Welcome, I'm Reimar.

I share Vipassana meditation, rooted in the Buddha’s teachings, for those who wish to bring mindfulness into their life.

Whether you’re just beginning or looking to deepen your practice, I offer online courses, in-person retreats, and 1:1 guidance to support you both at home and in the world.

Vipassanā (विपश्यना), meaning “clear-seeing” or “in-sight,” is a meditation technique that develops profound awareness of the present moment. It is also known as Insight Meditation, a practice that helps cultivate clarity, calm, and a deep understanding of our experience.

What do we practice to see clearly?
We practice becoming fully aware of the Mind-Body moment by moment.
Mind includes our thoughts, feelings, intentions, and consciousness, while the Body encompasses sensory experiences, movements, and sensations. In essence, it is our subjective experience of this life.

The Practice
Vipassana meditation teaches us to clearly observe Mind and Body without interferring. Instead of struggling, resisting, or trying to change our experiences, we learn to rest into a calm, clear, non-judgmental awareness. We practice cultivating equanimity (Upekkhā) with every sensation, thought, or feeling, letting each come and go naturally, with less attachment or aversion.
 
The Path to Freedom
As we become established in our practice, we begin to recognize and free ourselves from harmful habits of thought, speech, and action. Vipassana helps us learn a wholesome way of living, good for ourselves and others.
 

A Timeless Practice
Vipassana is the meditation technique that the Buddha practiced over 2,500 years ago to attain his awakening. While traditionally practiced in Buddhist contexts, it is a scientifically rigorous and non-sectarian practice, which has led to its widespread popularity in the West today.

The Side Effects of Practice

Freedom and Happiness

Over time, the practice calms the hindrances and behaviours that stand in the way of happiness and freedom to be who we are.

Improved Relationship

Transforming how we relate to our Self and others. As we become more kind and understanding of ourselves it naturally flows over to those around us.

Effortless Non-distraction

Directing your mind intentionally, there is less worry, rumination and distraction. We become more fully present and intimate with our life.

Your Facilitator

reimar wen shen

Reimar is a Vipassana meditation teacher and dance improvisation facilitator based in  Germany, passionate about body-mind practices.

His journey with meditation began during his studies at Melbourne University, Australia, where he turned to Vipassana to cope with stress, anxiety, and a lifelong struggle with eczema. Experiencing its benefits early on, he committed to a daily practice and intensive silent retreats in the tradition of S.N. Goenka—all while working full-time in investment management.

During COVID, Reimar moved to Thailand to deepen his meditation practice and discovered the Ajahn Tong-style Mahasi method. At the same time, he immersed himself in conscious embodiment practices such as Contact Improvisation, freediving, and Aikido in Japan. He later trained intensively for four months under his teacher, Ajahn Puttar, at Wat Sopharam monastery in Northern Thailand.

Believing in a balanced and fully engaged approach to meditation and life, he founded vipassanathome.org in 2021 to make Vipassana more accessible to others.
 
To further support his one-to-one work, Reimar completed a 6-month Embodiment Coaching training and now integrates somatic tools and perspectives into his work.
 
With over 30 weeks spent in intensive silent meditation retreats, he shares his experience through group courses and one-on-one mentorship from Germany.
 

Francine, Canada

I first began working under Reimar's guidance in the fall of 2023 and am, a year later, still a loyal student.  

 

His approach is a delicate balance of teaching meditation and guiding through sharing of experiences and knowledge.  I admire his ability to be open to learn from his students, to be in a listening posture with deep respect.

 

I enjoy the pace of our time together, unhurried, reflective, valuing words and silence.  Undoubtedly my meditation practice has evolved and moreso my willingness to allow what I experience in meditation to permeate my daily life. 

Try the practice

These short 20-minute guided meditations offer a taste of this style of practice. These meditations are rooted in the Buddha’s original teachings and offer a direct, embodied experience of the present moment.

Awareness of Breath

(Anapanasati)

Resting into Breath
00:00 / 22:01

A gentle return to the rhythm of the breath—calming, centering, and grounding. The starting point of all Vipassana practice.

Awareness of Sensation 

(Vedananupassana)

Sensory Experience
00:00 / 22:36

Open to the unfolding landscape of sensation—pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral—with clarity and equanimity.

Awareness of Body (Kayanupassana)

Walking Meditation
00:00 / 21:56

Bring presence into the body moving. A walk that steadies the mind and awakens embodied awareness.
