All courses are run solely on a donation basis. All expenses are met by donations from those who, having completed a course and experienced the benefits of Vipassana, wish to give others the same opportunity. Neither the Teacher nor the assistant teachers receive remuneration; they and those who serve the courses volunteer their time. Thus Vipassana is offered free from commercialisation.
Old students - Those
who have completed a 10-day Vipassana Meditation course with S.N. Goenka
or his Assistant Teachers.
10-day courses
are an introductory course to Vipassana Meditation
where the technique is taught step-by-step each day.
The courses begin after a 15h to 17h registration period and
orientation, followed by 10 full days of meditation, and
end the morning of the 11th day by 6h30.
Service Periods
have been set aside to work on a variety of Centre maintenance,
construction, household and gardening projects. All
Old Students
are welcome to participate. The daily program will include
three group sittings with morning and afternoon work periods.
On selected evenings, there will be tapes played of special
discourses and talks that S.N. Goenka has given to Old Students.
Old Student short courses

S.N. Goenka and his assistant teachers. All old students are welcome to
apply to attend these courses, including those where it has been some
time since their last course.

10-day courses , one Satipatthana Sutta course, given Dhamma Service
at least one 10-day course, and have been practicing regularly for
