Vipassana Meditation Group Sitting
with Guillermina (Gina) Lahitte

A space of shared silence.

This sitting is open to old students only — those who have completed at least one 10-day Vipassana course in the tradition of S.N. Goenka. We sit together following Goenkaji's recorded instructions, just as we did on course.

There is something in the collective commitment to silence that deepens the work, steadies the mind, and reminds us that this practice, though deeply personal, is never truly walked alone.

And here, at 78° North, that stillness takes on a quality all its own. Whether under the perpetual midnight sun or the deep quiet of the polar night, Svalbard strips away the unnecessary with a particular kind of honesty. The wilderness outside mirrors the work happening within. Few places on Earth offer a more natural invitation to go inward.

Come as you are. Bring your practice.

Old students only — a completed 10-day residential Vipassana course is required to attend.
