As a young lady, Ushma was looking for the meaning of life and set off on an adventurous trip to India in search of a Guru. Back in Italy, Ushma joined the Hare Krishnas and lived in a Buddhist monastery before coming across sannyasins to finally find her path. Ushma ran for many years an Osho meditation centre in Italy and contributed to making Osho available in Italy by organising festivals and creating CDs with guided meditations.
Today our guest is Ma Deva Ushma. Ushma took sannyas in 1978 and ran the Arihant Osho meditation centre in Italy for 40 years. Ushma is an Osho Neo-Reiki Master, bodyworker and very passionate about sharing and teaching Osho meditations.
