**Atisha: 7-doors to Meditation: Osho Meditation Retreat** *Osho Nirvana is delighted to invite you to this deep inner exploration and meditation retreat with Videha.* Based on “The Book of Wisdom”, Osho’s commentary on Atisha teaching “Seven Points of Mind Training” These ‘Seven Points of Mind Training’ are the fundamental teaching that Atisha gave to Tibet. They are of immense value. They are the whole of religion condensed. They are like seeds, but they contain the infinite. The moment you move into the statements deeply, when you contemplate and meditate and start experimenting with them, you will be surprised, you will be going into the greatest adventure of your life… *“…Meditate on Atisha, listen to His advice; they are of immense value. It is not a philosophy, it is a manual to discipline yourself, it is a manual of inner transformation. …These sutras are golden. Keep them in your heart; they will nourish you, they will strengthen you, they will transform you. … It is the teaching that can help you grow into Wisdom.”* Osho **Some of the main topics in this retreat** * The Preliminaries * Atisha Meditation, “Tong-Len” (“Giving and Taking” in Tibetan), also known as “Heart Meditation.” * The arising of Bodhicitta * The base of mind functioning and the illusion of the ego * The four bodies (Kaya) * The essential meaning of witnessing * The difficulties and fundamental points of the awareness process * The meaning of “Compassion.” * The meaning of “Wisdom.” * The transcendental function of the five senses * The “Three principal causes” and “The three treasures.” * The authentic meaning of “Freedom.” **About Videha:** Osho disciple since 1980. Initiated into the Mevlevi Sufi Order of Konya (“The Whirling Dervishes”), Videha integrates the Sufi Path into Osho’s vision and love. For years as a Zazen practitioner, he has traveled and trained in Turkey, Mongolia, China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, India, Central Asia, and Tibet, where he received many initiations. He has been leading groups, seminars, camps, and meditation retreats around the world for more than 35 years, uniting the path of Love with the path of Meditation. ​ **How to Participate?** Dates: May 9 (7:30 PM) – 16 (12:30 PM), 2026 Register [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeJdX8kHAuDzKWZnNEx5EpUGxOpp1oEBMa5wtzKKOyV-cLqKQ/viewform?usp=dialog) Participation Contribution: $849 Link to pay: [https://bit.ly/atisha2026tickets](https://bit.ly/atisha2026tickets) (on the final page, for platform support fees (they are optional), select “other” and type 0) **Full participation is required!**

Thank you for your understanding! Honor rest, care, and connection with this deeply nurturing Mother’s Day–inspired Aerial Sound Bath. Whether you’re celebrating yourself, a mother in your life, or simply the energy of care and creation, this experience is an invitation to receive. This transformative workshop combines the lightness of a suspended, floating body with the soothing vibrations of a sound bath. Harmonizing the body through sound can help regulate energy along the meridians, calm the nervous system, and support emotional release—offering space to soften, reset, and restore the physical, emotional, and mental body. The aerial hammock creates a cocoon-like environment, often compared to the maternal womb, gently cradling and supporting the body in a way that promotes deep safety and ease. Float weightlessly as you’re immersed in the binaural tones of crystal singing bowls, allowing yourself to slow down, let go, and be held—an especially meaningful practice for Mother’s Day. **Cost of workshop:** $50 without a hammock rental, $60 with a hammock rental Sign up: https://flyingbuddhastudio.com/#Events About Your Teacher: Elise Pierre is a musician and yoga teacher who has adopted a holistic approach to treating an autoimmune disease developed after endometriosis cancer.
