- Puna - Osho Meditatoin Resort - This lush contemporary
40-acre campus is a tropical oasis where nature and the 21st
Century blend seamlessly, both within and without. With its white
marble pathways, elegant black buildings, abundant foliage and
Olympic-sized swimming pool, it is the perfect setting to take
time out for yourself. This is a place where you can simply relax
and where you can also enjoy the company of visitors of all ages
from over 100 countries. You can choose if you want to do
something, or if you just want to rest, swim, meditate — or
just to be. You can learn simple Osho Active Meditations,
techniques specifically designed for the contemporary over-charged
mind and stress-impacted body. You may like to nourish your
body-mind-soul with a stunning selection of individual sessions,
like bodywork and massage, and longer workshops and courses —
all designed to help you become more aware of yourself. Or perhaps
experiment by learning new life skills and acquiring tools to take
home, that will help you remain relaxed even in the busiest of
workaday environments. The key to relaxation is awareness, being a
keen observer of all that is going on both inside and around us
— this is the inner science, often also called meditation.
And while we each walk this walk alone, it is more supportive and
more fun to share the process with others, whether during the
various daytime activities, or in the evening — trying out a
new meditation technique, or enjoying an evening a party, dancing,
or the plaza café, watching or participating in live
theater events or just going to the movies. Above all this is a
unique environment created through the awareness, humor, and
celebration that each of us brings to the table. www.osho.com
