Answering the question, “Is it possible to celebrate misery?”
“This is a wrong attitude that has been given to you—that sadness is wrong. Nothing is wrong with it. It is another polarity of life.
Happiness is one pole, sadness is another. Blissfulness is one pole, misery is another. Life consists of both, and life is richer because of both.
A life only of blissfulness will have extension, but will not have depth. A life of only sadness, will have depth, but will not have extension. A life of both sadness and blissfulness is multi-dimensional; it moves in all dimensions together.
To me, life in its totality is good. And when you understand life in its totality, only then can you celebrate; otherwise not. Celebration means: whatsoever happens is irrelevant—I will celebrate. Celebration is not conditional on certain things: “When I am happy then I will celebrate”, or “When I am unhappy I will not celebrate”.
Celebration is unconditional; I celebrate life. It brings unhappiness—good, I celebrate it. It brings happiness—good, I celebrate it. Celebration is my attitude, unconditional to what life brings.”

From: Yoga: The Alpha and the Omega v.4 Chap. 10 “The Alchemy of Celebration”

Last month at the week-long Osho Risk Summer Festival in Denmark, I re-confirmed my deep trust in the alchemy of celebration. Milarepa was there with his band, and I saw, yet again, how dancing, singing, meditating together, playing, laughing, and feasting together creates an energy field that lifts the consciousness of everyone within it, to new heights, towards light.

When I arrived there I was harried, depleted, and nearly - no actually - depressed from traveling so much, and felt in need of a break. “Where”, I asked myself, “am I going to find the juice to lead my events”?

But with no time to think, I jumped into a whirlwind week of Tantric events, singing in the Evening Meeting, Heart Dance, playing in the Cabaret show, parties, incredible food, hugs galore…a veritable love feast!

I saw, within myself as the week progressed, a gradual inner movement towards light, happiness and joy, that welled up naturally. I felt deeply nourished and "simple at heart" in a way that gave me courage to be myself. Now, several weeks later I am still surrounded by the fragrance of meditation and celebration that we all created together at Osho Risk.

Don’t miss your local Osho celebration/festival—feel the love, smell the flowers!
Many Osho Centers have Festivals and Celebrations throughout the year, and in Italy, August Festivals abound.
