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
Vipassana invites us to become familiar with our lived moment-to-moment experience. The mystery of what it is like to be You.
And we embark on a fascinating journey of unifying what has become fragmented - our attention. And softening and opening what has become rigid and separate - our Body-Mind.
What remains is simpler than expected:
Open, Alive, Aware.
A Timeless Practice
Vipassana is a meditation practice dating back over 2,500 years to the time of Gautama Buddha, who used it as a path to awakening. While rooted in Buddhist traditions, it can also be understood as an experiential science of consciousness — which is why it continues to resonate widely today.
Our Approach
There are many different Vipassana traditions. The approach we share is the Noting technique with an emphasis on Open Awareness. While Sitting meditation remains the core, we also explore in the Standing and Walking postures - a bridge to everyday experience.
A gradual Awakening
Innate Happiness

Improve Relationships

Your Facilitator
Reimar is a meditation teacher, dance facilitator, and father, currently based in Portugal, with over five years of teaching experience.
He began practicing meditation during his studies at Melbourne University, where he discovered Vipassana as a way to transform his relationship to stress, anxiety, and a lifelong struggle with eczema.
Experiencing its benefits early on, he committed to daily practice and intensive silent retreats in the tradition of S. N. Goenka, while working full-time at Vanguard.
He later moved to Thailand to deepen his practice, training in the Ajahn Tong-style Mahasi method. During this time, he completed multiple 12- and 16-day retreats, including intensive day-and-night meditation periods.
Reimar trained for four months under Ajahn Puttar at Wat Sopharam monastery in Northern Thailand, where he was authorised to teach. In total, he has spent over 30 weeks in intensive silent retreat.
His work is grounded in meditation, somatic, and artistic practice, including dance improvisation and martial arts.
He continues to refine his understanding, currently studying non-dual Vipassana with Michael Taft.
In 2021, he founded vipassanathome.org, where he offers online courses and in-person retreats, sharing a balanced and integrated approach to meditation and life.
