Approaching dying consciously

Osho course image

A meditative journey into life, death, and consciousness.

This training offers a space to explore how living and dying are deeply connected — how awareness, acceptance, and meditation can transform the way we meet both. You’ll learn to consciously prepare for your own dying and to accompany others with a calm, compassionate presence.

“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

About the OSHO Bardo Training

The OSHO Bardo Training invites you to explore one of life’s greatest mysteries — death — through awareness, meditation, and compassion. It is for those who wish to consciously prepare for their own dying and offer meditative presence to others in their final stages of life.

The Training consists of two parts.
Part 1 (three modules over three weekends) starts this November and can be taken on its own and is followed by Part 2 (two weekends) beginning in March 2026.

Throughout the training, you’ll discover the inner resources that allow you to live fully and approach death with grace and gratitude. You’ll deepen your understanding of consciousness and learn what it means to accompany someone with presence and sensitivity.

Between sessions, you’ll be supported through an ongoing WhatsApp group shared with facilitators and fellow participants.

After completing Part 1, you’ll receive a Certificate of Completion for this first stage of the training.

Part 1 — The Foundations (Three Modules)

Over the three weekends, we will explore a range of techniques, including OSHO Bardo, to deepen meditation as a preparation for dying. You’ll learn the art of communicating with the dying by cultivating a meditative presence and offering support that encourages relaxed awareness.

Module 1 — OSHO An Experiential Enquiry into Death
A direct, meditative enquiry into the fact of our own dying. We meet whatever arises — we will look at the emotions that may arise — fear, resistance, sadness, curiosity — and how to meet them in ourselves and others — and learn to stay present and aware as these layers unfold.

Module 2 — OSHO Doing Dying Differently
We explore the issues that commonly arise for the dying and for those accompanying them.
How can fear, grief, or shock be met?
How can we support someone to relax, to trust, and to open to a deeper space within themselves?

Module 3 — OSHO Connecting From Emptiness
Being with someone who is dying is deeply challenging.
Starting from our own inner spaciousness, we explore ways of relating that are meaningful, respectful, and rooted in meditative presence — whether visiting someone who is dying or caring for them daily.

What will I learn in Part 1?

  • How to recognize and address the issues that arise when facing the end of life — opening the possibility for both a peaceful death and a richer, more fulfilling life.
  • Meditative approaches that enable you to move more deeply into meditation, into death, and into life itself
  • Ways to lessen — or even dissolve — the fear of death.
  • How to support someone approaching death through clear communication and by guiding them into a state of relaxed awareness.

What is included?

  • Three training weekends
  • WhatsApp group: A space to practice meditative methods, receive assignments, and share insights and experiences around terminal illness and dying.
  • Materials provided: Handouts, recommended reading, and — upon completion — a collection of techniques and Osho quotes used throughout the training.
  • An experiential approach that is unique, tested, and often described as life-changing.

Part 2 — Deepening the Journey (Two Modules, Beginning March 2026)

Part 2 continues the Bardo exploration with a deeper, more skill-based focus.

Module 4 — Meditation Facilitation
Throughout Part 1, you’ve been practicing methods to prepare yourself for dying consciously.
In this module, the focus expands outward: you learn how to gently guide someone else into a space of relaxed, meditative awareness — an invaluable skill when supporting someone approaching death.

Module 5 — Coma, Grief, Ethics & the Larger Questions
In our final module, we explore more complex dimensions of death:

  • Being with someone in a coma
  • Supporting grief — your own and others’
  • Ethical considerations, including assisted dying and euthanasia
  • The question of reincarnation and other timeless themes

These two weekends complete the training and offer a mature, grounded foundation for supporting others with sensitivity, confidence, and profound presence.

Meet Your Facilitator - Maneesha, Sudheer, Elisabetta

Maneesha, Sudheer, Elisabetta

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.

Elisabetta holds a J.D. and is pursuing an M.A. in Women and Gender Studies. A meditator for over 35 years, she weaves scientific methods with poetic awe, embodying feminine and masculine qualities. Passionate about creativity and embodied consciousness, she explores meditation as both participant and facilitator.

What a profound course, rich in Osho’s vision, insights and meditations! Maneesha and Sudheer are experienced and loving facilitators of this process. The discussion and sharing with other group participants from all over the world was also invaluable.
I was in a period of transition in my life and this online course was of tremendous support. As well, I now feel much more equipped to support myself and others practically and lovingly in the process of dying/death.
This remembrance of living and dying in each moment has brought an intensity, totality and sacred depth to my life. Much gratitude.

Paritosho Rowe, New Zealand

The online Bardo Training presents an exceptional opportunity for me to deepen my experience and understanding of Osho’s vision on living and dying, through the love, heart, and years of experience shared by Maneesha and Sudheer. They created a space where I could explore myself, learn from others and and be guided on a variety of subjects and meditations. I will use this experience for myself and to help or assist others in their process of dying and death. To share that with people from all over the world, different backgrounds and cultures is a true exploration.

Kamal, Germany

I enjoyed this training very much. It was spaced out with weekend modules once a month over a 5 month period, this worked very well into my schedule. The online format works great. Each module was well thought out, informative, interesting and very helpful to me, especially when being with a dying person. It also addressed a lot of my questions about my own dying process as well as the one in support of a dying person. The training has the right combination of meditations, experiential sharings, teachings and supportive materials (audio, video, notes and bibliography). I’ve been wanting to do this training for many years and when it was offered online I jumped on the opportunity. Maneesha and Sudheer are simply fabulous. It was very enriching and rewarding, and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the topic of death and meditation. I learned a lot.

Elisabetta, USA

Very beautiful: profound yet light. Maneesha and Sudheer created a wonderful space for meditations and discussions, and what a privilege to hear the stories of others and share that witnessing space with them. It’s become easier to speak normally with friends and family about conscious dying and a friend here is organising a dinner party for people to discuss and make out their advanced care directives together!

Sigari Luckwell, Australia

It was a deep experience and I learned a lot how to support my own death or others. I went through some fear and found out I have now more courage to face death and to live my life in the moment.

Deva Ramita, Taiwan

I am delighted to have participated in OSHO Bardo Training with Maneesha and Sudheer. All through these 5 weekends, there have been countless sharings, processes and meditations, all of them allowing me to bring a deep understanding of this important moment of my life. I was not only facing my own death, but also the death of loved ones and how to be with dying people, how best to accompany them. We all had our hearts wide open to be able to touch very deep spaces that also provoked a transformative inner process in-between the training days. Maneesha and Sudheer create a loving space.

Suvasa, Switzerland

I’m immensely thankful for the opportunity to participate in this training. Sudheer and Maneesha, as masters in their field, have offered a precious gift by sharing their experience online. These weekends have granted me invaluable clarity on various facets of the dying process. Through this journey, I’ve gained awareness, deeper comprehension, and enhanced compassion for those facing the end of life. I now have a clearer understanding of my preferences for my end-of-life care, which brings me a sense of peace.
I’m grateful to all the participants and their precious contributions.

Anurag Maaria Stefani, Italy

The Bardo zoom training course is a natural and very important training for an issue we often don’t talk about. To consciously address this issues are so important and depending. I love the way our facilitators, Manseesha and Sudheer, created a perfect blend, module by module. Me myself happened to get a heart attack in the middle of the training so for me to have this group and support was such a divine gift beyond it all.
I highly recommend this process to all. A deepening meditation and acceptance process.

Premleena, Sweden

This course is an absolute essential for everybody. It not only covers practical aspects of living and dying consciously but also gives many techniques to deal with most complicated cases around death. It is a great opportunity to explore hidden mysteries. Big thanks to Maneesha and Sudheer for all their efforts and initiatives towards the subject.

Mala, United States

The training has expanded my vision and specially my feeling about our Eternal and One nature. It is a great gift to be able to have deep conversation with a wonderful group about something most people prefer not to talk about.
To sustain the concentration for a few months on death and analyzing from many different angles is immensely valuable. I feel more alive than ever!
With gratitude to Maneesha and Sudheer.

Ulises Calatayud, Italy

“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
