    Pian dei Ciliegi

    Vipassana Meditation Center

    UPDATES

    The centre has reopened on March 28, 2025 with Andrea Huber's retreat ending on April 4 when the second intensive Satipatthana Vipassana retreat led by Gautam Verma will start.

    There are still places left for the retreat lead by Ven. Virañani from 7 to 28 May 2025, a unique opportunity to participate in a Mettā retreat of this duration with a so experienced and compassionate teacher. There are also still places left for the retreat for Bhante Gavesi's retreat from 13 to 28 June 2025, who for the second year has chosen our centre for one of his retreats in Europe. It’s now possible to register for only 10 days retreat.

    On March 28, 2025, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, with Mandalay at the epicenter, destroying homes, schools, and entire communities in seconds. Thousands of families have been displaced, struggling to survive without shelter, food, or medical care. With already limited resources due to ongoing conflict, this disaster has made an already dire situation even worse.

    The organization ‘Better Burma’, already active in the area and working to help local people, has launched a collection of donations to support survivors. Please take a look at this link: https://gofund.me/2d4fcbcf
