Vipassana Centers

The Oregon Vipassana Association organizes Vipassana courses in different locations around Oregon. There are currently four ten-day courses per year, as well as short 1- to 3- day refresher courses for old students (those who have already taken a ten-day course).

Penang has a temporary centre on a hillside with good views overlooking Georgetown. It has shared dormitories for up to 35 students. Usually two ten-day courses are held each month except during the mid-year harvest season.

We are currently running 3 days courses for returning students at a rented site on the Isle of Cumbrae.

Ten-day courses are usually held several times a year. They are mostly at St Johns Island which is located approximately 6.5km south of Singapore. Accommodation facilities are dormitories with shared common bathrooms and toilets. There are regular 1-day courses and weekly group sittings for old students.
