This was my first Vipassana experience and it's hard to describe in words how wonderful it was for me.
Only after spending 7 days in silent meditation I could realize how our life and be overloaded with thoughts, feelings, suffering giving us no time to look within and feel and acknowledge our true self.
The environment was beautiful, we were in a very diverse, multicultural and respectful group. Our "guru" Sister Ben, was very humble, wise, helpful and with a great sense of humour, made easy to endure long hours of meditation and going deeper into the practice.
If you considering doing it, don't think twice, read the other reviews, set a strong mindset, create no expectations and be ready to have a magical experience. If you are lucky to have Sister Ben, like I was, that will be even more special for sure!
