About this event
Hello Dear Friends!
AUM is an intense, dynamic, emotional practice that gives you an opportunity to express your emotions and feelings through the movement. It is a meditation practice where you can release your emotions, awaken the inner energy and shake off the stress.
AUM consists 13 stages, with each stage you are invited to explore different emotions through dancing, exercise, role-play and expression.
The purpose of this process is to release suppressed feelings and stress, and reconnect to your inner self, to that child inside of you.
Stages of AUM:
• Anger
• Forgiveness
• Love
• Second Wind
• Cuckoo’s Nest (Crazy)
• Kundalini
• Free
• Meltdown
• Laughing
• Dance of the Lovers
• Center of the Universe
• WoWing
• Namaste
In our sessions, you'll explore all your feelings through 13 stages:
Start by letting go of any built-up anger.
Then, forgive others.
This opens the door to feeling and sharing love.
With this love, you'll feel inspired to push past your limits.
Take a moment to shake off any remaining tension.
Let yourself be free and enjoy the moment.
You will laugh, cry, and dance!
At the end, find peace and quiet in your mind with AUM 🙏🏻 and meditation.
We'd love for you to join us for this uplifting experience!
It is not your typical meditation, AUM is very powerful and dynamic practice where you can do everything what your heart and soul desires: scream, laugh, cry, be crazy, happy, smile, be silent.
How does it work?
The AUM is based on the understanding that in order to be silent, the Western mind first needs to get rid of tension and stress. It is a highly active and interactive meditation that takes you on a rollercoaster ride into yourself. The stages consist of bio-energetic exercises, emotional release, dance, meditation, and various ways of meeting. Along the way, your co-meditators become mirrors in which you can see yourself clearly. You will move from one extreme to another (e.g. from crying to laughing and from negativity to positivity), to come finally to a deep inner silence. Then you are ready to meet each other with an open loving heart.
What is the effect?
AUM is an ideal opportunity to refresh old friendships and create new ones. It is healthy for your body and mind – giving you energy, relieving you of tension and stress, healing old pain, and helping you to get in touch with your strength and vitality. Afterwards you will feel satisfied, cheerful and relaxed. The AUM can change your life!

Frequently asked questions
It is important to wear loose-fitting clothes which allow you to move your body. It can be hot in the room and you may sweat, so please bring an extra T-shirt with you. A dry, clean T-shirt feels good for you and for others when you hug.
No, the AUM is not therapy, and it is not a replacement for therapy. The AUM is a social meditation where you learn to master your emotions. The goal of the AUM is to transform negative emotions into positive, creative energy and to achieve personal well-being and peace of mind.
The AUM is not suitable for women who are pregnant. The intense movements and emotions can be detrimental to your body and the unborn child.
No. People under the influence of alcohol or drugs cannot join the AUM. Also people in treatment with a psychiatrist who are currently taking medication should not participate.
You will first need to consult your counselor or therapist before joining the AUM. The reason is that participation in the AUM can influence the therapeutic process.
Yes, you can join. For many people crying is difficult in the beginning. With practice it gets easier. Screaming can also be difficult at first, but through participating, you can learn how to express yourself and release these negative feelings. We will give you all of our support.
Osho gave Veeresh the group “AUM Marathon” in 1975. It stands for Awareness, Understanding, and Meditation, and is an intense workshop of personal exploration lasting six days. In 1989, after leading this group for many years, Veeresh created the AUM Meditation as a gift to Osho.
Yes, in most cases. It is important that you indicate to the leader what your limitations are. We will support you with creative solutions so that you can participate as much as possible.
There are 13 stages in the AUM, which take approximately 8 minutes each. The stages are: Negativity, Forgiveness, Positivity, Second Wind, Shaking, Freak Out, Dancing, Crying, Laughter, Dance of the Lovers, AUM-Chanting, Silence, and Namaste.
