Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. It was taught in India more than 2500 years ago as a universal remedy for universal ills, i.e., an Art of Living. For those who are not familiar with Vipassana Meditation, an Introduction to Vipassana by Mr. Goenka & related videos and Questions & Answers about Vipassana are available.
The technique of Vipassana Meditation is taught at ten-day residential courses during which participants learn the basics of the method, and practice sufficiently to experience its beneficial results.

Vipassana Meditation Courses in British Columbia
Meditation courses are held at both centres and non-centre locations. Meditation centres are a dedicated facilities where courses are held regularly throughout the year. Before Meditation Centres were established in this tradition, all courses were held at temporary sites, such as campgrounds, religious retreat centres, churches and the like. Today, in regions where Centres have not yet been established by local students of Vipassana who live in the area, 10 Day meditation courses are still held at temporary non-centre course sites.
Dhamma Modana, Lake Cowichan, British Columbia, Canada
Centre Location: Website | Map
Vancouver Island is a large island off the west coast of British Columbia, north of Seattle and west of Vancouver. After much searching, a lovely 137 acre property was purchased in July, 2006 in the Cowichan Valley.
Our teacher, S. N. Goenka, named the site "Dhamma Modana". In the Pali language spoken by the Buddha, this means "Joy of Dhamma".
The property is located within walking distance of the Town of Lake Cowichan which is a 20 minutes drive from Duncan, B.C.

BACKGROUND
A forested and secluded 137 acre property in the Cowichan Valley was purchased in July 2006 as the site for the development of a Vipassana meditation centre. S.N. Goenka, the Principal Teacher, named the prospective centre Dhamma Modana, which means Joy of Dhamma.
The purchase of Dhamma Modana was made possible by a donation from a Vipassana meditator who wished to support the establishment of a meditation centre on the Island. British Columbia is fortunate in having a dedicated Vipassana centre, Dhamma Surabhi in Merritt. The Vancouver Island Vipassana Association (VIVA) was formed to proceed with building the second BC centre in Lake Cowichan, to serve the greater population areas of Vancouver, Victoria and Western Canada.
THE VISION
VIVA has been active organizing the myriad of details necessary for the development of a new centre, including the application to the regional authority (Cowichan Valley Regional District) for the rezoning of 13 acres of the property's northeast corner to allow for public assembly. We are heartened by the enthusiasm and strong support from our neighbors in Lake Cowichan and Duncan. Businesses and individuals submitted over 100 letters of support for the rezoning application to the Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD).
The successful rezoning allows us to build a meditation centre which can accommodate 75 people, along with a caretaker’s residence.
Dhamma Modana is currently offering one day courses for old students. At present, we do not have the facilities to offer 10-day courses at Dhamma Modana. Occasionally we rent a facility to offer a ten-day course on Vancouver Island.
Fritz Perls, Gestalt Therapy had such a place there... i wonder if this is the same facility....
Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands seem to have many retreats like this one quietly going about their business.
