First Vipassana Meditation Retreat in the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 Hello, Couchsurfing friends! On August 19th, the first Vipassana meditation retreat in the Dominican Republic will take place in Cabarete, Dominican Republic. It will be a 10-day silent meditation retreat, with vegetarian food, meditation classes, and talks, following the tradition of S. N. Goenka. The course will be conducted in both English and Spanish, so you can participate in whichever language you are more comfortable with. The most beautiful thing about these courses is that they are 100% free of charge. They are maintained entirely through donations from old students. After completing the course, participants can make a donation according to their own means and wishes. The retreat is completely non-profit and relies on volunteers who have previously completed the course. The teachers are volunteers, as are the people working in the kitchen and everyone involved in organizing the retreat. I’ve personally had the opportunity to participate in 12 Vipassana courses in different parts of the world, and it has been a very meaningful experience in my life. So I’m really happy to see the first course happening in the Dominican Republic. If you are traveling in the area and have 10 days available, I highly recommend considering this experience. 🙏 Registration and all the information about the course are available at dhamma.org. If you have any questions about how the retreat works or would simply like to talk to someone who has done the course before, feel free to contact me on WhatsApp. I’d be happy to share my experience: +55 65 99997-1477 Maybe this is a good opportunity to disconnect from the outside world for a few days and dedicate some time to yourself. 🌿
