🌿10-Day Insight (Vipassana) Retreat

with Antonio Satta

Dates: 21.09.-02.10.2026

Insight (Vipassana) retreat focuses on developing direct experiential understanding of the nature of mind and reality. While the word Vipassana is commonly associated with Theravāda traditions, the practice of insight (Tibetan: lhaktong) is also an essential component of Tibetan Buddhist meditation.

The aim of the retreat is to cultivate wisdom that sees reality clearly, particularly the nature of mind and the absence of inherent, independent existence in phenomena (emptiness). This insight gradually weakens ignorance, which is considered the root of suffering.

THIS IS A 10 DAY INTENSIVE SILENT RETREAT.

REGISTRATION BY APPLICATION ONLY (please download the application form below).

 

“PLEASE READ THE RETREAT GUIDELINES AND TRAVEL INFIRMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE APPLYING”.

 

The retreat will be limited to only 20 participants, allowing for an intimate and focused environment.
