Who We Are

Veeresh, born Denny Yuson-Sánchez in New York in 1938, is the founder and president of the Osho Humaniversity. He is known for his innovative and inspiring way of working with people. He trains the therapists at the Humaniversity and leads workshops here and around the world.

Already a successful therapist in London, he met Osho in 1974 and soon fell in love with his teachings. Osho gave him the name Veeresh, meaning “bliss beyond fear.”

Several years later he started the OSHO Humaniversity, creating a therapy center and community where friendship is the highest value.

Osho was an Indian mystic, master and teacher. His philosophy and teachings have inspired much of the work of the Humaniversity. Osho promoted a life based on awareness, love and responsibility. He interested Westerners especially because he discussed topics from Eastern and Western philosophical and spiritual traditions in a lighthearted way, making them easily accessible.

At his community in Pune, India, he encouraged people to meditate and to participate in therapy in order to gain a deeper understanding of themselves. This community exists today in Pune as the OSHO International Meditation Resort. Osho’s discourses have been recorded in countless books which are sold all over the world in many languages. For more information about Osho and the OSHO International Meditation Resort, please see www.osho.com

Many of Osho's followers took on a new name as a sign of their new commitment to learn about themselves. This is what is meant by becoming a "sannyasin" or disciple. Many of our therapists and staff have unusual names for this reason. You are not expected to be, or become, a follower of Osho in order to participate in our programs. Each person's spiritual beliefs are respected.

Yes, you are very welcome. We are open every day from 9:00 to 18:00.

To have a tour of our campus, please come on one of our Open Days, which begin at 15:00 on the first Sunday of each month (excluding January and August). We will give you a general introduction to our work and answer questions about our programs. The day ends at 18:00. How to Get Here

Our therapy comes from a blend of many schools of Eastern and Western psychology. Much of our work is done in a group setting, so that you are supported by the people around you.

Our therapy is based on two principles. First we help you to let go of everything that holds you back from what you want in life. Second we will support you to create the life that you’ve always dreamed of. In a safe environment you will take risks to step out of your self-imposed limits and practice new ways of being.

We use sharing, bodywork, emotional expression and healing exercises in order to clear out your old, stored pain and frustration. We help you to replace it with love and the inspiration to move forward. We will guide you to open your heart in a healthy way to others. When you go home, you will be able to apply the practice you’ve had here to improve your relationships and the overall quality of your life.
