A seeker since a young age, Samvara came across a living Master and dropped everything to be with Osho. Samvara enjoyed the extraordinary atmosphere of the Osho commune in Poona, India where she trained as a breathwork therapist. Before leaving the body, Osho asked Samvara to introduce in the commune a 3- month Buddhist silent meditation retreat. Samvara still treasures and honours this wonderful gift from Osho and makes it available in her beautiful place in Brazil.
Today our guest is Ma Deva Samvara. Samvara took sannyas in 1976 and is a psychologist and holistic therapist. Samvara specialises in breath therapy, rebirthing and meditation retreats.
