The festival, which over the years has touched and influenced the lives of many and has grown to become the largest Osho festival in the world! For three days a village is created; a village embodying within itself a vision of a wholesome life this Utopia that we have created.
We invite you for three days on a colorful village different from anything you have experienced; a village that combines a transformative and powerful awareness conference alongside a festival for one big celebration.
The conference is within the festival; this is Osho’s annual conference in Israel. Osho is considered by many to be the greatest spiritual teacher of the 20th century and the modern era; and one of the most influential throughout human history. In the confrence we bring together all the facilitators who work in the spirit of Osho in Israel to one place for 3 days. We will hold close to 100 workshops with unique interesting experiences on various topics, open to the general public, in 10 air-conditioned halls, with as many as hundreds of participants. The complexes are divided according to the following themes: therapy, meditation, relationships, breathing, movement, body, nutrition, care, development, awareness and children.
Alongside the Conference the Festival is Happening
A fine and multifaceted musical celebration with live performances by the best artists on 3 stages in the village. Starting the day with exciting acoustic performances through to the afternoon in the air-conditioned auditorium, to parties full of groove and funk in the water village afternoons through to sunset, to sweeping and rhythmic performances on the main stage on the grass under the sky all night long.
The perfect balance between inside and outside, between music and silence, between celebration and peace, between time alone and time with friends, you choose the right rhythm and doses.
It is an open gathering of friends and friends of friends, (and an excellent place to meet new ones) a time of togetherness outside of your usual routine in a comfortable environment and family atmosphere, open, calm, happy, pleasant intimate outside the masses.
The festival takes place in the green and spacious village of Givat Haviva.
Right in the backyard of Pardes Hana-Karkur, you can also find the water village that we are building (not your usual pool), endless grass and space, quiet areas, shaded camping areas, air-conditioned sleeping rooms of various types, children’s activity complex, a therapy complex, an artists’ market, colorful happenings, vegetarian and vegan food and many more surprises!
We have worked quite a bit over the years in order to reach the thirteenth year, the festival kept developing each and every year, quite a few people passed by, people who spent countless powerful, beautiful and unforgettable moments with us. The festival is a sea of meetings, dances, that happened between people.
The theme of this year’s festival will be:
War and Peace
We are currently living in a war, yes here, around us, the theme of the festival, War and Peace, is required for us, and invites us to bring awareness to the war and peace microcosm of our inner and personal lives.
When are we in an internal war? In endless self-criticism? Struggling between some parts of us, in internal conflict, and when are we at peace, with ourselves, with who and what we are, with our lives.
And how is it in relationships, in our entry into conflicts, in warlike and angry mode, angry or offended by someone close or far from us, fighting. When are we activated, what activates us? And who are we while in peace and reconciliation, in peace with those close to us, our colleagues, in our relationships, with our family.
The workshops at the conference will touch on all these topics, will allow us to observe them in our inner world, bring awareness to it, to relationships with those around us. For our lives here and now.
And that will be the heart of what we do.
Of course, alongside music and celebration, gathering, community and a rare powerful experience.
