DEVA SMARAN (Stefano Pesce)

I was born in Italy. About 12 years ago I first came in contact with meditation techniques from the spiritual Master Osho. Without consciously knowing why, I found a new interest and a strong pull towards these "strange experiences" (as I called them that time) and joined an Osho meditation centre.
Three years later I left Italy and moved to India to the big international community today called Osho International Resort. to involve myself full time in all the dimensions of meditating-working on myself.These included primal and couple-relationship-work, breathing techniques, bio-energetics, energy-work, bodywork and working activities of the community

(called Work-Meditation). Daily meditation techniques were the basic and main guidelines. Thanks to all these different approaches I realized that the body was for me the best tool to create a connection with my 'being'. When I first encountered the Gurdjieff Sacred Dances, at a presentation resulting from a five-week long course at the Osho Resort, something in me lighted up - those movements, that music, the energy of that group of dancers! Something about them struck me so deeply that from then on I participated in them whenever available. In the following years, undergoing trainings as an instructor, the Dances became an integral part of my life.
Today my German wife, young daughter and I live half the year in Germany and spend the winter season in India, where many people, including other young international families like ours, are sharing the experience of living and working with a new holistic approach of life.

I alternate the practice and teaching of the Sacred Dances with offering individual sessions in the bodywork technique known as Osho-Rebalancing and the energy-work technique Osho Neo Reiki (see the link other activities).
