Osho Niranjana Meditation Center is pleased to announce that next year’s OSHOfest will be held from 3 till 10 August 2024 at the Blue Spirit Retreat Center in Costa Rica.
OSHOfest 2024 at the Blue Spirit Retreat Center in Costa Rica (3-10 August 2024) will include daily meditations, music and dancing, gourmet meals, along with plenty of time to relax on the beach or explore the surrounding rain forest.
Over the last decade, Osho Niranjana Meditation Center has been organizing an annual OSHOfest in different locations throughout southern and central California. The team took the festival internationally in 2019, when the gathering was held in the foothills of the Himalaya at Nagarkot, Nepal, and again when the chosen location was the Centro Osho Gyan in Ensenada Mexico.
These multi-day, music and meditation gatherings have proven to be a wonderful experience for all Osho sannyasins and spiritual seekers who had attended. The Covid 19 pandemic put the annual gathering on hold for three years. Thankfully, the global health crisis has subsided and it is time to come together again.
In January 2023, the Osho Niranjana board members attended the Ecstatic Chant Retreat with Deva Premal and Miten, Krishna Das and Jai Uttal at the Blue Spirit Retreat Center in Costa Rica. The “pura vida” (pure life) philosophy embodied by the people of Costa Rica, the natural beauty of the location and the blissful vibe of the retreat center makes it the ideal setting for hosting our next OSHOfest 2024.
The Blue Spirit Retreat Center is located in a tropical rain forest on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Accommodation is outstanding, with a variety of private, ocean-view rooms, and suites. Cottages and platform tents are also available within a short walk to a magnificent Meditation Hall that overlooks the aquamarine waters of the ocean. Three delicious, consciously-prepared gourmet vegetarian meals, with vegan and gluten-free options, are provided and are included with the registration.
Additional amenities at the retreat center include a private beach, an environmentally-friendly saltwater infinity pool, a cafe, a juice bar, a store with various sundries, as well as services such as massage and therapy sessions. The venue is an oasis in itself for spiritual seekers from many different paths.
So, if you are ready to experience a week in paradise, meditating, dancing and communing with nature with an international gathering of facilitators and like-minded practitioners, we highly recommend that you register and select your accommodation soon!
Update 23 July 2023: This year we are blessed to be with world renowned musicians and meditation facilitators Maniko Dru Dadigan, Sudhananda, Maneesha McClure, Aneesha Dillon, Teerth Gonzalez and last but not the least, Krishna Prem.
Maniko has over 30 years of extensive professional and experiential training in expressive arts therapy, movement awareness integration, meditative disciplines as well as dance, breath, and voice as vehicles for bridging the worlds of developing consciousness, creativity, personal integration, and authentic self-expression.
Sudhananada started playing guitar at the age of 8 and knew music was his dharma. Sudhananda’s album “Joy” was released by CBS/Sony in US and Japan. He also has experience in recording, mixing, mastering and producing records for children’s music label MUSIC FOR LITTLE PEOPLE that included records of Donovan & Maria Muldaur. He has also worked with singer songwriters such as Tina Malia.
Maneesha has been a disciple of Osho since 1973. Sitting with him, absorbing his presence and receiving his transmission of freedom through inner (rather than outer) rebellion inspired her to create Dance Alchemy. This work is based on Osho’s vision of Zorba the Buddha, celebration and the alchemical keys for inner transformation Osho gave through his meditations.
Aneesha created Osho Pulsation, a unique and delightful blend of neo-Reichian breathwork and meditation, by combining two streams of understanding, one Western, one Eastern. Over the last four decades Aneesha has changed the lives of thousands of people all over the world through her popular workshops, trainings and individual sessions.
Krishna Prem also lovingly known as KP is an international teacher of Meditation with over 50 years of experience of leading Meditation workshops in the USA, Europe and India. After meeting Osho in 1973, he brought his passion for meditation back with him to California where he founded Geetam Ashram which flourished into the biggest Osho Meditation Center in the West.
