Introduction to Vipassana Meditation
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, an Art of Living. To those who are not familiar with Vipassana Meditation we recommend visiting the international Vipassana website for an introduction.

To Apply for a Course
To learn Vipassana Meditation one needs to develop one's own experience during a residential ten day course. To apply for a course find a convenient date in the Course schedule. This will take you to the Introduction to the Technique, the Code of Discipline, the Daily Timetable and the Application Form.

Introductory Talks and Events
Public talks about Vipassana Meditation and other events are periodically scheduled to provide interested persons with information about the technique.
