11th July £325) SAVE £30 – Earlybird extended now £325 up until 1/8/24\nWeekend only ticket: £260 (arrive after 4pm on 2/8/24) \nAccommodation:\nOwn campervan £0 (plus £15 hook up if needed)\nDorm £60\nDorm bunk bed deluxe £90\nRegular room £135\nLarge room £150\nPremium room £165\nSingle pod: £120\nDouble pod: £165\nGlamping Bell Tent: £135\n2 Berth Caravan: £180\nAccommodation is allocated on a first come first served basis.\nCheck here for our accommodation and facilitiesCLICK HERE FOR BOOKING AND PAYMENTPowered by Workshop Angel \nI LIKE TO BE A VOLUNTEER

SUMMARY:Emergent Eros
DESCRIPTION:*** Applications for Emergent Eros are now CLOSED. If your application has already been approved (check your spam/junk/promotions folders if you haven’t seen a response)\, you can still book in until 5pm on Tuesday 13th August ***\nEmergent Eros: Authentic Aliveness through Intimacy & Embodiment \nWednesday 14th August till Sunday 18th August\n \n\nImagine moving through the world integrated and assured in yourself.
 \nImagine living in a state of self-acceptance where you trust in your authentic expression.
 \nImagine feeling fully alive and in intimate relationship with Life. \n\n\nYou are invited to an innovative paradigm-shifting retreat at Osho Leela this Summer. \nOffered for the very first time\, this is a group journey of exploration over four days. The event is curated by Catherine Hale and Gayatri Beegan\, and inspired by a “Culture of Care”. \nWe take what is best in a festival – top-notch facilitators sharing their gifts\, a cornucopia of offerings\, community\, ceremony and celebration – and place within the circle of holding and care offered by a retreat. \nThe four-day immersive retreat will follow a journey arc of arriving and resourcing\, exploration\, expansion\, celebration\, and integration. \nWe root deep in embodiment and trauma-informed practice to provide solid ground for exploration. \nWe fly high on the wings of love and awareness to create heart-awakening soul-nourishing experiences. \nThis is where the magic happens. \nImagine a place where you get to…\n \n• Be comfortable and at ease in your body so that you can expand into deeper and richer experiences. \n• Feel safe enough to lean into your edges without being pressured to push over them. \n• Cultivate transformational intimacy practices that ripple out into every aspect of relating. \n• Experience the aliveness of Eros and intimacy through embodiment. \n• Connect with the goodness of life through enriching encounters for body\, heart and soul\, so that there is more of you available for the world. \n• Access a renewed sense of awe and wonder at the potential of life. Dancing in intimate relationship with All That Is. \nWhat you can expect\n\n\nWe have invited our favourite transformational facilitators who are not only pioneers in their field but also committed to creating a “more beautiful world our hearts know is possible” (as said by Charles Eisenstein).  \nFacilitators of…  \n♡ Intimacy and relational practice  \n♡ Embodiment and movement  \n♡ Music and ecstatic dance \n♡ Touch and eros  \n♡ Sacred ceremonial space  \nThe retreat experience will be further supported by…  \n♡ Sharing pods  \n♡ Care Team  \n♡ Integration and restoration \n\n\nWhilst we offer a retreat schedule to give a sense of the journey we will embark upon together\, the facilitation team will also be tuning into the collective field of the retreat and adjusting according to the needs and vibe of the group. Form provides containment for flow to emerge. Structure creates safe(r) space for spontaneity to arise. \nTogether we are creating a new way of Being. \n\nThe Pillars of our Togetherness\nCuriosity\, Playfulness & Innocence
\nReleasing the old scripts and stories and returning to original innocence. Letting go of assumptions\, expectations and preconceptions and inviting aliveness through curiosity and playfulness. Moving beyond what we think we know and expanding into the emergent moment.\n \nPermission\, Acceptance & Attunement\n\n\nPermission to be you and to bring all of you into the space. Acceptance of difference and diversity in our embodiment and expression. Creating harmonious connections to Self\, Other and Spirit. \n\nMessiness & Humanity
\nWe are not only individuals on our unique journey but also social animals in a collective space. We acknowledge the complex and sometimes messy business of human relating. Particularly when we are dismantling assumptions and pre-conceptions in order to imagine a better vision of humanity. \nAwe & Reverence

Who is this for?\n\n\nYou’ve read the retreat blurb and feel aliveness in your being.\nYou are curious about exploring intimacy and sexuality in expansive and emergent ways.\nYou’ve been on a journey of personal growth\, and you intuitively feel called to explore intimacy\, sexuality and embodiment.\nYou’ve been wanting to come to Osho Leela and waiting for the right moment. Or you’ve been to their sexuality festivals in the past and wondering “What’s next?”\nYou want to experience a retreat where care and attention is given to the bigger picture\, including inclusivity and diversity of all kinds. \nYou care about how you show up in the world and want to be in spaces that support this.\n\nWho is this not for?\n\n\nYou are baffled or bored by the retreat blurb.\nYou’ve heard that Osho Leela is a sexy place and are hoping to just get laid.\nYou are new to any kind of personal development work\, especially intimacy\, sexuality and embodiment.\n\nYou always come to the Osho Leela sexuality festivals and you expect this will be the same as before.\nYou have no interest in the bigger picture.\n\nA Culture of Care seeks to repair endemic systems of harm by inviting momentum towards post traumatic growth as a possibility for all of humanity. \nPricing\, Reciprocity & Sustainability \nThere is a new paradigm emerging for transformational spaces. We – Catherine Hale and Gayatri Beegan – intend to establish a new standard for space-holding through a “Culture of Care”. One that acknowledges the attention given before the retreat starts\, holding during the retreat\, and integration required after the retreat ends. One that creates sustainability for the space-holders. One that better serves you the participant. \nThis requires a step up in pricing. We acknowledge that this may come as a surprise to folks used to more low-level financial investment for an event at Osho Leela. We have thought carefully about how to balance the need for holding the retreat sustainably with the desire to make these spaces accessible to as many people as possible. \nWe are offering the following pricing structure: \n\nFirst Release – £450 (Sold Out)\nSecond Release – £550 (Sold Out)\nThird Release – £650 \n\nThere is a set number of tickets in each release. When they are gone\, they are gone. \n\nScholarship Price – £350 The scholarship places have all been allocated. \n\nWe have 5 scholarship places available for people who are drawn to this retreat but would otherwise not be able to join due to limited access to financial resources. Such as being a solo parent\, on welfare support\, or someone who works for community\, charity\, or activist organisations (without other source of financial wealth). If you wish to be considered for a concession place\, please state this on your intake form and share more about your specific situation. We trust that only those who most need this special price will request it. \n\nPayment Plans are available for all tickets to spread out the cost. Instalments must be complete before the 1st August. \n\nPracticalities\nArrival: Wednesday August 14th 2024 from 11 am (lunch at 1 pm)\nEnd:  Sunday August 18th 2024 @ 4:30 pm \n\nTicket price includes retreat\, food & camping with your own tent gear or camper van. \n \nWe are offering the following pricing structure: \nFirst Release – £450 (Sold Out)\, Second Release – £550 (Sold Out) and Third Release – £650 \nThere is a set number of each wave of tickets.

Whilst acknowledging the messy and complex business of being human. In order to support you most fully in this experience\, we have created an intake process for all participants. \nThe intention of this intake process is two-fold. Firstly\, it gives you the opportunity to reflect on your own journey with eros\, intimacy and embodiment so that you can decide if this is the right event for you. Secondly\, it supports us in best supporting you before\, during and after the event. It is part of our commitment to a Culture of Care. \nPlease complete the questions as fully and honestly as you can. The information you provide is held in confidence by Catherine and Gayatri.

His ability to manifest using ceremony and magic supports him and friends to positive realise the longing in their hearts. \nBayari is a sensual alchemist who transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. \nShe loves to hold space for creativity\, healing and connecting the sacred and the mystical. One of her alchemical gifts is offering a gateway to sacred oils and layers of vibration. She brings a warm\, fun-loving approach to all that she does. \nAnd many exciting workshops and offerings …\nBhavo\, The Alchemy of Empowerment\n \nIn this workshop Bhavo will be working with a few people\, individually in front of the group\, so you can experience how it is to be witnessed\, you are supported by Bhavo and team on a conceptual stage. In this safe and supported space of the heart\, you are guided to drop any masks and barriers\, releasing old fears and self-judgements. In this deep relaxation your heart\, throat and power centres can open. \nBy doing this inner work\, and being affirmed and supported\,you begin to let go of feelings of low self worth and the inner critic dissolves. You start to “get it” that you have the right to express your truth and stand in your power. This expansion gives you access to live your life free from old fears and shadows of the past\, and nurtures self-awareness\, grace and lightness. This will pave the way for you to start bringing through your own gifts and offerings and put you on the path of owning and living your creativity. \nMa Deva Padma\, The Sacred She Tarot \nMa Deva Padma first travelled to India and became a disciple of Osho (then Rajneesh) in 1975. Since that time she has devoted her life to producing inspiring works that encourage spiritual growth. \nThe Sacred She Tarot was born. The timing is right for The Sacred She Tarot to offer soulful nourishment and clarity as we transition out of an exhausted old-world order burdened under the weight of aggressive yang\, male dominance. The Sacred She aims to help right that imbalance by illuminating a path toward the divine feminine principles of respect\, nurture\, and inner peace\, regardless of gender. \nLaura Mitchell\, Voice Medicine Magic\n \nDiscover the liberating and healing power of your voice through sacred traditions and contemporary vocal techniques. Sound waves interact with the unique vibrations of everything in the universe\, including ourselves\, aligning or altering frequencies. Your voice acts as the conduit to unlock this extraordinary power for transformation\, healing\, and self-liberation.

These have been scientifically designed by Osho\, over a long period of experimentation\, for the contemporary world. \nThey enable us to consciously express\, experience\, and release repressed feelings and emotions and to bring the body back to a relaxed harmony. Then the journey inwards can begin. Many people have found these techniques immensely helpful\, freeing and joyful. \nIn Osho’s vision\, meditation is a playful\, experimental and celebratory experience. Helping to create this atmosphere we’ll have live music for the Nataraj (dancing) and Mahamudra (latihan and prayer) meditations as well as for the daily Evening Meeting. This latter involves dancing\, sitting and watching a video of Osho in discourse\, and ends with Osho guiding us deep inside. \nWe’ll also be screening episodes from Lakshen’s brilliant docu-series Ten Thousand Shades of Ocean\, which tells the story of Osho and his work and features many testimonies from those who knew him directly. \nBetween them the team has over a century of experience of these meditations and we’ve run all sorts of events and retreats over the years. We’re passionate about these meditations and we’re always happy to share what we’ve discovered and answer any questions you might have. \nOur programme is a great introduction for those who are new to Osho and his meditations\, and perfect for those who already know them and want to enjoy some more! \nSo come along and discover an alive\, flowing experience of meditation – through movement\, sound\, expression\, playfulness\, celebration… and silence. \n\n\n\n\n\nCLICK HERE FOR THE FULL SCHEDULE CLICK HERE FOR BOOKING AND PAYMENTPowered by Workshop Angel \n\nDetails \nStart: Thursday August 22nd @ 3:00 pm\nEnd: Monday August 26th @ 2:00 pm \nRegistration Ticket: £320 (includes festival & food & camping with your own tent or caravan) \nEarly Bird till 1st August: £290 \nAccommodation:\nDorm £80\nOwn campervan £0 (plus £3 p/d for hook up if needed)\nDorm Bunk Deluxe £120\nRegular room £180\nLarge room £200\nPremium room £220\nSingle pod £160\nDouble pod £180\nGlamping in bell tent £160\n2 Berth Caravan £240 \nFor more info about accommodation and facilities click here. \nCLICK HERE FOR BOOKING AND PAYMENTPowered by Workshop Angel \nAPPLY HERE TO BE A VOLUNTEER
