Dhamma Sumeru Vipassana Meditation Center

Wonderful place and unforgettable experience. Even years after the retreat, what I learned then still gives me strength today. Be aware that 10 days are very challenging, but all the more you grow in the whole process.

Go there. Don't spoil yourself by getting information about it before going. If you are into meditation, self development, good challenges or even just want a new experience, go on a vipassana retreat. You will grow as a person.

It is a very calm atmosphere, and the mountain location is beautiful. My only other Vippasana center experience was in Dhamma Kuñja in Washington State. This, by comparison, is much smaller. I served as kitchen staff for a kids course, so my stay was short, but I enjoyed it. One of the highlights, aside from the meditation itself, was the 7am walk to the dairy farm next door to get 10L of fresh milk. It was a joy to work with the rest of the kitchen team and it was good to work on my meditation practice.
