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. For those who are not familiar with Vipassana Meditation, an Introduction to Vipassana by Mr. Goenka & related info is available at dhamma.org.

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.

Wings to Awakening is offering support groups and group sittings in our centre to help students maintain their practice and to provide a safe and clear introduction for those who are interested in the practice.
