I am planning on taking a 10 day course in California at the end of the month and was reading about other people's negative experiences and it made me a little bit apprehensive and hesitant about my decision. I am determined to complete the 10 days, and it is encouraging to read about people who have been through it and have found it to be rewarding. Thanks again.

I no longer live in Sugar Land, so I am not familiar with the local practice groups. You can look them up on the Vipassana website: http://dhamma.org by logging into the members area.

I had done Vipassana meditation course of 10 days in Igatpuri near Mumbai in year 2001. The benefits were excellent , it changed my orientation towards life. I hvae been doing meditation practice for very short duration since then as i am on consulting job and have been travelling alot. I am looking for a group , wherein i can join and continue my practice of longer duration ( 1- 2 hrs.) in Sugarland Area. Pls share the address and other details in Sugarland/Houston. Hi Rahul

A donation is by no means mandatory. If you feel like you received value from the program, then you can make a donation in any amount. There are no repercussions if you leave without making one. I wish you the best of luck on your 10 day journey. I'm confident you'll find it insightful and beneficial in many ways.

I did do a 10 day course, and yes it is totally safe there for women. 2. All women have their own room with a bathroom attached for privacy. 3. If you wanted to leave you would need to talk with the course manager about your concerns. I strongly recommend that you make the decision NOT to leave no matter what before attending the course, however. No matter how difficult it may be, it's important that you complete it. You'll understand the reasoning behind the procedure at the end of the course. 4. Bring sheets for a twin sized bed, definitely a blanket because it's going to be cold, and bring a couple of pillows so that you can meditate comfortably in your room. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact me directly using the contact form on my website. Nikki,

If so ,is it safe there specially for a girl? 2. Is the bedroom is for individual or for a group(by how many people)? 3. In the case I want to leave before complete the course ,what do I need to do or would happen? 3. What could I bring to the bedroom beside your clothes,blanket.?
