Are courses available in other languages?

Not by Vipassana at Home but I can recommend: vipassanadacasa.it (vipassanadacasa.it)for teachings in Italian.

I have already sat a 10-day residential Vipassana retreat. Is this course still useful?

If you wish to reinvigorate your daily practice or get a new perspective and a long-term practitioner's take on the technique, feel free to join.

What is Vipassana?

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 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.

No, we are not associated with Dhamma.org. The technique taught is very similar to the one taught in S.N. Goenka Vipassana centers but our teaching approach is informed by the facilitators experience in other Vipassana traditions as well. The course is by no means a substitute to a full 10-day Dhamma.org course. We highly recommend any practitioners to attend a full in-person retreat to really experience the technique.
