My first 20-day Silent Vipassana Meditation Course

Back (over a week now) from my first 20-day course.

S.N. Goenka, who scaled the courses worldwide, and taught them himself for decades. He died in 2013.

Feels impossible to put the experience into words (which is probably why every blog post about Vipassana I’ve found was written by someone who’s only done a 10-day or two).

To be accepted into the ‘long courses’ (20-days+) there are a bunch of requirements that take years. At this stage, I’m realizing I don’t think people who develop more tend to write about it because you realize you kind of can’t.

But after this, I’m more convinced than ever that Vipassana’s the way to true, unconditional happiness. 💗
