About
Be Relaxed, Well and Happy
The Vipassana Centre offers retreats in Vipassana meditation to beginners and to experienced practitioners.
Vipassana retreats are 1, 2, 5 or 10 days and take place at our centre in London.
Vipassana will improve your wellbeing and help you to develop loving kindness towards yourself and others.
We look forward to meeting you and to welcoming you here soon!
The Technique
Seeing as it is
Discovered by Siddhartha Gautama in India 2500 years ago, 'Vipassana' means ''seeing as it is'' or "seeing clearly" and involves the observation of sensations as they arise naturally within the body.
With the insight that is developed from practising the technique, improvements to mental and physical health occur.
Whereas some Vipassana meditation centres may promote a particular religion, The Vipassana Centre does not. Our retreats are 100% practical without any rituals, praying, ceremonies or anything that might appear religious in any way.
Our Location
Peaceful, Calm & Accessible
To be accessible to as many people as possible, our new centre, which opened in 2022, is located in the heart of London, near Regents Canal.
The Vipassana Centre is a registered charity (number 1200600). All income we raise from donations and paid for places, is used to offer free and discounted meditation retreats to those who cannot afford them.
Teachers
Our Story
20 Years & 7 Continents...
Jay spent 20 years practicing, studying and volunteering in Vipassana centres all over the world. Eventually, he decided to come back to his home town to open The Vipassana Centre and a Pilates & yoga studio with his French wife Emilie.
Emilie is the wellness manager responsible for the smooth running of the meditation retreats. She is also an accomplished yoga and Pilates teacher. Ever since she met Jay on a retreat in France, yoga, Pilates and meditation have become a way of life.
Our Method
A Personal Touch
We keep Vipassana retreat sizes small so that we can give you the attention you need.
We go at the pace that is right for you so that you become established in the technique.
More than that, you will learn how to incorporate it into your daily life for long lasting benefits.
