Service Periods

Each year there are different service periods during the course-free times. Usually there are 4 long time service periods of about 2 weeks and several shorter service periods aboout 3 days. Furthermore, there is always the possibility to come between the courses to the service. The accurate dates, at least those of the longer service periods, of the current year can be found here!

These working periods between courses are very important to maintain the continuous operation of the centre. They are the only time in which profound cleaning, limited construction work and bigger garden projects can be accomplished.

These working periods are a wonderful opportunity for Vipassana students to combine meditation practise and Dhamma Service and to understand the operation of the Vipassana Association.

Daily Routine

Every day there are three group sittings. On other times you will help in various service areas like house, garden, construction, etc. During the joint meal times you can exchange your experiences with other meditators and there is sufficient leisure time for recreation. In the evenings videos about Vipassana or special discourses of Goenkaji can be played. A large library with Dhamma literature is available for the servers in their free time. These service periods are guided by experienced Old Students and many times a teacher is present as well.
