Wow... There is a reason this place has 4.9 stars and over 200 reviews. It is truly a magical place (despite how difficult the 10-day course was) and you will be well taken care of here. Truly a professional experience considering it is volunteer run. I plan to return and serve in thanks. You will receive 2 meals a day (vegetarian) and your own dorm, with simple but comfortable enough accommodations. Everything went so smoothly—all schedules were strictly adhered to, and I was amazed by how little went wrong, ever. This is a space truly conducive for deep meditation, the quiet is palpable. I personally left this course feeling revitalized and renewed, thanks to the sitting, no phone, and nature trails. I would like to try again, though I am not sure Vipassana is the technique of meditation I will continue with, though I am still sitting daily now. I recommend looking into S.N. Goenka's teachings before you go, if you're a first timer; he's a wonderful teacher with a beautiful philosophy, but you will hear his chanting/voice over the loudspeaker during each sit, and that is something you have to be prepared for. For me personally, that was a challenge, though I have utmost respect for his teachings. This course is not 'silent' in every way, but what a peaceful retreat from the world. Absolutely kudos to the staff and teachers, they are marvelous.
It was a great experience. The place is really nice and calming.
Last year, I completed a 10 day meditation course, and it was life changing. It wasn’t easy, but I felt so much calm and clarity after. This year, I did a three day course, and even in short time, it made a big difference. These retreats have helped me find peace and stay grounded in my busy life. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for more calm and self-connection.
Awesome place to find yourself and start a new path in life. This experience really changed you in the best way. Totally free of all amenities, vegetarian food, just supported by any donation at the end of the course if you feel it provides you a value. I strongly recommend to everyone to take this time, its tough but at the end worthy🕉️
If I could I would give 100 stars. One of the best experiences I have had. Highly recommend to everyone on any walk in like. Nothing to do with religion and all are welcome looking for a better true path. Completely free and run off donations. Truly eye opening and wonderful!!!!!!!
