Vigyan Bhairav Tantra Retreat (2026)

During this retreat, we practice Tantra methods, from the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, a 5000-year-old scripture comprised of 112 methods for the expansion of consciousness.

Sarita received profound inspiration from Osho’s discourses on the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, contained in his ‘Book of Secrets.’ After many years of practicing these methods, she began teaching them. She has been offering the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra Retreat Series since 2004.

During this Retreat, we will be working with how the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra Methods are mirrored through the 12 facets of life.

These 12 facets of life are:

1. Love & relating
2. Creativity
3. Senses
4. Purification & Healing
5. Body, Breath & Movement
6. Devotion
7. Knowledge
8. Silent Meditation & Witnessing
9. Subtle Energy Fields
10. Elevation to Higher Consciousness
11. Sex, Birth & Death
12. Playfulness & Wonder

The Transcendental (Bindu):

The build-up, refinement, and transformation of the 12 facets of life force energy during this retreat invites an elevated awareness of one’s full sensual being. Within each facet, we offer several enlightening Tantra methods aligned with that particular life principle.

Within a few days, you may sense an on-going ecstatic connection between your body and soul, matter and spirit. It is a rare opportunity to explore these powerful Tantra methods, in a highly supportive environment. In this way, we distil the nectar of our inner being to its ultimate potency.

The retreat is offered once per year. Each year for three consecutive years, we offer one-third of the 112 methods. This means, over a three-year period, you have the opportunity of experiencing all of the sublime methods offered in the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra. There is no sequential order to follow, however, and no requirement to participate in all three. It is your choice.

By participating in this retreat, you are offered a unique opportunity to understand the true essence of Tantra; a path for discovering enlightenment in each and every aspect of human life experience.

Sarita says:

“I am ecstatic to have the opportunity of offering this retreat in Dharamsala, India. This is a region which was an important cradle of Tantra in ancient times. By offering this group in the exquisite Osho Nisarga Meditation Centre, I feel an auspicious circle is completing. It is both a homecoming and a beacon of hope for the renewal of Tantra on this earth.”
