Black sea, Caviar and Buddhas…

The waves of the Black Sea breaking or dying gently on the shore resonated well with what the participants of this 7-days intensive – 'Returning to the source ' – were going through. To be total, totally present to each and every moment certainly did pay off for a large number of them and this led them to directly experience their inner source, their True nature. Tears, laughter, outburst of joy, gratitude – certainly did take place! Words fall short – mind is no more, the chair is empty; yet what a presence!
I feel honoured, filled with gratitude to be able to witness, to receive these experiences. A different type of meeting opens up. Thank you to you all for these wonderful gifts.
These 7 days were also, for some, an opportunity to aim more towards 'what they are', or towards 'what life is' and taste, experience directly the 'fragrance of being' – love, beauty, freedom, truth or of life. It was an opportunity to de-identify from beliefs and/or pre-conceived ideas.
What a joy it was for me to be the witness of these transformations, of these flowerings and with it the magnificence of existence at work. Thank you all for your generosity, I feel blessed.

And… the eastbound road continues for me…
Osaka, Japan and the blossoming cherry trees
for another “Returning to the source
then Taiwan and China for more.


Namaste to you all

From Brasov, Romania to Guillingham, Uk

Riding the bull home’ was schedule to happen in Brasov, Romania during Easter week-end; yet, as intensity does not quite ‘resonate’ with Romanians, a 2-day ‘Opening to self–awareness’ took place instead and it fitted. With playful structures, participants could experience self-awareness and tackle the ‘Who is in?’ koan for a while. A dozen of happy faces and lightened hearts went home.
At Osho Leela, in Guillingham, Dorset the 3-day ‘Love in Awareness Intensive’ opened the possibility for some daring souls to directly experience ‘what Love is’. The outside gale and stormy weather was certainly matching the inside rumble that took place for some of the participants; just as the clear blue sky that magically showed up on the last day of the Intensive acted as a pointer towards the ever unscratched inner sky.
Awareness does not leave any footprints in the blue sky!

After having supported the 3-day ‘Love in Awareness Intensive’, it was the turn for those living at the Osho Leela to participate in a dedicated 3-day ‘Riding the bull home’. A search to directly experience this witnessing quality that we are; many layers of the personality got seen, identified, recognized for what they are and… discarded during this intense time. Love, openness and understanding took place and I felt touched to see this arising for this ‘family at large’ – no doubt that their everyday relating, working will be different after this!!

It’s now time for me to leave Osho Leela, next stop will be
Odessa, Ukraine for a 7-day ‘Returning to the source’.
Namaste to you all
