Easily the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life and I’ve done a lot of hard things to date. I’m so grateful to have had this experience, nothing less than life changing and so much more to offer. The truth is in you. As my teacher told me when I was having a very difficult day, “you have to be very brave to do this “. This entire practice and every soul it touches and changes is an incredible gift. Thank you so much SN Goenka. Rest In Peace ??

I've served and volunteered and they were both great experiences. I went in with no meditation experience and it was a tough challenge. I'm a bit heavier and it was hard holding my knees up so I stacked cushions underneath. I really enjoyed the food and the energy.

Accomodation

Men and women have segregated accommodations with single, double and triple occupancy rooms. Both men's and women's areas have separate but shared bathroom facilities. We have only a limited number of single rooms. They cannot be be reserved and are assigned on the basis of medical or other needs, on the day that the course begins. Routine requests for single occupancy will be accommodated, after such needs are taken care of. We ask students to accept the accommodation that is available. Please note that rooms are assigned independently of arrival time and there is no need to arrive earlier than the recommended arrival time. If your request for a single room is related to a medical condition or other concerns such as insomnia or restlessness etc., please inform us. We have two tent sites each for men and women who have previously sat Vipassana courses. We also have tents available to borrow. Tent accomodation is available depending on the weather conditions and all requests for tent sites will be reviewed and must be approved by the Assistant Teacher conducting the course.
