Many first-time meditators choose Vipassanā for their first retreat.

Vipassanā is ideal for those new to meditation because it introduces you to the foundations needed to build a strong meditation practice and is a doorway to profound insight and realization.

Join Catherine Pawasarat Sensei in an ten-day Vipassana meditation retreat, where we will practice a balanced meditative approach using the foundations of mindfulness from the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta.

At this retreat, the practice itself is awakening, life-changing and healing. And most importantly, you will reap great benefit from the rare in-person guidance of an accomplished meditation teacher and wisdom holder, Catherine Pawasarat Sensei. Sensei’s teaching is radical, down to earth, and one-of-a-kind.

If you have a background in Vipassana retreats and are interested in doing something that is similar but a next step, with a live teacher, then this retreat may be for you. You will receive more detailed instructions based on the Buddhist satipatthana sutta, and opportunities for asking questions and receiving feedback on your practice. This is priceless.

An online option is also available for those not in Western Canada, to make participation possible from anywhere in the world.
