We are afraid of death, we are afraid of separation, we are afraid of nothingness. But if we look deeply, we realize the incessant change of things and gradually lose our fear.
-Thich Nhat Hanh

Open Sky House near Cologne
Vipassana Island is a great opportunity to understand how your mind and body are operating and to meet yourself in a deep way.
Spend a whole weekend with yourself, sitting in silence in the supportive energy of a meditating group and the energy of the Open Sky House Community who has been practicing this unique form of Vipassana for over 15 years.
The Island consists of a chair, meditation cushion, a back jack, mattress and blankets. A loving helper team will bring you food and take care of your needs.
Instructions in English and German.
We made a short film of the first moment people open their eyes after 48h of sitting in meditation blindfolded.

– Buddha

Discover and connect with the deepest parts of yoursel
You will join a journey of two days of silence. This means no talking, no phones, and no distractions. By eliminating external stimuli, you can be able to focus your attention inward and explore the sensations of your body, the fluctuations of your mind and emotion, and the nature of your heart.
With the support of the energy of the group and the Open Sky House Community, you will go deeply into the practice. Based on the teachings of the Buddha, Vipassana aims to develop insight into the nature of reality and liberate oneself from suffering. By observing the impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and non-self of all experiences, you will cultivate equanimity and wisdom.
