Vipassana - France

Dhamma Mahi, France

10 days of silence. No phone, no eye contact, no talking. Just you and your mind. The first course broke something open - showed me how much noise I was carrying without realizing it.

The Decision

I'd heard about Vipassana for years. 10 days of silence sounded impossible. That's exactly why I had to do it.

The Experience

  • 4am wake up every day
  • 10+ hours of meditation
  • No talking, no eye contact, no phone
  • Simple vegetarian food
  • Just you and your mind

    • What Broke Open

    I didn't realize how much noise I was carrying. Constant mental chatter I'd learned to ignore. The silence made it impossible to hide.

    After

    Something shifted. Hard to put into words. But the practice stuck. Still sitting daily.
