Important registration notice

AFTER Y0U APPLY FOR A COURSE: as soon as you receive a confirmation email or letter, please send us an email or call to confirm or cancel your attendance at the course.

SPACE IS LIMITED: If you have to cancel, please inform us immediately, so that we may offer your place to another student.


Arrival & Departure information

Please plan to arrive on the opening day of the course (day 0) between 2 and 3 p.m. This will give you adequate time to register, to unpack and to rest before the course begins.

IF YOU MUST ARRIVE LATER, PLEASE LET US KNOW IN ADVANCE. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

On the opening day of the course (Day 0), a light supper will be served at 6 p.m., followed by an orientation meeting. The course will begin that evening (Day 0) and will end at 7:30 a.m. on Day 11.

Ten day courses typically begin on a Wednesday evening (Day 0) and end early on Sunday (Day 11).

All students will stay for the entire course, from the beginning on Day 0 to the end of the course on the morning of Day 11. The only exceptions are those granted special permission to leave early by the Assistant Teachers.


Donations

In the tradition of pure Vipassana, courses are financed exclusively by donations. These donations are accepted only from those students who have completed at least one course of ten days with Mr. S. N. Goenka or one of his Assistant Teachers. Having experienced the benefits of Vipassana, students taking their first course may offer donations on the 10th day of the course or any time thereafter.
