<\/p>\n On this retreat of the Vipassana meditation<\/a>, we welcome both beginners and those with prior meditation experience, irrespective of religion, gender or age (16+). Vipassana is a Buddhist contemplation method; however, one does not need to be Buddhist (or have knowledge of Buddhism) to fully benefit from the meditation; in fact most course participants are not.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n All participants are given detailed introduction into meditation at the beginning of the course.<\/p>\n The course is organized around directing attention inwards as much as possible. Participants sleep 6 hours a day, breakfast is served usually 7am, lunch at noon. The rest of the time is dedicated to the practice<\/a> with short breaks between \u201crounds\u201d (walking+sitting meditation). The course is conducted in silence (and off-line). Whatever happens during the day can be discussed with the teacher at daily individual meetings; however, teachers are available 24\/7 if needed. The teachers might adjust the regime individually if necessary (e.g.due to medical conditions).<\/em><\/p>\n Participants follow traditional 8 precepts which support meditation by eliminating distractions and make it easier to share space with others: no killing, stealing, sexual activities, lying, intoxicants, eating after lunch, entertainment (reading, writing, singing, music, yoga, phone, internet, \u2026) & cosmetics, luxury.<\/p>\n Food is vegetarian; snacks are served in the evening (youghurt, fruit juice, piece of cheese). Water, teas and coffee is available all day round.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Participants can be contacted by their families in case of emergency through organizers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"Katar\u00edna](\"http:\/\/vipassana.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/katarina-34.jpg\")
