Osho Desert Ashram Israel

A bit about the place and the people

An Ashram is a place for learning and experiencing yourself. It is a school in which you decide the rate of your learning.

Osho once said: “to teach meditation you need do nothing but provide a meditative atmosphere”.

Indeed, with the open desert surrounding us, the daily meditations and the many possibilities to work with us in the gardens and in the kitchen, to rest and to have fun. Osho Desert Ashram is a special place that helps you shed your layers of armor and come closer to yourself and to others. And to breath.

The Ashram was founded several years ago by Rafeek, man of the media, and Musa, man of Kibbutz Samar, one of the pioneers of date farming in the Arava and introducers of the Rainbow tribe, a man of vision.

Throughout the years, many dear friends have lived in the Ashram or came through it, and they built and shaped its unique character.

Today, the residents and operators of Desert Ashram are: Shradha, Yoram Jay ram, Utsav, Tal (half), Nirdosh, Assaf Re’emim, Diani and Jagadeva Orram, and with us are the participants of the Working Meditation Program and other lovely people, who help around in the special everyday life of the place.

As a community and a commune, we try to live together in awareness, harmony and love, honest humanity, cooperation and mutual support in the growth of this place and in the personal growth of each and every one of us.

The facilities include air conditioned rooms with attached bathrooms, a workshop and meditation hall, a meditation tent with a view of the desert, a huge circular dome facing the desert, a mess hall that serves tasty home cooked vegetarian meals, camping areas with hot showers and a couple of cute little pools.
Furthermore, we try to be environmentally friendly, separating the trash and making compost, natural mud construction and more.

The various activities in the Ashram include: meditations, Rebearthing, therapy, yoga, laughter yoga, Psychodrama, Contact, Tantra, Primal Feelings, breathing, bioenergy, dancing, singing, writing, art, Vipassana, martial arts, Tai Chi, Qigong, Chakra work and many more.
