Common questions
Which retreats and courses start in September 2027?
149 courses at 65 places: 143 Vipassana courses and 6 yoga courses. The first starts on 1 Sept: 3-day course for old students at Dhamma Kalyana (Kanpur International Vipassana Meditation Centre), Dhori Ghat.
Which states have the most retreats and courses in September 2027?
Maharashtra (36), Gujarat (16), Rajasthan (13), Uttar Pradesh (11) and Bihar (9), out of 21 states.
Are there retreats and courses near Delhi, Mumbai or Bengaluru in September 2027?
Within a day's drive (about seven hours by road, our rough estimate): Delhi NCR 17, Mumbai 31, Bengaluru 6, Chennai 4, Kolkata 3, Hyderabad 4 and Pune 33. 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, 6 were open for applications and 142 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: 108 courses this month are open to new students. The other 35 (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.
