Vipassanā (विपश्यना), meaning “clear-seeing” or “in-sight,” is a meditation technique that develops profound awareness of the present moment. It is also known as Insight Meditation, a practice that helps cultivate clarity, calm, and a deep trust in our experience.

Vipassana is a meditation practice and grows into an art of living

The Vipassana technique teaches us to observe our inner experience.

The Mind & Body.

Instead of struggling, resisting, or trying to change the outside, we learn to rest into a calm, clear, open awareness of whats happening inside. 

What creates suffering or dissatisfaction in our lives comes primarily from blind, unconscious reactions to our inner experience.

A Timeless Practice
Vipassana is the meditation technique that the Buddha practiced over 2,500 years ago to attain his awakening. While traditionally practiced in Buddhist contexts, it is a scientifically rigorous and non-sectarian practice, which has led to its widespread popularity in the West today.

Our Tradition
There are many different Vipassana traditions. The tradition we practice and teach you in is that of the Mahasi Sayadaw lineage - the Noting technique and it is practiced in Walking and Sitting meditation.

Your Facilitator

reimar wen shen

Reimar is a meditation teacher, dancer and new father based in Sintra, Portugal.

His journey with meditation began during his studies at Melbourne University, Australia, where he discovered Vipassana to transform his relationship to stress, anxiety, and a lifelong struggle with eczema.

Experiencing profound benefits early on, he committed to a daily practice and intensive silent retreats in the tradition of S.N. Goenka—while working full-time at Vanguard Investments.

During COVID, Reimar moved to Thailand to deepen his meditation practice and discovered the Ajahn Tong-style Mahasi method. At the same time, he immersed himself in embodied arts such as Contact Improvisation, OceanDance, Butoh and Aikido.

He trained for four months under teacher, Ajahn Puttar, at Wat Sopharam monastery in Northern Thailand and has cumulatively spent over 30 weeks in intensive silent retreat.

His approach to Meditation is characterised by his Somatic practice, living in Community, and closeness with Nature. Integrating the spiritual with the human, the primal, and grounded in daily family life. 

Believing in sharing a balanced and fully integrated approach to meditation and life, he founded vipassanathome.org in 2021.

Reimar's approach to teaching is a delicate balance of teaching meditation and guiding through sharing of experiences and knowledge.  I admire his 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.  Undoubtedly my meditation practice has evolved and moreso my willingness to allow what I experience in meditation to permeate my daily life.
