Almost 15 years ago, when I had just started meditating, I chanced upon a book by Osho. I was immediately hooked and eagerly read many of his other books on meditation. A few months later my allergy doctor, who is also a meditator, happened to mention the World of Meditation (WoM) run by people who had spent time with Osho. Talk about divine providence! After almost a decade of visiting WoM and attending several meditations and workshops with Subhan and Shanti, my wife and I remember their valuable satsang as the most cherished moments of our time in Seattle. Having relocated to the Bay Area, we feel truly blessed that existence has now arranged to make WoM accessible via Zoom!
Osho said a life rightly lived increases in beauty and richness as one grows older. WoM is a venue where one can benefit from the flowering of the lives of beautiful, lifelong seekers like Subhan, Shanti, and other Osho sannyasins. I invite everyone to come experience the beautiful fragrance of silence and wisdom that is so selflessly and generously shared by the keepers of this sacred Buddhafield.
I met Subhan and Shanti when they taught a dynamic meditation workshop at Yoga to the People in San Francisco in 2017. They opened me up to many different ways of practicing meditation. Subhan gave me counseling for several months, and it really helped me to grieve the death of my dad, brother, and sister. Subhan’s approach to counseling has been unique in my experience, because I feel like our relationship is more of a spiritual teacher and student type of relationship as opposed to my previous experiences with other counselors where I felt like I was just a client to them. I have so much love for both of them, especially when they’re teaching together. I highly recommend their workshops and counseling.
Dominic Jeffries-
We are so glad we can participate in the Satsang. I, Nadam, really needed it, as I am rather unsettled these days.
Thank you again for making this available, it is so needed to feel connected.
Every workshop I have done at the (wonderful) World of Meditation has helped me build more self-awareness, love and silence the critical mind. Shanti and Subhan specialize in offering active meditations to folks who want to meditate but can’t. They are highly skilled in helping the participants “watch” the deeper layers of the mind that stop us from moving forward towards our true dreams and selves. They keep the workshops very experiential, loaded with wisdom and topped with delightful humor. Subhan picks some amazing quotes for each workshop which aid the participants to reflect deeper. Shanti has truly created a space of compassion, warmth and joyful leadership for each participant. They are my favorite mentors and helped me have OSHO in my wonderful life.
I would like to share with you what happened this afternoon in Zen meditation (with Subhan, Shanti and Pranesh). Some know I struggle with English! I understand it a little, but cannot speak it! I knew that perhaps no one would come who could help with the translation. However I decided to join!
The beauty of all this is that meditation is indeed a beautiful way of living, there are no borders, creeds, or languages, it is pure love, it is a gift to be present, sharing with great teachers. If you have the opportunity to ever enter Zen meditation, it is beautiful! It fills you with peace and infinite tranquility. Tuesdays are also a great gift, learning unknown meditations from Osho, that fill your soul.
Make a small contribution to the center in Seattle! It is nothing compared to everything beautiful that they have to give us. I am infinitely grateful to life for this opportunity and I would like everyone to take the time to do this. It is a great gift!
I was lucky to bump upon World of Meditation during my stay in Seattle, WA. The meditations helped me keep a cool head and the workshops helped develop a deep insight into life. Slowly with regular practice I felt really light and could handle most life situations from a composed state. WOM center made me feel really supported in life. I feel one is blessed to have such a support system these days.
Thank you for all the love!
The world meditation center has been a life-changing experience for me. The active meditations are superb as well as the sharing meditation which have gone a long way for increasing my intimacy with myself and other people. I’ve experienced a greatly improved quality of life since attending the center, I highly recommend it!
