Osho Zazen Group

Osho Zazen Group is a residential immersion in the essence of Zen’s zazen—silent sitting and slow, mindful walking. As activity calms and the mind grows quiet, thoughts are seen clearly, without pursuit or judgment, and the gaps between them lengthen. In this uncluttered space, awareness becomes steady, simple, and luminous.

Rooted in the Zen tradition of Japan (with origins in Chinese Chan), Zazen literally means “sitting, doing nothing.” Osho emphasizes that while the heart of zazen is effortless presence, in the beginning a gentle effort helps gather scattered energies. With periods of sitting alternated with slow walking, and all daily activities done in silence and deliberate slowness, the practice ripens from alert watching into a soft, passive awareness—just being here, and allowing life to unfold by itself.
