Vipassana 10 day retreat

April 29, 2007

The Vipassana Association of SA is very pleased to announce that a venue has been secured for the first Vipassana course to be held in Gauteng. The course will run from 18-29 July at the Max Stibbe School, near Pretoria.  

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.
