A Short and Intensive Version of the traditional Vipassana Retreat

Instructions in English and Spanish

The Vipassana Island

Vipassana Island is a great opportunity to understand how your mind and body are operating and to meet yourself in a deep way.

Spend a whole weekend with yourself, sitting in silence in the supportive energy of a meditating group and the energy of the Open Sky Oasis Community who has been practicing this unique form of Vipassana for over 15 years.

The Island consists of a chair, meditation cushion, a back jack, mattress and blankets. A loving helper team will bring you food and  take care of your needs.

Instructions in English and Spanish.

Loosing Fear

We are afraid of death, we are afraid of separation, we are afraid of nothingness. But if we look deeply, we realize the incessant change of things and gradually lose our fear.

 -Thich Nhat Hanh

Aftermovie

We made a short film of the first moment people open their eyes after 48h of sitting in meditation blindfolded.

Looking Deeply

“A quiet mind is an important foundation for awareness because it allows you to look more deeply inside yourself.” 

– John David

A Journey into Silence

“Through silence, we can hear
the voice of our own heart.”

– John David

No conversations, no phone, no music, no distractions. By turning off external stimuli, you can focus completely on your inner world and explore the sensations of your body, the fluctuations of your mind, and the nature of your emotions. With the support of the energy of the Open Sky House Community, you will be able to dive deeply into the practice.

Vipassana, based on the teachings of the Buddha, aims to gain insight into the nature of reality and attain liberation from suffering. By observing the impermanence, dissatisfaction, and non-self of all experiences, you will cultivate equanimity and discover timeless wisdom. Thus, this weekend is not an escape from reality but a deep immersion into it.

Whatever arises in meditation within you, you face it, do not run away, and by confronting obstacles with courage, compassion, and curiosity, you will discover your inner calm and strength.

This weekend will be a transformative experience for you and will deepen your meditation practice: a stepping stone to a life of clarity, compassion, and freedom.

Testimonials

The experience of the Vipassana Weekend was very intense, being blindfolded and with little body movement, but more than worthwhile. I highly recommend this weekend for anyone with an Interest of Going Deep Inside themselves.

A great opportunity to meet yourself in a very intense an intimate way. I didn't know it is possible to feel so much love and joy just sitting on a mattress. A big thank you to the Open Sky support team! I am extremely touched from the amazing loving care during the whole weekend.
Kate
I had phases of many thoughts and phases of very deep silence. I could see clearly the core thoughts which build the foundation of many of my structures. This was very insightful. At the end there was only silence and gratefulness.
