Runner up in the 2020 Carmel Bird Digital Literary Award.

The year is 1986, Guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh has been exiled from the United States after the highly scandalous failure of his Oregon ashram, Rajneeshpuram. Told from four different perspectives and through various time jumps, Zorba the Buddha documents how this movement fell apart from the inside out.

Each character's experience sheds light on the attractive qualities of the movement's Master, as well as their individual struggles to follow his commands and align their faith with his teachings.

A truly compelling read, Katerina Cosgrove's novella and reflective essay give insight into the true events that began in Oregon and ended in Crete.
