Meditation, Breath, and Movement/Dance Workshops 

Chakra Breath Meditation, 90min 

The Chakra Breath Meditation is a powerful bio-energetic process that will thoroughly open up energy flow and oxygen circulation throughout your whole body. Prior to breathing we will use dance and conscious movement as a warm up. Through a special breath technique you will release blocked energy in each of your Chakras(Body Energy Centers), move through pent-up emotions, and ultimately fill your body to capacity with radiant energy, akin to a whole body release. You will come in touch with your source of life and power, and a deeper appreciation for the potential of your body and life. A silent stage follows the breathing part of the meditation. The silence you experience after working with breath is the most profound and clear. After this meditation you will experience a sense of new-found aliveness and peace.

Chakra Loop Breath Meditation With Live Drumming, 2 1/2 Hours 

Accompanied by live drumming, the Chakra Loop Breath Meditation is a powerful bio-energetic process that will thoroughly open up energy flow and oxygen circulation throughout your whole body. You will release blocked energy through a special breath technique that will guide you to loop your breath through all of your chakras. You will move through pent-up emotions, and ultimately fill your body to capacity with radiant energy, akin to a whole body release. You will come in touch with your source of life and power, and a deeper appreciation for the potential of your body and life. A silent stage follows the breathing part of the meditation. The silence you experience after working with breath is the most profound and clear. After this meditation you will experience a sense of new-found aliveness and peace.

Prior to breathing we will use dance and conscious movement as a warm up.

Live drumming will accompany the dance and the meditation. The sound of the tribal drum has been used by people for thousands of years to induce the state of trance and mimic the rhythm of the heartbeat ultimately quieting the busy mind and helping us to experience the silence of meditation.

Conscious Breath And Dance - 2 Hours  

Breakthrough Breath And Dance is an original active meditation designed by Energy Of Breath.

In this event we use the method of trance energetic breathing in combination with guided and free dance movements. This powerful combination opens up bio-energetic processes in the body leading to healing of old emotional and physical trauma as well as bringing awareness to your physical body and relaxing your stressed and overworked mind. This meditation is set to carefully selected music to help you go deeper in self exploration. As a result you will have the newfound sense of body awareness and celebrate you freedom of movement.

BioDynamic Group Breath Session, Emotional Awareness and Meditation, 3 hours 

Your openness and ability to flow in life is reflected in the way you breathe.

BioDynamic Breathwork supports the release of emotional stress, strengthens the psycho-neuro immune system and leads to a healing integration of your conscious and unconscious mind. You will break through conditioned breathing patterns and open chronically tense physical and mental structures.

In this evening group breath session the participants will have a chance to receive a breath session which will be supported by the Energy Of Breath Institute's staff and trainees. Participants will lay down on mats and go into connected breathing through their mouths for approximately 45 minutes. During this breath process, the body charges up with energy, and emotional, mental, physical, and energetic blocks in the body will release.

We will start with grounding exercises to open up the breathing and physical energy flow. The evening will conclude with a meditation and group sharing to help integrate the breath session.

OSHO Zen Tarot Reading and Meditation, 2 hours

Workshop Intensives, Special Topics Classes

 

Family Constellations Workshop w/ Praful Saracino, Full Day 

Praful Saracino, Family Constellations Therapist, is based in Italy, but comes twice a year to NYC to work with Energy Of Breath Institute.

The focus of Family and Systemic Constellations is to find out the Truth hidden behind every issue (anxiety, guilt, insecurity, disease, relationship problems with the original family, present family, partner, children, and/or work and finances), and bring it into light to recognize it and become open to a resolution.

After a brief interview with participants, Praful will arrange participants into several constellations. An individual is "set on stage" with their own family (represented by group participants) or life situation. The individual provides a situation or a place according to their own feeling and then observes from outside the unfolding influencing dynamics.

During the constellation, Praful will pick up body messages from the representatives and their relationship within the constellation. He will ask them questions and propose movements to let Love flow again, with a sense of strength and balance, while releasing energetic ties that are non-serving to them, their lives, and their family members, whether or not they are still alive (intergenerational work).

Thai Yoga Massage Class, 1-3 Day Instructional Workshop 

Participants will learn how to give a basic 60 minute Thai Yoga Massage (They will partner up with another individual). This workshop is perfect for practicing massage therapists, yoga instructors, and all massage aficionados.

Topics covered include:

- Learning basic Thai Yoga Massage techniques.

- How to stretch and move the recipient's body into yoga postures, open up energy meridians, and work with pressure points.

- How to work with others from a centered, meditative space by incorporating breath and natural movement flow. 
- Accessing deeper levels of personal awareness and healing through a group interactive process and sharing, as well as music and movement. 


As an added bonus, we will give participants an opportunity to experience an Osho Active Meditation.

Reiki 1st Degree or 2nd Degree Initiation Class & Sound Healing Meditation, Full Day
 

This unique and beautiful Reiki class will be enhanced with the vibrational healing of the ancient Aboriginal wind instrument Didgeridoo, Onishinabe Native American drum, and Tibetan singing bowls, which have profound healing effects on the body, mind and spirit.

The meditation also serves as a clearing and preparation for those staying on to receive their Reiki 1st Degree initiation, providing recipients with the ability to permanently utilize Reiki energy healing in their daily lives and with others.

The person who becomes a Reiki healer receives an initiation, which opens the energy channels of the body and clears any obstructions in energy flow. The initiation connects the new Reiki healer to the source of Universal Energy for life, as if the light switch has been turned on and electricity can then flow.

After a Reiki initiation, a 21-day cleansing cycle ensues. Emotions, belief systems, and physical ailments may intensify and come to the surface for clearing and release. This time of readjustment serves for the individual to be launched into the next level of personal growth on his or her path.

Your Sexuality-Your Power, Full Day Workshop 

Participants will unleash power and creativity by opening up sexual energy, which is the powerhouse to abundance and health. Sex energy which is fully flowing is the key to groundedness in reality and allowing life to flow.

In this workshop we explore sexuality and relating patterns through BioDynamic Breath Therapy, Bio-Energetic Exercises, Active Meditation and group exercises. Participants begin to see themselves as sexual beings and begin to release tensions and concepts that are no longer supportive, in order to experience deeper love and acceptance of their bodies and sexuality.

Phone interview is required prior to registration. There will be no nudity or sexual contact of any kind although physical and energetic contact with participants will occur.

Costa Rica Breath and Shamanic Experience 

Join Giten and Rohi at the vibrant Ocean Discovery Centre, 
Guaria de Osa, or ‘Orchid of the Rainforest’, 
where the Rainforest kisses the sparkling Pacific Ocean!

The Osa Peninsula has been described as “the most biologically intense place on Earth” by National Geographic. Guaria de Osa is nestled in a roadless nature sanctuary known as the “Little Amazon by the Ocean”, with plenty of hiking trails, beach, and ocean to explore and enjoy. Surrounded by big rainforest trees, the Main Lodge is only a 3-minute stroll from the Pacific Beach – unless, of course, you stop to smell the Aromatic Ylang Ylang trees and greet the toucans, scarlet macaws and capuchin monkeys.

Harmoniously support the process of diving deeply into yourself and deeply relaxing at your core by joining us in this lush paradise.

Based on a platform of Osho Active Meditations, your transformational 
journey will be supported with:

*Aquabreath sessions in the ocean
*Holistic Nutrition, Detox, and Rejuvenation support
*Body-oriented interactive techniques for releasing physical and emotional tension and stress
*Group processes and sharing
*Interactive Dance, Movement, and Celebration
*Silent meditative walks and guided Rainforest tours
*Shamanic detoxification cleanse and medicinal journey 

A typical day of this all-inclusive eight-day, seven-night retreat will begin with an early morning active movement and breath meditation on the beach, OSHO Dynamic Meditation. After breakfast, we will experience Aquabreath or one of the other sessions described above. After lunch we will provide free time for you to relax, enjoy and feel nourished by the vibrant surroundings.

We will meet again later in the afternoon for OSHO Kundalini Meditation (which includes music, dance, and silent sitting), and then again, for an interactive and fun group session following dinner. 

Our structure is created to safely support the processing and letting go of emotional and mental patterns which you are ready to release, bringing you into present awareness and freedom of expression. Through our approach you will build a solid foundation of personal healing and heightened awareness, creating a permanent shift in consciousness.

Furthermore, you will have the option of participating in a Shamanic Medicine Journey and Cleansing program designed by Jonathon Miller-Weisberger specially for our group. We will prepare for the medicine journey throughout the week with cleansing foods, meditation, instruction from Jonathon, and two early morning plant cleanses. Jonathon will share with us information about renewal methods of fasting, cleansing, and purifying with medicinal rainforest plants time-tested by Amazonian Indigenous Cultures, for example: • Plant baths for aura cleansing • Purging with medicinal rainforest plants at 3 am to balance the body’s pH crucial to any healing or detoxification program and for preventing disease. Most people in today's modern society are acidic because of diet, sedentary lifestyle (or in some cases, over-exercising), stress, pollution, and the accumulation of chemical and heavy metal toxins. When the acid and alkaline properties are of equal strength, we say the pH is balanced. Purging (vomiting) with medicinal plants with the heavenly stars looking at us is a very good thing to do! 

The final day will be an open day for you to enjoy hiking, waterfalls, bird watching, surfing, encountering dolphins, snorkeling, kayaking, horseback riding, canopy tours of the jungle and many other activities of your choice. (Additional activity fees may apply.)

Reiki initiations and treatments, as well as individual breath sessions are available in the days following the retreat.
