Taking Meditation To The Next Level

[cactus]

Hi.

I want to take my meditation to the next level this summer and want to replace my vacation with a visit to a meditation centre. I want to learn new meditation techniques and meet people who are very experienced in meditation. I looked up Osho International meditation centre. It seemed compelling, but there was some reviews on the internet that it wasn't that great.

Does anyone have other options or experience with this?

Hi @cactus, how about a 10 day Vipassana meditation retreat as taught by S. N. Goenka? It is a pretty challenging undertaking, but in my opinion if one is ready for it and will persevere, it will change their life.

Like @Jan Odvarko said, S.N. Goenka's 10 day Vipassana retreats are what I've heard the most positive reviews of. They are free, they provide food, and Vipassana meditation is speculated to be the one used by Buddha himself. If I were to do a retreat, I would do this one.
