About the courses

Ten-day courses are an introductory course to Vipassana Meditation where the technique is taught step-by-step each day. The courses begin after a 2-4 pm registration period and orientation, followed by 10 full days of meditation, and end the morning of the 11th day by 7:30am. See the Code of Discipline for more details, and then complete the application form.

Old Student short courses (1&3 days) are for any student who has completed the 10-day course with S. N. Goenka and his assistant teachers. We encourage you to apply if it has been some time since your last course. One day courses are from 8am-5pm, longer courses begin at 2-4 pm the first day and end by 7:30am or 5 pm the last day. Please review the Code of Discipline, and then complete an application form.

Satipatthana Sutta courses have the same timetable and discipline as 10-day course. The difference is that in the taped evening discourses the Satipatthana Sutta is carefully examined. This is the principal text in which the technique of Vipassana is systematically explained . These courses are open to serious old students who have completed at least three 10-day courses, have not been practicing any other meditation techniques since last 10-day course, have been practicing this technique of Vipassana for at least one year, and who are trying to maintain the five Precepts in their daily lives. Please review the Code of Discipline, and then complete an application form.

Special and Long courses are open only to serious students committed to this technique who have completed a minimum of five 10-day courses and one Satipatthana Sutta course, and have been practicing regularly for at least two years. The 20-day course is a requirement for the 30-day course. The 45-day course and the Teacher's self-course require at least two courses of 30 days. The Special 10-day course is for students who have previously taken a long course or who have met the long course requirements for at least 10 years. Special-10 and Long Course Application Forms, necessary for these courses, are available at all centers and on the old student web page. Applications must be submitted well in advance as processing may take some time
