One-Day Courses for Old Students

Day sitting of old meditators of S.N. Goenka

These courses generally begin  in the morning and end in the late afternoon (please click on the links below for details at each local event). Goenkaji may give beginning instructions (Anapana, Vipassana) or closing instructions (Metta) in these one-day courses wherever his schedule allows. Please note that although Goenkaji is scheduled to be in the area during this time, it cannot be absolutely guaranteed that he will be present for the course. Many factors will affect Goenkaji's participation, especially everyone's concerns for his optimum health during his extended tour.
