The Heart - the doorway to self love and wisdom
A Morning for the Heart
Take a morning for yourself, to nourish your heart...! These easy and informal mornings are an opportunity to use Osho's heart meditations as a pathway into your heart. It's also a chance to share this space with friends as we support each other to go deeper and rest in the heart and open the flow of love in our lives.
"There is a desert called the mind, and there is a garden called the heart. If you are moving towards the heart, everything is right; because heart is the bridge to your being. Heart is not the goal, but it is a sure indication that you have left mind behind, the desert has been left behind. The heart joins the mind and being just like a bridge, and as you start of moving on the path of heart, things start becoming more and more beautiful, more loving. You are surrounded by a new energy, a new light, as if you are getting rejuvenated every moment."
- OSHO

Opening to the Heart 1-3 days
This course is an opportunity to discover and reconnect with the true and essential qualities of the heart – such as acceptance, trust, innocence or joy – rather than the common understanding that it is a place of sentiments and emotions. You will discover "inner keys" that support you in integrating these qualities into your life and that help you to remember you have the choice of approaching life from the head or from the heart in any given moment.
Self Acceptance 1-3 days
You cannot be anyone except who you already are. This understanding can become a deep transformation in your heart – creating space for you to be, to grow, to discover your true nature. By letting go of the pressure of living up to some ideal of how you should be, and learning the keys to accepting and embracing yourself as you are, your natural gifts and qualities can shine forth.
The Healing Heart 3-5 days
All of us have some experience of feeling how our heart has been “broken” and as a result it now sometimes feels frozen or closed. The challenge for both men and women is to use our life energy and awareness to clear the old wounds and ideals that have burdened our heart, making space for love to flow.
The heart is the place from which love and acceptance arise, and it has a natural capacity to heal. By feeling and expressing what is in our heart it becomes easy to fall into the silent center where we can simply rest into being ourselves.
Alchemy of the 4th Chakra: From the Head to the Heart 5 days
The heart is the secret key to all alchemy, opening an inner pathway into consciousness.
As we shift our presence and awareness from the head to the heart, the borrowed concepts we carry from past social conditioning are transformed. Layer by layer they move, into the spaciousness of acceptance that is always available in this present moment.
Loving yourself as you are, the door of the here and now opens in your being.
