Summary This article examines a multinational community of meditators and therapists, now called the Osho International Meditation Resort. Based on 6 months of ethnographic fieldwork at this resort located in Pune, India, the article focuses on cathartic therapies and active med- itations, analyzed as practices of self-formation affected by relations of power and ideology. The article provides new data about the insti- tutional and ideological contexts that currently inform sannyasin practices, revealing how the organization paradoxically promotes and controls expressive behavior. The study introduces the notion of “psy- chic deterritorialization” as a way to conceptualize processes of cathar- sis and self-derailment verified among Western sannyasins and travelers. Moreover, it examines orientalist claims about the Indian self and culture that tend to obstruct Indian nationals from partici- pating in therapy workshops. The efficacy of expressive therapies, as exemplified by the Osho resort, depends on historically shaped tenets of “repression/expression” that forge the Western subject.
