Vipassana Illawarra Calendar
Practicing Vipassana - The Art of Mindful Living - A Daylong Retreat
Practicing Vipassana meditation is perhaps the greatest gift we can give to ourselves and others. Vipassana is concerned primarily with the cultivation of awareness and understanding. Awareness so that we can see our minds more clearly and Understanding so that we can know what is useful and what is not for experiencing a deep harmonious relationship with ourselves and the world.
The secret of success in meditation practice is in continuity. Throughout the day there will be periods of sitting and walking meditation followed by a Q&A and discussion about strategies for the integration of mindfulness in daily life. The course is suitable for beginners and also those with past experience in insight and mindfulness meditation practices.

Your fees are used to help support the organizational infrastructure of Vipassana Hawaii and the teachers receive no part of it. In accordance with tradition, the teachers of Vipassana Hawaii offer their Dhamma freely and are supported only by dana: freely-offered generosity from their students and supporters. There will be a time to offer dana after the retreat. Please consider supporting the ongoing viability of this way of life dedicated to the lineage to the best of your ability.
