Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. It was taught in India more than 2500 years ago as a universal remedy for universal ills, i.e., an Art of Living.
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.
Residences The men’s and women’s residences have single, double and triple rooms with bathrooms. Single rooms cannot be be reserved.n the summer months, some male students may be housed in outdoor tents and cabins. Indoor accommodations are first reserved for students who must be inside due to physical or health limitations, so please come prepared to be accommodated outdoors. Tents are on platforms measuring 8′ x 10′ and 10′ x 12′ and are large enough to stand up in. Cabins are partitioned to accommodate four people. They are unheated and have no source of electricity. Temperatures throughout the summer can range from 40 degrees F.(4C) at night to 100 degrees F. (38C) in the afternoon, and in the spring and fall, from 30 degrees F.(-2C) to 70 degrees F.(22C). Be aware that temperatures at the center can range 10 degrees F.(6C) to 30 degrees F. (18C) cooler than the states south of Massachusetts.
