Vipassana Retreat (5 days)
With Adriaan van Wagensveld
December 12 - 17, 2026
The easiest way to truly experience Vipassana meditation is to attend a retreat. In a protected environment, with all your needs taken care of, you can focus entirely on yourself—like a vacation from everyday life, obligations, and thoughts of the past and future.
You learn to calm yourself by focusing your attention on your breath. Thoughts and feelings are allowed to arise—you observe them without getting lost in them.
Gradually, a natural stillness arises. And in this stillness, freedom arises: you begin to truly feel yourself—your body, your moods, and how everything is connected. Vipassana is a direct path to liberation in life.
The practice is based on a discourse by Buddha, the Satipatthāna Sutta.
