What is the festival about?
- Who is it for: Everyone
Our Osho Risk New Year Festival is always one of the true highlights of the year.
It is a great way to come and experience Osho Risk in a friendly and lighthearted way. If you have not been at Osho Risk before, this is also a great start! The details about the program will follow once it is closer. However, we already have some good things lined up:
Osho’s Dynamic, Kundalini and Evening Meditation with live music and a talk related to the day is the well-known backbone of the celebration days. The band will play daily for live Evening Meditation and satsang meditations, starting already on the 27th.
In a wide variety of juicy workshops we will connect with our own center and explore the topics that are important for us at this time in our lives.
The title ‘Celebrating Life’ means an invitation to be in warmhearted connections with others, to dance and sing, to enjoy and feel grateful – also sometimes on a base of our vulnerability, our wounds and problems. All is part of life. And silence may have an inner dance of its own. New Year’s eve we will have a party second to none.
‘The Risk New Year Party is the very best, the absolute top’, says Parigyan. ‘Nothing compares to the juicy play with identities and the dance and laughter of this special evening’. Come and join!
“When I say be cheerful, be happy, rejoice in the fact that you are not in the position of being miserable and suffering, I have a certain purpose behind it. The purpose is that you have to become an example to those people who have completely forgotten that life can also be a rejoicing. In spite of all darkness you can still be unburdened by the darkness, you can still dance. Darkness cannot prevent your dance; it has no preventative force. To me, this is real service”. – Osho: Gold Nuggets

What participants say
"In 2001, I had the good fortune to participate in a seminar on the Inner Judge held by Avikal. During that weekend, a new sound, from somewhere within me was released. A desire to explore what had happened began to move and the taste of a new truth appeared from the depths of the “old” me. Since then, I’ve continued on this path and this has brought me, over the years, an ever increasing harmony with myself and the world around me. At the same time, I feel I am always at the beginning of something new in this art of exploring the vastness of my inner world."
Susan Craig - nurse coordinator, counsellor and lecturer, USA
"Avikal Costantino was my teacher in a 3-year Essence training in Denmark. He turned out to be the exact 'right' teacher for me, with his provoking, and at the same time trusting-the-process and staying-one-step-behind-the-shoulder attitude. I love his clarity and find his teachings and coaching to have a perfect blend of new insights, science-based theory, and experience. With heart-warming humour, he led me to the edges of my quite stubborn conditioning, offered me (and still does to this day) a wider view, and a loving invitation beyond its boundaries. I feel deeply grateful for my association with Avikal and his work. "
Caroline Beumer-Peeters - Psychotherapist, author & trainer, Netherlands
I had a wonderfull and surprising journey. From having a hard time singing in public to going into a flow of unknown strenght and sharing my voice like I never did before. Getting to show all of me, every aspect of my voice - even new sides I didn't know myself, developed through the processes we went through. I felt seen, not just for the part that people usually see, but for my whole beeing. A sense of being a whole person, even though all of me isn't showing in every situation, is still with me.

This is a highly rexommendable course for both the experienced and less experienced inner journeyer. The workshop leaders are authentic, inspiring and caring.. A perfect combo for a sound journey into the unknown. The process equals unpacking gifts with fellow travelers in a playful way.

Fasttrack to love - through movement and heart connection. This training is the mostt uncomplicated and transformative self development I've ever done. To move and dance what's true in me, is a speedy way to a more healthy and loving life. I became more spaceous and loving just by participating in a few very straightforward and uncomplicated (yet intelligent) excercises, where sharing helps in understanding and integrating I am so grateful of the opportunity to participate in this training. It has given me one of my greatest life opportunities. Opportunities I was unaware of before the training.
