    Hey! I was considering going, but im really nervous about being physically able to sit for that long without my legs cramping up. Can you bring your own extra pillows?

    • @brownexpats

      Hi 👋 Yes we were nervous about that too before we went. We are allowed to bring extra pillows/blankets or even a meditation stool.

    Up to 6 students per room? That must be a quite a challenge during the more difficult days.

    • @brownexpats
      @brownexpats  Рік тому +1

      Hey yeah definitely different experience, especially as all of us were observing noble silence.
      But I would say after the initial day we found it easy, and it was nice being around fellow students taking the course
      Incase not seen already, we talk more about our experience in another video if interested to know more:

      @@brownexpats Thank you, I will have a look.
      My only courses I completed so far, took place at Dhamma dipa in Hereford, so I was curious about Suffolk.

    Thank you for your video. Appriciate the details. Are you able to contact your loved ones at home to ensure everything is fine?

    • @brownexpats
      @brownexpats  10 місяців тому

      Hi 👋 your loved ones will be able to contact the centre during your course in the case of any emergencies and be able to speak to you via them. However you will not be able to make the call as you’d have taken the vow of silence and handed in your phone on the first day of the course. Hope this helps! 😊

    Hi I am smieetaa from India, visiting my dter's family. They live at Warwick. I am here until March end. I wish to undergo the vipasana meditation course during my stay here. Could you please guide me

    • @brownexpats

      Hi Smieetaa
      In UK there are 2 centres Dhamma Dipa ( www.dhamma.org/en/schedules/schdipa )
      and Dhamma Sukhakari (www.dhamma.org/en/schedules/schsukhakari)
      Dhamma Dipa is probably closest to you, but not sure about availability, best to check the above websites or contact them directly.
      Hope that helps, and hope you have a pleasant trip !

    Did you have any issues sleeping as you had to share a room with others?
    Also assume that you are not allowed to use a hairdryer?

    • @brownexpats
      @brownexpats  2 роки тому +1

      Hi there 👋
      Happy to say we had no issues as our room mates were very respectful and considerate of each other. We had some time on the first day to connect before we took our vow of silence (so no awkwardness).
      I did notice some people brought hairdryers but never saw anyone using them. Since they are very noisy and we were being mindful of maintaining silence I’m guessing people didn’t feel comfortable using them.
      Hope this helps!
