“Death will take everything away from you – money, power, prestige. Death will leave only one thing: that is witnessing. If you have it, there is no death.” Osho
Conscious preparation for your own dying and supporting others
OSHO Bardo training is for those who would like to know how to prepare consciously for their own dying and to be able to offer meditative support to others in dying – both in the preparation for, and at the time of their dying.
Communicating with the dying including meditation guidance
Through the five modules we will experiment with a range of techniques, including OSHO Bardo, to deepen the experience of meditation as a preparation for dying. We will also identify the kind of issues for example, fear and grief – that can come up for us and others when confronting dying, and explore how these can be addressed. You will learn the art of communication with the dying – primarily, by developing a meditative presence – along with the basics of guiding someone into a state of relaxed awareness. We will also discuss subjects such as reincarnation, and the legal considerations around assisted dying.
- The course, OSHO An Experiential Enquiry into Death is a prerequisite for this training. If you have done it previously please connect with maneesha@osho.net
WHY ATTEND THIS TRAINING?
A unique, meditation-based approach
This course is a unique opportunity to explore the true nature of death experientially and how to support yourself and others to approach dying consciously.
Discover the many inner resources you already have that can enable you to live life so fully that, when it is your time, you can move into death with grace and gratitude. Additional resources and skills – such as providing guidance into meditation – also help you to support others in their final journey. Gain new understandings into how moving consciously into your inner world provides the perfect “rehearsal” for knowing yourself as consciousness, that which outlives the body and mind.
Along with an increased depth of meditation and understanding, the 5-month training – of one weekend each month – ensures ongoing facilitators’ support and a connection with fellow participants through a WhatsApp group.
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
- To identify the issues that come up when facing the end of life, so that you can address them and have a greater possibility of both dying in peace and also of living a richer, more fulfilling life.
- Meditative approaches that enable you to move more deeply into meditation, into death, and into life itself
- To lessen or dissolve completely the fear of death
- How to support someone who is approaching death, including communication skills and guiding them into a state of relaxed awareness

Maneesha’s sessions – on meditation, all life-related issues and those around dying – are based on her over 47 years’ experience of meditation. As a qualified psychotherapist, she has gained an added awareness of the human psyche.
Sudheer has been a meditator for over 50 years and has a gentleness that makes him very relaxing to be around. His first experience of OSHO Dynamic Meditation was at the age of 21 and he has experimented with all the OSHO meditations and many meditations from The Book of Secrets by Osho.
“One neither has to be free from death nor does one have to triumph over it. One needs to know death. Knowing death causes it to dissolve; then suddenly, for the first time, we become connected with life.
“To enter death voluntarily is meditation, and the one who enters death voluntarily attains to life. That means: one who encounters death ultimately finds that death has disappeared and he is in life’s embrace.” - Osho
