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 trust of our experience.

The Practice
Vipassana meditation teaches us to observe Mind & Body. Instead of struggling, resisting, or trying to change the outside, we learn to rest into a calm, clear, non-judgmental awareness. We practice cultivating equanimity (Upekkhā) with awareness of every sensation, thought, or feeling, letting each come and go naturally. 

The Art of Living
As we become established in the practice, we begin to recognize and release unhelpful habits of thought, speech, and action. Vipassana helps us become conscious of habits happening at a subconscious level that create dissatisfaction and struggle in our lives. With improved clarity and focus, we retrain in 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.

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 meditation teacher, dancer and new father based in Sintra, Portugal.

His journey with meditation began during his studies at Melbourne University, Australia, where he discovered Vipassana to transform his relationship to stress, anxiety, and a lifelong struggle with eczema.

Experiencing profound benefits early on, he committed to a daily practice and intensive silent retreats in the tradition of S.N. Goenka—while working full-time at Vanguard Investments.

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 embodied arts such as Contact Improvisation, OceanDance, Butoh and Aikido.

He trained for four months under teacher, Ajahn Puttar, at Wat Sopharam monastery in Northern Thailand and has cumulatively spent over 30 weeks in intensive silent retreat.

His approach to Meditation is characterised by his Embodiment practice, living in Community, and closeness with Nature. Integrating the spiritual with the human, the primal, and grounded in daily work. 

Believing in sharing a balanced and fully integrated approach to meditation and life, he founded vipassanathome.org in 2021. 
 

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.

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.
