Vipassana Meditation Centers
Vipassana Meditation Centers is a name given for a group of centers around the world, which offer 10 day vipassana courses, in the tradition of S. N. Goenka.
The technique of Vipassana Meditation is taught at ten-day residential courses during which participants learn the basics of the method, and practice sufficiently to experience its beneficial results.
There are no charges for the courses - not even to cover the cost of food and accommodation. All expenses are met by donations from people who, having completed a course and experienced the benefits of Vipassana, wish to give others the opportunity to also benefit.
Courses are given in numerous Meditation Centers and at non-center course locations at rented sites. Each location has its own schedule of courses. In most cases, an application for admission to each of these courses can be made by clicking on a selected one of the listed course dates that appear in the schedule (see the website below).
There are Vipassana meditation courses offered at various facilities on every continent (except Antarctica).
