Program
This special Vipassana retreat is a great opportunity to understand how your mind and body are operating and to meet yourself in a deep way. You will spend a whole weekend with yourself, sitting in silence in the supportive energy of a meditating group and the presence of John David. He has been guiding people into their hearts and essence for 25 years. John David's version is a shortened and intensified way of a Vipassana course. On Friday evening, you start with dinner in silence and Satsang with John David.
Afterward, you will begin your 48 hours of meditation on your Vipassana meditation island. This will be a unique experience where you spend the whole weekend with yourself, supported by the energy field of a meditating group and John David. John David Satsang recommends wearing a blindfold. A loving helper team will bring food, fill up your water bottle, and take care of all your needs. Your Vipassana meditation island is equipped as simply as possible: consisting of a chair, meditation cushion, back jack, mattress, and blanket.
On Sunday afternoon, the blindfolds are removed and you come together for the opportunity to share or simply be in silence. The Vipassana retreat sharings are characterized by wonderful depth and energy. For many meditators, such an intense weekend surely brings up also challenging moments. This could for instance be back pain or a constantly grumbling mind. However, the other side of the coin is that participants often are able to see through the illusions of the mind and relax into their own true essence.
This is the real purpose of Vipassana meditation and the reason why John David recommends such a weekend as one of the most effective methods for getting a glimpse, and a better understanding, of who you truly are. The Vipassana meditation island program is open to everyone, regardless of how much or little prior experience you have with meditation. More important is a wish to understand the workings of the mind and to be available for a potentially transformational shift in your perception.
