Vipassana meditation silence course

Vipassana is the form of meditation attributed to the Buddha that enables direct insight into reality. Without concepts, acquired knowledge or theoretical explanations, you concentrate on the simple perception of all inner processes - without avoiding, analyzing or evaluating. No prior knowledge or special convictions are required - just the courage to be honest, patience and the willingness to really look. In silence, life reveals itself as it is and enables deeper insight and inner freedom.

In the course you will experience Vipassana beyond sitting in silence in movement: Walking meditation, Qi Gong and yoga complement the practice and help to connect body and mind. You will be part of the daily rituals of the Yoga Vidya house, including the morning and evening mantra chanting. There is absolute silence until the last day of the seminar at 8am - no distractions from talking, reading or external stimuli to deepen the experience.

This course is open to anyone who would like to engage in a direct and unadulterated meditation practice. Vipassana means allowing yourself to be guided inwards - into your own center.

🌿 Suitable for beginners and advanced practitioners.
✨ No previous knowledge necessary.
🧘‍♀️ Basic knowledge of yoga and meditation is helpful, but not a must.

The Yoga Vidya seminar house is idyllically situated on the edge of the old spa town of Bad Meinberg. The location is quiet and central at the same time. It is therefore easily accessible by train or car. Larger cities in the vicinity include Paderborn (27 km away), Bielefeld (35 km away) and Hanover (100 km away).

If you are traveling by train, we recommend the Horn-Bad Meinberg train station, which is about 5 km from Yoga Vidya House. Yoga Vidya Bad Meinberg offers a free shuttle service from the train station in Horn-Bad Meinberg between 8.30 am and 7.15 pm.
