Every Thursday Evening | 19:00–21:00
Weekly In-Person Meditation Gathering

Open Vipassana Meditation Evening, suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners, guided by one of the teachers from Dhammadipa.

Vipassana Meditation

Vipassana means “insight” or “seeing things as they truly are.” It is one of the oldest forms of meditation in the Buddhist tradition and was made widely accessible again by S.N. Goenka. Vipassana is a systematic technique for training awareness, cultivating inner stillness, and gaining deep insight into the nature of body and mind.

By observing bodily sensations with open, non-reactive attention, you develop clarity, inner peace, and a profound sense of freedom.

Starting May 1st, 2025, we will resume weekly in-person sessions. Guidance will alternate between Adi Ichsan, Henk van Voorst, Aad Verboom, and others.

The evening consists of walking and sitting meditation, along with complementary exercises. It’s an open group – no registration required.

Thursdays are suitable for both beginners and advanced meditators. After the session, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. On Monday evenings, there is an online meditation for somewhat more experienced practitioners, unless another activity is scheduled.

The meditation space is equipped with cushions and benches. We recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.
