Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of the oldest forms of meditation, getting its start as a “universal remedy for universal ills.” This ancient technique is taught exclusively through 10-day residential retreats around the world and are strictly donation-based to encourage those who attend to provide others with the opportunity to benefit. ⁠

⁠
Having returned from her ninth 10-day retreat just this past September, our co-owner Ayako DeRuby will host a donation based workshop, designed to provide the basis for Vipassana meditation. ⁠
⁠
We will explore the history, the foundation of the root of all suffering, and the prerequisite of Vipassana meditation, ᴀɴᴀᴘᴀɴᴀꜱᴀᴛɪ. Students will be provided with a take home sheet so they can learn more about developing a daily practice. ⁠
⁠
While this is not a true Vipissana course, our hope is to expose students to the principals of the practice and encourage a deeper understanding and connection.⁠ As such, the fee for the workshop is purely donation-based. ⁠
