OSHO AFROZ Meditation Center | Eresos, Lesvos Island, Greece | a place for peace harmony and meditation

Activities

Daily Meditations

The meditations that everybody in OSHO Afroz participate, have been designed by a great Master of the East, OSHO. These are mediatations combining knowledge, techniques and wisdom from the depths of the centuries and a variety of mystic schools. They have been designed in such a way so as to correspond do the needs and demands of the contemporary western man, his culture and way of life. The daily meditation program is as follows:

7:30 OSHO Dynamic Meditation
10:00 Meditation in the Buddha Hall
18:00 OSHO Kundalini Meditation
19:30 Evening Meditation Meeting
21:45 Evening Meditations / Events (occasionally)

The above meditations constitute the main activity of the center. Courses and sessions, beautiful nights at the bar or chatting around the tables, the buildings and the people are all there and they exist in order to create the necessary environment so that you can participate totally and deepen in these meditations. It is therefore self-evident that whoever does not wish or feel like taking part in the daily celebration of meditation has absolutely no reason of being in the center.

Sessions

In specially arranged areas of the center, a series of session are offered, depending on the personal needs and wants (body, emotions, mind or senses).
Sessions are provided by persons that have been tried and evaluated for their practice.
We should remind that sessions and courses offered in OSHO Afroz are designed in such way so as to help you participate and deepen your experience to meditations (Dynamic, Kundalini and Evening Meditation Meeting).

Meditative Agricultural Activities, such as:
I. Gardening (Tree care, fruit collection, watering, organic cultivation)
II. Making of VRASMA (syrup) from Figs
III. Making of olives and olive oil

OSHO Afroz has its own olive trees. Each year we collect them for eating and to make olive oil. We use organic fertilizers and no pesticides. Most of the work is done by hand by sannyasins. The connection with nature creates a special energy for the sannyasins and has a positive influence on the quality of the olives and the oil as well. This all makes the olives and the olive oil part of the so called "SLOW FOOD" process and in general a part of meditation in Afroz.

Making of olive oil and olives for eating We shake and brush the olives out of the tree and they will fall in a big net. We remove the leaves and put the olives in bags. We bring the olives to a special biological factory, where they are cold pressed, to preserve the maximum quality. The connection with nature and sannyasins create a special atmosphere and has influence on the quality of the olive oil.

In 2010 we collected 1400kg of olive for making oil. This resulted in 160 liters of olive oil. (8 kilo olives for 1 liter of olive oil!) We also collected 600 kg of olives and prepared them in certain different processes for eating them.
