If you are already a trainee or a therapist studying with us, you will be able to see the bigger picture of what our method is about. This will give you more trust in your own process and in working with people.

We are very excited to announce our first EPI Festival that will take place in the 3 floors of Wajid Osho Meditation Center, 1-2 February 2025!

What the festival will include:

  • Osho’s Active Meditations

  • Mini sessions from our trained facilitators and session givers (inner child, bodywork, Artificial Intelligence card and I-ching readings)

  • Workshops (such as live drumming workshops, inner child, couple work, breath and bodywork, grounding, building structure and more)

  • Creativity corner

  • Catering for lunch and dinner and more!

If you are a newcomer, you will come in touch, experience and understand the way in which we work in the EPI. You will be able to open up to your own inner process, with a sense of direction and intent. You will be able to tap into your own inner guidance.

If you are a veteran student, or you are already participating in the EPI groups, you will be able to meet again with some of your fellow students, reconnect and re-unite with the field. 

This time the festival will be oriented around the exploration of the Orishas archetypes. 

We will use the exploration of the archetypes of the Orishas as resources in order to reconnect with the wisdom of the body.

The Schizoid Wound: An in-depth look at the disconnection from the body and our Essence

  • Bhavana Center for Psychotherapy and Meditation (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The disconnection from our body and reality is at the core of the human condition. It is a wound so deeply ingrained in the human psyche and body, that its nature is existential. It is existential because it occurs so early, at birth, in the womb and even at conception. It occurs during our entrance into the world and shapes our sense of belonging, our connection to the ground and our connection to our self and others. Alexander Lowen called it the schizoid phenomenon, indicating the split from reality that is inherent in this condition.

We turn towards our true sensitivity and heart’s desire.

Essence Weekend in Den Haag and on Zoom (Theme to be announced)

  • wajid Osho meditatie centrum (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Essence is the very fabric of our Soul. When we experience our Essence we have the sense of wholeness. In contrast, the lack of contact with our Essence gives us a sense that we have lost our way home, that we have lost our paradise. When we are born, we are full of Essence and free of any conditioning. As time passes and childhood programming settles into our system, we lose the connection to our Essence. We then live in a paradoxical state of existence: we are Essence and yet we do not know it. 

Times:  Starting Friday, Sep 26 at 19:00 ending Sunday, Sep 28 at 18:00

Place: Osho Wajid Meditatie Centrum, Prins Hendrikplein 1, Den Haag

Cost: 375 euro. There is a 10% discount when booked and paid for by Aug 26

The sense of Intimacy that the Black brings envelops us like a warm summer night under a black starry sky. We can finally rest in ourselves in Natural Great Peace.

When we discover our aliveness, our Essential strength, life becomes effervescent, colorful and multidimensional.

We will explore the energy of life, the lovability that starts from the instinct , and moves to the expression of the oedipal energy. On the one hand this instinctual power grounds us in the life and on the other hand it paves the way for the love , the contact , sensuality and sexuality. We will explore all the implications of the oedipal issues, because when this energy is blocked we cannot enjoy and feel satisfied. We will see how it got blocked (around 4 to 6.5 years old) and how we can resolve it, so we can feel the orgasmic reflex in our system.

The Pearl III: Tapping into the Secrets of the Body and Restoring the Orgasmic Reflex.

14

The Pearl III: Tapping into the Secrets of the Body and Restoring the Orgasmic Reflex.

The Pearl is the Essential Vehicle of embodiment, the carrier of our Personal Essence, and has many aspects and manifestations. It is this precious Essence that unites us with our body and the flesh, the medium between the relative and the Absolute.

When we are in touch with our Pearl, we feel grounded and present. We sense our Essence in our body, and the qualities of our Being acquire density, substance, texture. They can be felt as sensations arising in our system, such as: the surge of aliveness that fortifies us to face life’s challenges, the sense of solidity we feel when rooted in our guts, the melting sensation when we truly bond with another, the feeling of light-heartedness that joy brings and many others. We feel our preciousness, our senses are open and we appreciate the enjoyment of living this life, every moment. 

The body of tension, our ego shell, occupying the body, melts away and we can finally sense our body as it is destined to be: the Body of Bliss, within which our qualities of Essence can flow freely.

 

We work with various methodologies: bodywork and breath, meditation, inquiry, essential transmission.

The Citadel is one of the grand vehicles of Essence, the organ of our Soul that gives us the unwavering support to walk the walk of Being in our daily lives. It is the path of the samurai, the way of peaceful warrior, the personification of grit, courage and resolve. The vehicle of the Citadel enables us to connect with our inner resources such as support, stability, constancy, consistency and true responsibility in our life. It gives us a sense of groundedness, steadfastness and great solidity. We have clear and defined boundaries. As we embody the Citadel, we can find the right Intention, which is life-affirmative, in order to live a life of dignity, truth, nobility of the Soul and ethos, ruled by Essential human values. It is the Being, supporting itself in the marketplace.

Standing in Truth and Love: the Diamond Body and the Self - The Apology of Socrates

Essence is the very fabric of our Soul. When we experience our Essence we have the sense of wholeness. In contrast, the lack of contact with our Essence gives us a sense that we have lost our way home, that we have lost our paradise. We are born full of Essence and free of any conditioning. As time passes and childhood programming settles into our system, we gradually lose the connection to our Essence. We then live in a paradoxical state of existence: we are Essence and yet we do not know it.

The Vehicles of Essence are carriers of different Essential qualities which constitute the building blocks of our Soul, as well as the Essential reality in general. We can see them as the organs of our Soul. In the Diamond Logos Teachings, we describe nine different vehicles or carriers of Essence. The vehicles are aspects of our Essential structure.

The Diamond Body is the vehicle of true objective understanding and direct knowing. It is the manifestation of Living Guidance within us – our Inner Guide. It enables us to see what is really there, beyond our projections. In our lives, we need to cultivate this Essential vehicle in order to receive the necessary understanding, clarity and guidance to pursue our inner journey and actualize ourselves in life according to our Soul's direction. It is our own truth and guidance that nobody else can reveal to us. It is this aspect of ourselves that shows us the way out of confusion, lostness and the maze of the egoic personality and guides us back home. It gives us the capacity to have compassion for ourselves and our mistakes, as well as for others. The Diamond Body brings us back to our humanity and helps us integrate our emotions and unconscious parts.

Unio Mystica: The Feminine and Masculine Gifting. A Journey into Blissfulness

  • Bhavana Center for Psychotherapy and Meditation (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Often in our relationships we have lost the healthy polarity between us. This creates frustration, as we do not meet in the flesh and in the spirit. We forget that we are together in pleasure, that we can give deep satisfaction to each other. Why is the polarity lost? How can we bring it back? We will look at emotional, psychological issues, or the lack of healthy communication that brings alienation, as well as the lack of charge in our bodies, that don't allow us to meet together in passion. Further than that, we need to see within us, each one of us carries the feminine and masculine principle inside. The Unio Mystica starts from the union of these two Essences within us. We will also explore how we were brought up to be a man or a woman, and how this influences us till today. Are we able to allow our passion and passionate expression in life? And can we enjoy this with our partners in a loving atmosphere of trust and truth? We will explore in body and spirit. A juicy adventure.

In this workshop, we will zoom in to the emotional anatomy of relationships and relating. We will see how our conditioning, our attachment history and childhood wounds are influencing our capacity to trust, to connect, to bond, to receive and give love, to be open, and risk to be vulnerable in front of another.

We will focus on the elements that cause our frustration, deprivation, and dissatisfaction in giving and receiving. We will experience how we have lost our connection to our vulnerability, leading us to the land of mistrust and isolation. 

We will start learning again how to create and build trust, how to create intimacy by showing our true face and sharing our authentic feelings and emotions.
