About this selection

Kerala is India's Ayurvedic heartland — where ancient science meets serious practice. Backwaters, spice gardens, and the most qualified Ayurvedic physicians in the world. Vipassana meditation in Kerala — often conducted in silence for 7–10 days — takes on additional depth in this setting. The retreat context removes the obstacles that urban life creates for sustained insight practice. October is one of Kerala's best months for retreat — Kerala's climate is at its most conducive to outdoor practice, the crowds are manageable, and teachers report that groups arriving in October tend to go deeper than at other times of year. It's a popular booking month, so plan ahead.
