Vipassana Weekend at Maison Mudita

The source sets out the full-weekend commitment, arrival window, costs and practical preparation clearly, making it easier to understand the retreat before registering.

Meditation, silence and a shared residential rhythm from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. Arrive between 17:00 and 19:00 on Friday; the retreat begins at 19:00 with a light meal and ends around 16:30 on Sunday.

The CHF 140 fee covers accommodation, transport and organisation costs, plus the cook’s salary; teacher dana is offered separately on site. Bring bed linen or rent it for CHF 15, as well as indoor and walking shoes, weather layers, towels and an alarm clock. The live French registration form asks about meditation experience, health, medication and dietary needs. Cancellations are fully refunded up to 15 days before the retreat, half refunded 14–7 days before, and non-refundable less than 7 days before.

Adriana Orellana de Rickebusch guides a residential weekend of Vipassana meditation and periods of silence at Maison Mudita in Abländschen. The retreat offers a structured setting for meeting present experience with steadiness and care.
