Would you like to start meditating, but find it difficult to sit still, quiet your mind, or simply know where to begin?
This 3-day workshop is designed for beginners, as well as for anyone curious to explore a different and more dynamic approach to meditation.
Through a variety of active meditation techniques created by OSHO — incorporating breathing, movement, expression, dance, sound and silence — you will be invited to experience meditation in a simple, lively and direct way.
These three days are an opportunity to reconnect with your body, your energy and your presence, with no previous experience required. Step by step, you will discover how movement and expression can become gateways to inner calm and silence.
A space to experiment, let go, rediscover your vitality and, perhaps, discover your own natural way into meditation.

About Leela Berchot, the workshop facilitator:
Leela discovered OSHO® Active Meditations in 1992. She was immediately touched by the power, depth and beauty of these techniques, which offer an approach to meditation that is both lively and accessible, yet deeply transformative. To explore further, she travelled to India several times to attend retreats and training programs at the OSHO International Centre in Pune. Her journey then led her to spend five years living in an OSHO community in England. It was there that she began facilitating Vipassana retreats together with her partner, Anahato.
In 2019, they opened the OSHO Meditation Centre in Foix, in the Ariège region of France. Since then, the centre has regularly welcomed people for retreats, workshops and training programs dedicated to meditation and self-exploration. In 2021, Leela received a licence to offer OSHO Active Meditation training programs in France, a program created and developed by OSHO International in Pune, India.
For more than thirty years, meditation has been an integral part of Leela’s life journey. Today, she shares these techniques with simplicity, enthusiasm and a deep trust in the body’s natural intelligence — and in each person’s capacity to rediscover their own path towards presence, vitality and inner silence.
