SUMMARY:Intensive 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat 21-31 August 2025
DESCRIPTION:From 21 to 31 August 2025 an intensive 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat will be organised under the guidance of Aad Verboom. \nFor whom: the retreat is open to both beginners and advanced meditators. \n\nFor beginners\, you must have completed at least a Vipassana introductory course in the tradition of Mahasi Sayadaw or have comparable experience\, as assessed by the instructor.\nFor people who are not yet familiar with Dhammadipa and/or Aad Verboom\, a short intake interview will take place\, physically or via Zoom.\n\nGuidance: Aad Verboom is connected to Dhammadipa as a teacher\, for more details see www.verboomtraining.nl (Dutch text only). \nTradition and practice: Aad Verboom practises Vipassana meditation in the tradition of Mahasi Sayadaw and from the ‘direct method’. In the direct method there is emphasis on the development of mindfulness (sati) and the corresponding ‘momentary concentration’. There is no or less need for deeper concentration. If meditators develop or wish to develop more concentration during their practice\, this is okay\, in consultation with the teacher. \nWithin the tradition of Mahasi Sayadaw intensive practice is mostly done by alternately doing the sitting- and walking exercises. In this retreat we practise 24 hours per day (sleeping included). You practise mindfulness in the sitting\, walking\, standing and lying postures and during all other activities such as eating\, brushing your teeth etc. This makes the practice uninterrupted\, relaxed and natural. \nFacilities:  \n\nYou have your own room but we also practise together in the meditation hall\, during the day and evening\, alternately sitting and walking. Every evening there is a Dhamma talk and every day there is a short talk (interview) with the teacher.\nThe venue is very suitable for the intensive practice of meditation. As in July 2022 and February 2024 we stay at the Sisters of Denekamp – Zusters van Denekamp | Home.\nThe food is vegetarian\, with a warm lunch and in the evening a light meal. Dietary wishes can be fulfilled within the limits of reason.\n\nRegistration:   \n\nIf you are interested. send an email to info@dhammadipa.nl and a registration form will be sent. Read carefully\, fill in\, sign and mail it. \nRegistration is based on order of entry of the registration form. \n\nIf you have any questions\, please send an email to aad.verboom@gmail.com. We can email\, phone or make a physical or Zoom appointment. \nGeneral information:  \n\nDate: 21 to 31 August 2025\nVenue: Zusters van Denekamp te Denekamp\, Zusters van Denekamp | Home.\nGuidance: Aad Verboom\nCosts: depending on the number of participants between E 980 and E 955.\nNumber of participants: max 14.\nDana: at the end of the retreat there is occasion to give dana for the guidance and/or to Foundation Dhammadipa.
