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.
