Vipassana Retreats are designed for both beginning and experienced meditators. Daily instruction in meditation and nightly Dharma talks are given, and individual or group interviews are arranged with the teachers at regular intervals. A typical daily schedule starts at 5am and ends at 10pm. The entire day is spent in silent meditation practice with alternate periods of sitting and walking meditation. This regular schedule, the silence, group support, and daily instruction combine to provide a beneficial environment for developing and deepening meditation practice.
Meals are vegetarian, and accommodations are austere, mostly single rooms.
Men and women do not share rooms. Camping is not available. Some restrictions apply. Please call the IMS office for daily schedule. If space is available during a retreat, otherwise between retreats.
