Chandrika U. Carrivick-Zimmermann

Executive Director

  • Nationality: Swiss
  • Born in: 1954

I have lived at the OSHO Humaniversity since 1985. I am an Executive Director, train Humaniversity Therapists and lead workshops in Humaniversity Therapy, specializing in primal and parental issues as well as group dynamics. I lead the AUM Meditation Leader Training and the Sexuality Training. 

My special passion is to lead twice a year the Tan-Ju program, which provides emotional and social education for teenagers and introduces them to the world of meditation.

After graduating with a Masters degree in psychology I worked as a school psychologist in Switzerland. I undertook intensive studies in therapy and eastern wisdom with Veeresh D. Yuson, Bert Hellinger, Dan Casriel, Leonard Orr, Michael Barnett, Alain Lowen amongst others.

I got initiated by Osho in 1976 and pursued meditation practice since then. In 1978 I founded and ran a large Osho community in Switzerland. 

Living at the OSHO Humaniversity means I have opportunities to work on many different levels, for example leading workshops and trainings, supervising my students, giving individual sessions, making the study plans, organising in the community, overviewing the computer department and administration. I love to to be able to use all my different talents and work together with friends who are also excited to share what they have.  

I love taking care of people and making them understand that they are loveable just the way the are. To bring people back into their hearts is my passion. When they start to radiate, it makes me happy and that is what nourishes me.

I enjoy working with people at any age. I have been a passionate archer and won prizes. I am also trained in Hap Ki Do. I love cooking, ikebana flower decoration, photography, sculpting, gardening, painting and I create mandala art.
