The opening season of the year is represented by the Eagle.
In the Native American tradition the eagle represents depth of vision.
It's an animal that soars high in the open sky with the ability both to have a sharp focus
as well as having a broad vision of the whole.

While the sun is shining in the clear blue sky, Pacha Mama uniquely welcomes the
New Year with a Silence Retreat which also brings the first Transformation Cycle
to completion. From the depth of the silence the village moves into a creative and celebrative atmosphere of groups and events that is coming to a peak with the annual River Festival.

Solstice Gathering

Price: $45
Early bird: $40 until Dec 13th
including all ceremonies and meals except the brunch.

As the curtain falls on the Mayan calendar, PachaMama will gather to pray, meditate and receive in wonder the new to come.
The December 2012 Solstice and its mystical unknown implications will be celebrated with reverence and anticipation.
From Sunset to Sunrise we will gather in oneness, connecting with the elements, directions and honoring both traditions - meditation from the east, and the red road.

We will open the night of the shift with a FIRE CEREMONY, giving thanks to our past, letting go of the old.
From there, we will meet in our temple, the Osho Hall, where music and silence will open an AUDIO SATSANG from Tyohar. After a gourmet dinner, we move down to the PachaMama river and at midnight a PIPE CEREMONY will be held for the whole community calling the feminine energy of the Moon through prayers and songs and setting our intentions.

Under the stars we will share a MUSICAL MEDITATION AND PRAYER and at 4:11 am we will enter into a unique SUNRISE SWEAT LODGE to purify, to welcome the new Sun, the new day, the new era.

From the sweat lodge we will come up for a BRUNCH and take the day to leisure together on the BEACH, honoring "Yemanja".
In the evening we will come back to Osho hall for live music and silence to close the first day of the new era.

We will experience various techniques including: learning to ground our energy and embody awareness, breathing exercises to ignite the inner fire, moving to different types of rhythms, and free flowing dance connecting us to the playfulness, aliveness, joy of expressing through our bodies.

This workshop is open for everyone; no previous dance experience is required. All one needs is willingness, curiosity, and a desire to move and be moved.

VipassnaVIPASSANA
Watchfulness, Presence, Awareness
with Ananda
Dec 23 - 26, 2012
Price: 300 $
Early bird: 280 $ until Dec 16

The Vipassana group is precious time that we give to our SELF. Allowing the attention to shift from the world to our nature as pure aware silence.
Simply sitting and being awareness itself.
Vipassana is not a 'doing'. It is allowing. Allowing the mind to quiet down and let our silent nature surface. When this happens we rest into an awakened silence.
As a device to observe the mind we shift our attention to the breathing flow. If something else takes our attention we allow it to be until it is gone and we return to the stillness which is naturally there underneath it all.
There is no need to 'do' the watching, just connecting to this quality which is already there.
The work is the intention and the stillness. The rest happens by itself.
