Dhamma Pataka Vipassana Meditation Center

"I recently attended the Vipassana meditation retreat at Dharma Patake, and it was far beyond anything I expected. I had reached a point in my life where I knew I needed a reset, and choosing to go there was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The course was one of the hardest courses of my life, and also the most rewarding. Through the silence, discipline, and inner work, I found clarity I didn’t know I was missing. I left feeling vindicated, liberated, and deeply grounded. What I gained from this retreat, mindfulness, humility, kindness, and the simple ability to be happy are lessons I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I’m committed to applying what I learned every day, and I already look forward to returning again in the near future."

"Had to leave due to falling ill on day 7 but still a very worthwhile experience. My first 10 day was in 2017, I had no expectations and had no idea what I am getting into. The meditation technique taught so masterfully has been the foundation of the life I live today. So much gratitude to the people who avail themselves to share this work."

"I went to the centre for a 10 day silent retreat. It was one of the top 3 most challenging and deeply moving and rewarding experiences of my entire life!! The kitchen was humble and the food simple but prepared with so much love. Went straight to the soul!! My recommendation is that you take the retreat seriously. It was such a challenge and a privilege to have the opportunity to explore the deepest parts of my being in such a safe and generous container."

"One of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever done and can honestly recommend a Vipassana retreat to anyone interested. Highly important that you just surrender to the rules in order to get the most from the experience. Meditation isn’t easy as it looks externally but the impact that this course (24th May-4th June 2023) made on me was so rewarding. 10 days of silence, simple vegetarian food, beautiful surroundings and deep personal insight. Be happy!"

"Incredible, life-changing experience at a wonderful location. If you're considering trying the 10 day course, I can only recommend it. It's challenging but so worth it."
