  • Notes and Events:

Ten-day residential courses in vipassana meditation are held twice annually. All ten-day courses begin the evening of the first day and end early morning of the last day. Vipassana means to see things as they really are. In a ten day course students learn to develop heightened awareness and concentration, which is then used to examine their own mental and physical nature. By this practice they gain insight and detachment to free themselves from such mental tensions as anger, greed and fear. These courses are conducted by Assistant Teachers to S. N. Goenka of the Vipassana International Academy, India.
