SUMMARY:Vipassana meditation city retreat April 4-6 with Aad Verboom\, Adi Ichsan and Marc Heijmerink - day 2 with Adi
DESCRIPTION:Vipassana meditation city retreat Saturday April 4 – Monday April 6\, in Samana\, Droogbak 11\, Amsterdam \nFor meditators who have some prior experience of Vipassana meditation. Registration is required\, via e-mail to info@dhammadipa.nl. \nThe sessions will be guided on day 1 by Aad Verboom\, day 2 by Adi Ichsan\, day 3 by Marc Heijmerink.  \nPractical deepening of traditional Vipassana\, emphasizing the distinction between body (Rupa) and mind (Nama). The focus is on the process of spiritual growth (Yogavacara) through the work of diligence\, mindfulness\, and clear understanding (Atapi\, Sati\, Sampajano). \nParticipants are expected to understand how “involvement” with doing\, feeling\, thinking and being affects the maintenance of suffering (Dukkha) and spiritual defilements (Kilesa Tanha). \nFurthermore\, attention will be paid to the supporting functions of discipline (Sikhati) and wise contemplation (Yoniso Manasikara). The method employed will confront the yogi with discomfort\, impermanence\, and meaninglessness\, in every physical or mental posture. The exercises will be expanded to include standing\, walking\, lying\, and prostration meditation. \n\nTimes:  daily from 10 – 18 hours. Please join us us shortly before 10:00\, you’re welcome from 9:40 onwards.\nLunch: In March\, we decided to scale back the organization. Therefore\, please bring your own lunch.
