Personal growth and travel to India
A passage to India
January 2010
India is not only a country but also the symbol for spirituality and meditation. This journey is an invitation to explore more deeply the space and joy of meditation.
The beginning of our journey brings us to Goa, where wonderful beaches, countryside, the sunset at the ocean and the hospitality of the native people helps us to arrive in India.
The program of these first days includes.... two guided daily meditations, including sacred chants and dance meditation.
The second week of our journey will be at and around the Osho Meditation Resort in Poona. In an exquisite environment will have the chance to explore different meditations as
Vipassana, Whirling and Dynamic... just to connect more and more to what is already present in us, and this is a refreshing space of joy which comes from meditation.
The guided part of this journey is two weeks, but we suggest all participants have at least three weeks available for their travel. We will guide the participants,
depending on their interests and time for the rest of the journey.
Instructor:
Ulrich Freitag
Ulrich Freitag is director of the TAO Centre since 18 years. He gives professional trainings in bodymind therapy. His many travels to India allowed him to
integrate the aspects of meditation and intuition. Today it is a great pleasure for him to guide people on this "Passage to India".
Some testimonies of participants from the journey
One says sometimes that dreams are more beautiful than the reality, but, concerning my travel to India the reality went beyond the most beautiful of my dreams.
One has to say that for the first two weeks we had the privilege to be guided by Ulrich, an experienced and solid guide. The presence of the guide helped me
to discover in security the customs of the native people and to learn about the daily life of the Indians. I particularly appreciated the depth of our daily
group meditations as well as the activities which were chosen by our guide.
The discovery of the Osho meditation resort in Poona was for me a very intense part of the journey and I think of it still with lots of emotions.
The organisation and the guidance during these two weeks allowed me to develop enough autonomy to feel at ease to extend my journey for three other
weeks and to taste the pleasuresof being in India.
Odette Magnan, Nurse and teacher
This travel to India allowed me to be initiated in different meditation techniques, to get in contact with my heart and to develop more consciousness...
Particularly I appreciated the guided meditations, the proposed tours, while still having time off during the day. Our host In the place where we stayed in
Goa was fantastic, the food was excellent and the sea was exquisite. I maintain a very positive memory of this journey.
Veronique Bibor, Social worker and yoga teacher
Ulrich, our guide is very attentive to the needs of the group and each individual. His love for India is contagious and his practical knowledge is very
reassuring. He helped us to taste, see and feel India by sharing his, passion for the country.... He has mastered the art of teaching meditation. With
the help of clear guidance and inspiring images, he allowed us to experiment many different ways to get into the space of meditation. In Poona, at the
Osho meditation resort, -in this oasis of beauty, where everything is is centred around a deep appreciation of ourselves and the sacredness of life,-
magic was waiting for us. The program of activities (meditations, workshops, dance etc.) is of rare quality and allows everybody to confront themselves
with their own challenges. It is truly a place of healing, expression and celebration that touched me profoundly! It was a wonderful journey to the
end of the world and oneself.
