Since the start of the COVID-19 situation, the Buddhavipassana Meditation Centre in Toronto has been closed to the public for periods of several months at a time. As the situation improved, some returning students asked to undertake retreats and we gladly welcomed them one at a time.
Although the situation appears to be improving in Toronto, we are currently maintaining a restriction of 25% capacity which means that we are still only able to accommodate one student at a time. We will continue to observe this restriction until further notice.
This has required some other changes. Firstly, weekend courses are not feasible at least until we can gather in larger numbers so courses must be undertaken for a minimum length of 15 days for new students or 10 days for students who have completed the 15 day basic course.
Secondly, because of the changing situation, we are not able to offer bookings online, so we invite interested students to contact us by email to info@buddhavipassana.ca.
At this time we would like to invite you to contact us if you are interested in booking a 15-day basic course or, for students who have completed the basic course, a 10-day retreat, during the period from November 30 to December 15. Please contact us at info@buddhavipassana.ca. The cost for courses will be by donation with a refundable deposit to reserve your place.
