What is the significance of group psychotherapy in the ashram?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Group psychotherapy is a sacred space where we strip away our masks, revealing the fears and desires we hide, allowing us to transform and prepare for the deeper realms of meditation and love."
According to Osho, group psychotherapy in the ashram is a device to become “naked” not just physically but psychologically and spiritually. By exposing what we habitually hide—fear, desire, shame, ego—groups dissolve hypocrisy and repression. This catharsis frees energy, ends titillation born of concealment, and prepares you for meditation, love, and authentic community. The group is a mirror and a bridge, not a destination.
It’s a safe space to drop your masks with others so your hidden stuff comes out, relaxes, and you can meditate and live more honestly.
Why this matters practically
- Releases repressed emotions and conditioning quickly.
- Cultivates honesty in relationships by ending hiding and pretense.
- Clears tension so meditation becomes natural.
