Overview
Many people today are taking their first steps into self-awareness and self-discovery. Like all of us, the journey inward begins by simply observing our thoughts, our breath, and our body—and this starts with meditation. For some, a daily practice of 5–15 minutes is a beautiful and powerful beginning. But for those seeking deeper transformation and lasting impact, there comes a moment to go further: to immerse themselves in 10 days of silence, stillness, and self-observation—meditating for nearly 10 hours a day, in a center nestled in nature.
To help you take the most out of this experience—while keeping it safe, grounded, and fully aligned for you—we offer guidance in this powerful journey:
-
Vipassana Meditation Preparation
-
Meditation foundations Training
The 10-Day Vipassana Meditation Retreat is a silent, intensive, and immersive program designed to help participants cultivate deep insight and inner peace. Rooted in the teachings of the Buddha, Vipassana means “to see things as they really are.”
During the retreat, participants follow a strict schedule of seated and walking meditation, observe Noble Silence, and refrain from all forms of communication and distractions—including phones, books, and writing.
The technique is taught in a step-by-step way, starting with Anapana (mindfulness of breath) and gradually moving into Vipassana (deep insight through body awareness). The entire retreat is held in silence, guided by recorded teachings from S.N. Goenka and supported by assistant teachers and volunteers.
The 10 days Vipassana Retreat is offered completely free of charge—donations are accepted only at the end, from those who wish to support future participants.
Expectations
