SUMMARY:Osho Meditation Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Osho Meditation Retreat\n~ Action without Action ~\n\n\nwith Nishok\, Archan and Prabuddho \nand with live music from Tarisha & friends\n \n\n\nThursday 4th December till Sunday 7th December 2025\n \n\n\n\n‘People come and ask me why I teach active meditations. Because that is the only way to find inaction: dance to the uttermost\, dance in a frenzy\, dance madly. And if your whole energy is involved in it\, a moment comes when suddenly you see the dance is happening on its own\, there is no effort in it\, it is action without action.‘  –Osho   \nImmerse yourself in Osho’s amazing and simple active meditation techniques for the modern world. \nDiscover an alive\, flowing experience of meditation\, through movement\, sound\, expression\, playfulness\, celebration… and silence. \nExplore a range of Osho Meditations\, learning techniques to practise at home\, and find insights into your true self. \nNourish the inner and relax into your being at this retreat in the beautiful Dorset countryside. \nWith Osho video talks in the evenings\, live music and time for sharing. \nThe retreat is perfect for those encountering these meditations for the first time and perfect for those who wish to continue the journey. \n\n\nOSHO Active Meditations® \nOsho has experimented and scrutinised all the approaches of the past and examined their effects on the modern human being. He has responded to their shortcomings by creating a starting point for the hyperactive 21st century mind: OSHO Active Meditations®. Once the agitation of a modern lifetime has started to settle\, “activity” can melt into “passivity”\, a key starting point for of real meditation.\nTo support this next step\, Osho has transformed the ancient “art of listening” into a subtle contemporary methodology: the OSHO Talks. Here words become music\, the listener discovers who is listening\, and the awareness moves from what is being heard to the individual doing the listening. \n\nSome of Osho’s Active Meditations… \nDynamic – Osho’s breakthrough meditation\, intense and enlivening \nNadabrahma – a humming meditation with gentle movement and silence \nKundalini – shake\, dance and be still \nNataraj – dance as a total meditation \n\nFirst you have to learn how to dance\, and you have to put all your energies into dancing. And one day that strange experience happens when suddenly the dancer disappears in the dance and the dance happens without any effort. Then it is inaction. First you have to learn action to go into inaction. That’s what meditation is all about. \nPeople come and ask me why I teach active meditations. Because that is the only way to find inaction: dance to the uttermost\, dance in a frenzy\, dance madly. And if your whole energy is involved in it\, a moment comes when suddenly you see the dance is happening on its own\, there is no effort in it – it is action without action. \nOsho The Secret of Secrets #1 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeditation is not against action. It is not that you have to escape from life. It simply teaches you a new way of life: you become the center of a cyclone. Your life goes on\, it goes on more intensely – with more joy\, with more clarity\, more vision\, more creativity… \nOsho From Misery to Enlightenment #2 \nThe Program Includes… \n\nOsho Dynamic\, Kundalini and Evening Meeting meditations with video discourse each day.\nA selection of other Osho Active Meditations\, see descriptions below.\nWorkshops – we call them Playshops! – exploring other techniques that Osho has described\, including from The Book of Secrets. These are techniques you can practise at home and in your day to day activities.\nTime for Sharing.\nLive music for meditation and celebration throughout the weekend section of the retreat.\nEvening Activities like sauna\, singing with live music and videos about Osho and sannyas.\n\n\nA Typical Day… \n07.00 am – Osho Dynamic Meditation \n08.00 am – Breakfast \n09.00 am – Meditation Playshop \n11.30 am – Osho Active Meditation such as Nataraj \n01.00 pm – Lunch \n02.30 pm – Osho Active Meditation such as Nadabrahma \n04.00 pm – Osho Kundalini Meditation \n05.45 pm – Osho video Discourse \n07.00 pm – Dinner \n08.30 pm – Evening Activity \n\nYour facilitators \n\nArchan\, Prabuddho and Nishok guide\, support and encourage participants so that they can dive fully into everything this retreat has to offer\, as meditators and facilitators\, together they have more than a century of experience around Osho and his meditations!  \nFully trained\, they have been involved in sharing these meditations at Retreats and Festivals at Leela for the past decade. \n\n\n\nLive Music\nTarisha and friends will add an extra sparkle to some of the meditations with their wonderful live music! \n\n\nTestimonials from participants in our Osho Meditation Retreat  \n\nGorgeous meditations – fabulous live music. \n\nI enjoyed the lightness and the playfulness of the facilitation.

SUMMARY:Ancestral Womb Healing
DESCRIPTION:Ancestral Womb Healing \nHonouring The Mother Line \nThursday 4th December to Sunday 7th December \nHeld in Gaia Yurt  \nSacred Winter workshop for Women \nThis workshop is a sacred container where women can return to the deep connection\, wisdom\, and love of the womb space.  \nThrough movement\, stillness\, ritual\, and sisterhood\, we will create a space to explore\, connect more deeply\, and celebrate who we are.  \nWe will weave and honour our female lineage from a place of compassion and respect. \nWhen we reconnect with our womb space and our motherline\, we return to a sense of wholeness.  \nFrom this place\, we become more open to love\, able to give and receive in ways that are healthy\, balanced\, and true. \n\nWe will be held by the sacred land of Leela and Gaia Yurt\, where energetic ley lines cross\, in nature\, enhancing our healing journey and connection with Mother Earth \n\nWhy honouring the Feminine Lineage and Womb healing Matters Now\nWe are living in a world that has long asked women to disconnect\, from their bodies\, their cycles\, their emotions\, their intuition\, and their power. The feminine has been silenced\, dismissed\, and devalued. But this is now changing\, and we are part of this change. \nThe womb or womb space\, physical or energetic\, is a powerful emotional and ancestral center. It holds memory. It holds pain. It holds potential. It holds the light of creation. \nThrough conscious connection with our wombs\, we can gently clear inherited patterns\, release emotional residue\, and reconnect with our sacred creative life force. Every time a woman listens to her womb\, she heals a thread of the feminine\, within herself and within the greater web of womanhood. \nWe will gently honour our female lineage\, not by needing everything to be healed or forgiven\, but by meeting what arises with honesty\, compassion\, and respect.  \nWe will listen to the stories and beliefs that lives in our wombs and bodies\, releasing what no longer  serves\, what is stopping us to be fully be\, and to embrace all our parts\, in an act of love and devotion to ourselves. \nWe don’t just inherit wounds: we also inherit resources\, gifts\, resilience\, and wisdom from our female ancestors. \nBeyond the personal\, honoring the mother line also connects us with the Mother Earth\, the Cosmic Mother\, the universal womb of life. \nWe are not alone\, we are part of all. \n\nBook Your Space HerePowered by Workshop Angel \nHealing with the Elements and the Mother Lineage\nDuring the workshop\, we will work with the elements of nature through movement and rituals as gateways into healing. Each one offers wisdom\, balance\, and support as we honour the lineage and return to wholeness. \nEarth: The Body – The Mother – GroundingWe will deepen our connection with Mother Earth and with our physical body through grounding practices\, body awareness\, and the exploration of womb consciousness. \n\nWater: The Emotions – The Flow – ReleaseWe will move with the water to wash away what is no longer ours to carry\, creating space for softness\, renewal\, and compassion. \n \nAir: The Voice – The Mind – Her Story\nWhat does the womb want to say? We will give voice to the feminine\, reclaiming the right to speak\, express\, and know. \nFire: The Spirit – The Heart – The Sacred Flame\nThe fire of transformation\, passion\, and soul truth. We will re-connect with our inner flame and the Divine Feminine. \nDivine Feminine : Mother Earth\, Mary\, Mary Magdalene and the Rose Medicine\nThese archetypes figures and energies will be guiding and protecting us all the journey. \nWhat to Expect: \n✨ Guided womb meditations and visualizations \n✨ Rituals to honour the feminine lineage \n✨ Dance\, movement and somatic practices \n✨ Healing and nourishing sessions with sacred oils and co-regulation \n✨ Sharing circles in sisterhood \n✨ Creative expression and journaling \n✨ Nature time in beautiful sacred land of Leela\, including the Yoni Garden (a co-creation space for women) \n✨ Delicious\, nourishing vegetarian meals\, herbal teas\, and treats \n✨ Gentle guidance and full permission to honour your own rhythm \nWe will co-create a safe\, non-judgmental space where everything is optional\, and each woman is the sovereign of her own experience. \n\nWho is this weekend for? \nThis space is open to all women\, with or without a physical womb. \nWhether you’ve birthed children\, dreams\, or deep love\, \nwhether this work is new or familiar\, this is for you. \n\nYou may be: \nA woman seeking a deeper connection with your womb and womb consciousness\, or simply feeling curious about what this means for you. \nLonging to strengthen your intuition and inner wisdom\, so you feel clear and strong in yourself. \nFeeling called to return to your body\, your natural rhythms\, and your inner cycles. \nLonging to connect with Nature and Mother Earth. \nCurious about the feminine mysteries and your role in healing the collective. \nDesiring a sacred pause\,  a moment to rest\, breathe\, and nourish your spirit. \nWanting to connect with other women\, sharing wisdom and supporting each other  \nReady to explore and release what is keeping you from being fully yourself. \nWanting to celebrate who you are and honour the woman you are \n\nThis journey may also support you with: \nReconnecting with your feminine essence and cycles \nAwakening your creativity and passion \nBuilding confidence in your body \nReleasing stored emotional pain \nSupporting your mood and mental wellbeing \nNavigating transitions (peri-menopause\, menopause\, motherhood\, etc.) \nConnecting with the Divine Feminine within \nMeet your Facilitator\nAmiyaAmiya is a sensitive\, intuitive\, and creative woman from Spain who has been connected with the Leela centre since 2013.

SUMMARY:The Biodanza Christmas Celebration Spectacular
DESCRIPTION:The Biodanza Christmas Celebration Spectacular \nwith Niraj and Milarepa \nFriday December 12 – Sunday December 14 \nThis Christmas… Dance Into Joy\, Connection & Meaning \nLet’s face it\, Christmas can be full of noise\, pressure\, and commercial fluff. \nWhat if this year\, you gave yourself something real? \nJoin us for a weekend of heart-opening celebration\, soulful connection\, and joyous embodiment.  \nCelebrate the season through the dance of life itself\, Biodanza. \nLed by Niraj & Milarepa\, this special event invites you to reconnect with the true spirit of giving\, receiving\, and being. \n\nWhat is Biodanza \nBiodanza is a system of human integration\, emotional development\, and renewal through music\, dance\, and authentic connections.  \nDeveloped by Rolando Toro in the 1960s. \nBiodanza encourages a joyful\, expressive way of living that enhances well-being and deepens relationships with oneself and others. \nThis is not about performance. It’s about remembering your aliveness\, moving from the heart\, and reconnecting with your essential vitality. \nRolando Toro \n\nWhat to Expect \nFriday: After a nourishing meal (locally sourced from Leela’s own grounds!)\, we land together with a grounding Vivencia to drop into our bodies and the group. \nSaturday: A day of lightness\, play\, creativity\, and celebration. Expect festive joy\, community dancing\, laughter\, and heartfelt togetherness. \nSaturday Evening: Bonfire & optional carol singing with the Leela community. Secret Santa gift exchange (Details upon booking\, bring something meaningful\, not expensive) \nSunday: We rise into the line of Transcendence\, dancing toward feelings of unconditional love\, Oneness\, and deep spiritual connection\, the sacred essence of the season. \nFinal integration Vivencia & sharing circle to honour and digest the journey\, leaving you nourished in body\, heart\, and soul. \n\nWho is this for … \n✔️ Curious newcomers ready to taste the joy and depth of Biodanza \n✔️ Past students and graduates of Dorset School of Biodanza or other schools looking to reconnect \n✔️ Teachers seeking inspiration and community \n✔️ Lovers of movement\, music\, and embodied connection \n✔️ Supporters of the next generation of Biodanza facilitators \n\n\nBook here!Powered by Workshop Angel \n\nWhat you’ll receive … \n✔️ Authentic connection with others\, away from the distractions of everyday life \n✔️ Joyful\, playful\, and celebratory experiences through creative movement \n✔️ A felt sense of love\, unity\, and presence \n✔️ A weekend of digital detox and deep presence in a beautiful\, grounded space \n✔️ Delicious organic meals (no turkey\, we promise!) and a loving environment \n\n\nNiraj Skilbeck\, facilitator \nNiraj co-leads the Dorset School of Biodanza alongside Milarepa Burgin\, graduate of the first cycle of the training from 2008-2011 and is highly skilled at introducing people to the profound depths biodanza has to offer\, such as sensitivity\, sensuality\, touch\, affection and authentic expression. 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 involved in 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 been involved in teaching Biodanza in 20+ countries. \nMilarepa Burgin\, facilitator \nMy first experience of Biodanza was with Niraj during the Spring Festival at Osho Leela in 2006. That initial vivencia had a deeply profound effect on my life\, something which continues to resonate even now\, and I remember saying to Niraj “if you ever decide to train people in this\, you can count me in”. \nAfter almost 20 years of dancing\, with nearly 15 of those years as a facilitator\, it feels that life has come full-circle as we now welcome a new cohort to Osho Leela to begin a new cycle of this incredible training. Whether you see yourself as a future teacher or simply want to enhance and enrich your own life with greater levels of expression and connection\, the Biodanza facilitator training is\, in my opinion\, unparalleled in it’s depth and breadth and provides each participant with a unique insight into their own life and into the experience of living. \nWe look forward to welcoming you to the dance floor and to a deeper understanding of just what it is to be alive. \n\nWhy Join this Weekend… \nThis is an invitation to: \nReconnect to what matters \nRemember the joy of presence \nFeel fully alive\, nourished\, and part of something real \nWhether you’re looking for an alternative to the holiday chaos\, craving genuine connection\, or just love to dance and celebrate\, this weekend is for you. \n\n\nBiodanza Weekend Workshops:Module 1: October 3 – 5\nA New Beginning: The Dance of Life Returns \nModule 2: October 31 – November 2\nBiodanza & 4 Elements: A Deep Dive \nModule 3: December 12 – 14\nThe Biodanza Christmas Celebration Spectacular \n\nA Note on Presence \n“I have zero interest in running anything where people are free to zone out and disconnect by getting their phone out and becoming distracted from the people and environment surrounding them. Therefore\, anyone choosing to work with me opts in to a total digital detox—devices are handed in at check-in and returned upon departure. If this doesn’t work for you\, please do not book.

In 2014\, following a dream career as an airline pilot\, she decided to explore shamanic healing and travelled to the Amazon where she lived with the Shipibo tribe for several months. \nDuring this time\, she underwent an advanced and intense initiation with a Shipibo maestro curandero\, a master healer. \nAfter returning to the UK with newfound inspiration\, she completed a 3-year course in Classical Shamanism and has been working as a shamanic practitioner ever since. \nWhen it comes to teaching Zohar believes in an experiential approach and her workshops reflect this methodology. \n\nI’ve had the great pleasure of receiving shamanic teaching and healing from Zohar several times over the years. \nHaving worked with other\npractitioners\, Zohar is someone who truly embodies the qualities and\nskills but most importantly the authenticity of a true healer. \nWith an admirable\, interesting life story\, Zohar is relatable in so many ways yet has the aura of a wise and ancient elder who has been doing the work for thousands of years. \nHer ability to hold space is second to none as her calming presence puts you at ease while her strong spirit inspires courage and confidence. \nIn a community saturated with ‘healers’\, I am so thankful to have been guided by her and her work has helped shift the course of my life in the greatest of ways. \nWith her having so much to\nshare and there being so much to learn from\, she is not only a healer\nbut also a great teacher and guide. \nThe real deal. \nCharlie S.\nI am an 83 years old woman who has spent most of my life dealing with\nthe severe trauma that lies in my family from centuries ago.When I\nmoved from Cornwall to Sussex 5 years ago\, I was delighted to learn\nthat a shaman lives next door. Her name is Zohar Bahir and I\nimmediately arranged to take shamanic journeys with her\, something I had wanted to do all my life. \nWhat transpired from those profound journeys and the integration process I was instructed to carry out at the end\, proved to be the culmination of all the therapeutic work\, mainly Jungian and body work\, that I’ve done during my long life. \nI have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone with an interest in shamanic teaching. \nZohar is experienced\, conscientious and trustworthy and works to the deepest levels of understanding. \nSarah I.\nI was very fortunate to embark on numerous shamanic workshops\ntaught by Zohar. \nZohar explains the theory and practices very clearly in her workshops and in an intriguing way that I was able to retain the\ninformation and put it into practice. \nZohar makes her workshops an\namazing and insightful experience. \nShe is a fantastic teacher who\nbrings her vast experience and inspiration to every workshop and in\naddition\, she is understanding\, patient and compassionate. \nNielBook Your Place Here!Powered by Workshop Angel \n\nDetails\n\nCompletion of Shamanic Heart and Soul makes one eligible to join next year Accredited Shamanic Practitioner Course (it will be a prerequisite) \n\nStart: December 18th @ 6:00pm\nEnd: December 21st @ 6:00pm \nRegistration Tickets (this includes the event & food)\n£360 – Early Bird (until 27th November)\n£390 – Full Price \nAccommodation for 3 nights:\nDorm £30\nOwn campervan £0 (plus £15 hook up if needed)\nPremium private room £165\nShepherd’s Hut £135\nPod single bed £105\nPod double bed £135 \n\n\nClick here for more info about accommodationBook Your Place Here!Powered by Workshop Angel
