Vipassanā is a practice of learning to see experience more clearly. We begin by developing stability and sensitivity to what is happening in the body and mind. Over time, practice can reveal the patterns through which we construct ourselves and our world — and allow us to hold them more lightly.
Stability
Developing steady, embodied attention and awareness.
Clarity
Noticing experience with increasing vividness and clarity.
Insight
Seeing through identification, separation and reactivity.

“I’ve become calmer and far more aware. I realise I can pause before I react. This has been life-changing for me.”

“For those who work, and for seniors like myself who are less able to participate in a retreat, this is a good alternative—and definitely a good starting point and preparation for a retreat experience.”
Kurt P.
“I now meditate consistently twice a day for about 40 minutes … and am more equanimous and mindful off the cushion.”

About the Teacher
Reimar Wen Shen is a German-Singaporean meditation teacher and founder of Vipassana at Home. He has practised Vipassanā for over a decade and taught since 2021.
His path has included many intensive retreats in the Goenka tradition, extensive practice of Mahāsi noting in Thailand, and four months of monastic training with Ajahn Puttar at Wat Sopharam in Northern Thailand, where he was authorised to teach. He continues to deepen his practice and teaching through contemporary non-dual approaches with Michael Taft.
Before teaching meditation, Reimar studied economics and worked in investment management at Vanguard—an unlikely background that continues to shape his practical and systematic approach to meditation.
Today, his teaching also draws from somatic practice, movement and martial arts, as well as the life practice of being a father.
Words from the Community
“I’m less reactive and more present in my body and my life.”
Working with Reimar and the Vipassana practice itself have changed me and how I am in the world. I’m less reactive and more present in my body and my life.
Things no longer have to go well because I’m better at being with what is.

“Unhurried, reflective, valuing words and silence.”
I admire Reimar’s ability to be open to learn from his students, to be in a listening posture with deep respect.
I enjoy the pace of our time together — unhurried, reflective, valuing words and silence.

“More of a space for self-discovery than a direction.”
Reimar is a clear and welcoming guide, fluid and patient — a guide who is more of a space for self-discovery than a direction.
Each time we meet I feel he is truly there for me with kindness and calmness, creating the conditions for my progress.
