Our Mission

The technique of Vipassana Meditation is taught at ten-day residential courses during which participants learn the basics of the method, and practice sufficiently to experience its beneficial results.

About ALBERTA VIPASSANA FOUNDATION

Students gather at 4.30 am to receive meditation instruction from S.N.Goenka, on audio and video, till 9 pm. They sit in a quiet environment.

There are no charges for the courses - not even to cover the cost of food and accommodation. All expenses are met by donations from people who, having completed a course and experienced the benefits of Vipassana, wish to give others the opportunity to also benefit.

Donations from students who have completed the course may be made through this website.
