** Unless noted otherwise, course instructions are given in the following language(s): English
Residential Vipassana meditation courses in this tradition have been held in rented facilities in the Adelaide area since the mid 1980s. Dhamma Ujjala, which means “bright or blazing Dhamma”, was purchased in December 2008. It is located in the pristine Clare Valley, one and three quarter hours north of Adelaide.
Due to high demand, multiple applications will not be processed. Please apply to sit only one 10-day course at a time.
All courses open at 7:30 pm (8:30 pm daylight savings time).
Vipassana courses successfully operate around the world because old students volunteer their time as servers. Occasionally, old students may be asked to serve a course and then receive priority for sitting at their next opportunity.

All courses are run solely on a donation basis. All expenses are met by donations from those who, having completed a course and experienced the benefits of Vipassana, wish to give others the same opportunity. Neither the Teacher nor the assistant teachers receive remuneration; they and those who serve the courses volunteer their time. Thus Vipassana is offered free from commercialisation.
Old students are those who have completed a 10-day Vipassana Meditation course with S.N. Goenka or his Assistant Teachers. Old students have the opportunity to provide Dhamma Service at the courses listed.
Bilingual courses are courses which are taught in two languages. All students will hear daily meditation instructions in both languages. The evening discourses will be heard separately.
Meditation courses are held at both center and non-center locations. Meditation centers are dedicated facilities where courses are held regularly throughout the year. Before meditation centers were established in this tradition, all courses were held at temporary sites, such as campgrounds, religious retreat centers, churches and the like. Today, in regions where centers have not yet been established by local students of Vipassana who live in the area, 10 Day meditation courses are held at non-center course sites.
10-day Courses are an introductory course to Vipassana Meditation where the technique is taught step-by-step each day. The courses begin after a 2 - 4 pm registration period and orientation, followed by 10 full days of meditation, and end the morning of the 11th day by 7:30 am.
