We’re all in the same boat: once we’re born death is somewhere on the agenda! Yet facing that fact is scary for most of us; or we just don’t get why we’d want to look at what death means to us while we are busy living.
Look a little more closely and we notice that in fact living and dying are not separate; that our attitude towards death affects how we live (and of course how we have lived will affect how we die).
In this workshop you can begin to explore – beyond the superstitions and the conditioned fears – what death means to you, personally. As well as meditation, structures and sharings, dance and movement plays a pivotal part throughout, so that the experience is both profound and uplifting…even joyful.
What can you expect to gain? A more profound understanding of death and, through that, a deeper love for life.
In the video clip Maneesha talks to a group in The Netherlands about the inescapability of death and using meditation to enable us to both live and die more consciously.

Maneesha has been facilitating workshops and retreats focused on conscious living and conscious dying for the last 20 years. Drawing her inspiration from the many years she spent in the company of the Indian mystic Osho, she creates a safe space for exploring conscious dying using a wide range of meditative techniques and simple structures.
Maneesha has also worked with a number of individuals who were facing death and provided the psycho-spiritual support to help them through the transition of death – she sometimes calls herself a ‘transition midwife’. She is co-founder and co-director of OSHO Sammasati and is a published author. Originally from Australia, Maneesha now has a base in north London.
