 </video></div>&nbsp;"Sitting silently, doing nothing… spring comes, and the grass grows by itself." This timeless Zen expression beautifully captures the essence of Zazen—the art of simply being.In the midst of life's constant movement, the Osho Zazen Group offers a rare opportunity to slow down, become silent, and rediscover the source of your own being. Inspired by the Zen tradition and enriched by Osho's meditation methods, this retreat is a journey from activity to stillness, from thought to awareness, and from effort to effortless presence.The retreat begins each day with Osho's Active Meditations, helping to release accumulated stress, emotional burdens, and restless energy. Once the body and mind are relaxed, participants naturally enter into the deeper practice of Zazen—simply sitting in silence with alert awareness.Periods of Sitting in Zen are gently alternated with Walking in Zen, allowing awareness to flow seamlessly into movement. Throughout the day, a variety of small awareness meditations help bring attention back to the present moment, transforming every step, every breath, and every activity into meditation.A unique feature of the retreat is Maun Satsang—sitting in silence with Osho through specially selected video recordings in which He sits silently with His disciples. Beyond words, participants are invited to share His silent presence, allowing meditation to deepen effortlessly and experiencing the profound communion that silence alone can offer.Osho says, “Relax. In relaxation — when there is nothing to be watched and nobody as a watcher, when you are not divided into a duality — there arises a different quality of witnessing. It is not a watching, it is just passive awareness; passive, I say — remember. It has nothing aggressive in it. Watching is very aggressive: effort is needed, you have to be tense. But be non-tense, relaxed. Just be there. In that consciousness when you are simply there, sitting doing nothing, the spring comes and the grass grows by itself.”Although Zazen literally means "sitting silently doing nothing" a certain alertness is needed in the beginning. As thoughts arise, they are neither followed nor suppressed—they are simply witnessed. Gradually, the gaps between thoughts become longer, and an effortless silence begins to reveal itself.Osho Says, “When the energy is just at the center, pulsating... When it is not moving anywhere, neither in the head nor in the heart, but it is at the very source from where the heart takes it, the head takes it... pulsating at the very source -- that is the very meaning of Zazen.Zazen means just sitting at the very source, not moving anywhere. A tremendous force arises, a transformation of energy into light and love, into greater life, into compassion, into creativity. It can take many forms, but first you have to learn how to be at the source.”The group is fully residential. Silence is maintained throughout the retreat, with no reading, writing, or unnecessary communication, creating the perfect atmosphere for deep inner exploration.This retreat is ideal for anyone who wishes to experience the simplicity and depth of Zen—where sitting becomes meditation, walking becomes meditation, silence becomes communion, and every moment becomes a doorway to the present.Sit in Zen. Walk in Zen. Live in Awareness. Be at the Source.
