Awareness Intensive: Who Is In? The blurb says: "The structure of this course is based on traditional Zen techniques. It is designed to penetrate beyond your habitual masks and pretensions and to focus your total energy into the search for who you really are. When you are repeatedly asked the modern koan, Who is in? and answer moment to moment, awareness of your identification with the personality starts to develop. Once this is experienced and understood, you shift towards your being, to the center of witnessing. You feel a profound relaxation and the joy of being in the present moment. During this residential course, you will be in silence and isolation. A 3-day Course, July 1 to 4th. at Osho Resort, Pune, India. Details: osho.com website
