Deva Premin is an instructor of meditation and self-discovery at the Osho Meditation Resort in Puna, India. Jonathan Tripodi is an accomplished mind-body healer. In a space of relaxation and trust, they invite you to expand your senses, awareness and capacity for joyful, soulful intimacy with yourself and others.

For many of us, thinking has become the substitute for feeling. So we just "think" we feel a certain way, but we aren't really sure about it, nor do we dare to really check because we are afraid of what we might find out. In the safe and relaxed atmosphere of this two day workshop, you will have the opportunity to learn how to reconnect with your true feelings and pay attention to the natural signals of your body and senses. With simple exercises, you can re-establish an authentic connection with yourself again, thereby creating a truer relation to yourself and others.

A Small Sample of the Activities

Active Meditations: Involves dance and movement first to release tensions in the body and bring you into the present moment. Movement is followed by sitting or lying in silent awareness of your body, feelings and energy.

Contact Dancing: With a partner, maintain contact while moving spontaneously to music allowing your bodies to become fluid and your sense of touch to be your guide.

Partner Drawing: Sit opposite a partner with a pad of paper between you. Your hands grasp a pencil or pen together and place it on the paper. While maintaining eye contact with your partner, take turns drawing what you see in the others eyes. As one person draws the other's hand follows. The drawing is not literal, rather its symbolic of the connection you experience. (no artistic skills required)

Touch & Smell: While blindfolded, you will be handed familiar objects to touch or smell. With vision eliminated, your other senses will become heightened.
