Olga delves into the essence of Vipassana meditation, offering an insightful overview of what this ancient technique entails. She shares her experiences from attending multiple 10-day Vipassana courses, recounting memorable anecdotes and the profound impact her daily practice has had on her life. Throughout the conversation, Olga provides practical advice for both newcomers and seasoned meditators, highlighting how Vipassana can foster personal growth and inner peace.

Courses at Vipassana centres are offered completely free to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent anyone from learning and practicing the technique. This approach aligns with the tradition that Vipassana is a universal remedy for human suffering, which should be accessible to all, regardless of their financial situation. The courses are funded entirely by voluntary donations from individuals who have completed a course, experienced its benefits, and wish to give others the same opportunity.
