Absolutely amazing experience. Just finished my first 10 day course. The center is very well organized, people are so kind and helpful, they take care of smallest of the needs, Food is excellent. The practice and the teachings of meditation techniques is absolutely amazing. There are walking tails around to get into nature and it feels so peaceful. The whole 10 days felt like a blessing. The silence did not bother me at all, also no dinner thing is ok, as the physical activity is very limited so not much food required. But make sure you find your comfortable sitting position for meditation as soon as you can. Otherwise it can get painful sitting for longer times as the course progresses. Also the utility water smelled a little like vinegar, but after couple of days you get used to it. Overall, unique experience, feel fortunate to have come across this. I am very grateful to all the people at the center and around the world, who work hard selflessly to serve others.
