Common questions
Which retreats and courses start in April 2027?
165 courses at 79 places: 147 Vipassana courses, 10 yoga courses and 8 meditation retreats. The first starts on 1 Apr: 3-day course for old students at Dhamma Dhaja (Hoshiarpur Vipassana Centre), Anandgarh village.
Which states have the most retreats and courses in April 2027?
Maharashtra (30), Gujarat (14), Uttar Pradesh (14), Uttarakhand (12) and Bihar (11), out of 23 states.
Are there retreats and courses near Delhi, Mumbai or Bengaluru in April 2027?
Within a day's drive (about seven hours by road, our rough estimate): Delhi NCR 28, Mumbai 25, Bengaluru 9, Chennai 4, Kolkata 4, Hyderabad 5 and Pune 28. Use "Near my town" on the calendar to measure from where you live.
Can I still get a place?
When we checked in October 2026, 11 were open for applications and 138 weren't open yet. Where a centre gives the date, applications usually open about 13 weeks before the course starts. Places change daily, so check the official site.
Can I join a Vipassana course if I've never done one?
Yes, on a 10-day course: 116 courses this month are open to new students. The other 31 (Satipatthana, 3-day and longer courses) are for old students who have completed a 10-day course. Every centre listed runs its courses free of charge, on donations from past students. You apply on the centre's schedule page; a place is confirmed by the centre.
