A Vipassana meditation course is very demanding both physically and mentally. It is important that you are prepared for the rigorous nature of the course. After you have completed the application process if anything related to your physical or mental health changes, please contact the center prior to the course.

For the health and safety of all the students, it is important that you are in good health when you arrive at the center. If you are sick, or should become ill close to the start of your course, we ask that you reschedule for a future date.

If you should need to cancel from the course because of illness, your next course application will be given priority.

A simple vegetarian menu, developed to satisfy the needs of most students, is offered at all courses. Sample summer and winter menus are available. Please note, no outside food is allowed at the center and we are unable to accommodate special food requests. However, if you have food requirements because of a medically diagnosed condition such as diabetes or pregnancy, please contact the center immediately to see if we can meet your needs.

Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
