7-Day Meditation & Sound Healing Retreat in Kathmandu Valley

The 7 Day Holistic Wellness Retreat in Kathmandu is held at Osho Divine Zone, a serene retreat center run by Swami Basu and his family. The program is built around daily meditation, with a strong emphasis on Osho's active meditation techniques, which are designed for modern lifestyles. Mornings start with yogic cleansing (Neti Kriya) to clear the nasal passages, followed by a meditation class that blends theory with practice. After a silent breakfast, you'll explore the science of meditation through mindfulness and observation. Afternoons are free for nature walks, visits to local temples or monasteries, or self-practice, giving you time to absorb what you've learned.

What makes this retreat different is the depth of instruction. Swami Basu has spent decades studying under Osho, and his teachings are rooted in Buddhist and Osho traditions. He's known for his engaging talks on Buddhist teachings that even self-proclaimed bookworms have loved. Ma Binita adds another layer with her sound healing sessions, using singing bowls to create deep relaxation, and her Reiki sessions are described as wonderfully releasing. The daily schedule also includes White Robe Meditation, a Osho practice that encourages sitting in awareness, and an evening gratitude meditation called 'The Art of Listening.'

The location itself is a highlight: a family home surrounded by forest, with a river nearby and mountain views. It's 15 minutes from the Thamel district, so you're not completely isolated, but you'll feel worlds away from the city's crowds. The retreat is ideal for anyone wanting to learn meditation from experienced teachers in a personal, intimate setting. Whether you're a complete beginner or have been practicing for years, the program is structured to meet you where you are, with plenty of individual attention.
