Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India’s most ancient techniques of meditation, traced back to the time of the Buddha. The Buddha never taught a sectarian religion; he taught Dhamma - the way to liberation - which is universal. In the same tradition, Mr. Goenka’s approach is totally non-sectarian. For this reason, his teaching has a profound appeal to people of all backgrounds, of every religion and no religion, and from every part of the world. Read more »

Come enjoy a few days in the quietness of the countryside–a rare opportunity to find some true stillness within. Gen Kelsang Thekchen will guide meditations on clarity of the mind, known as “Mahamudra”.

These meditations have great power to help us develop concentration, and to experience a profound inner peace.

The retreat will be held at the beautiful and tranquil Northumberland Heights Retreat Centre, less than an hour away from Toronto. The retreat will start with an introduction on Friday evening and end Monday at lunch. Read more »
