I will be signing up for one in September to take in Dec. It will be a full ten days of straight meditation 10 hours per day. No cell phones. No television. No internet. No talking. I view Vispassana as a detox of the mind. In popular culture, doing detox for the body is very trendy. Most people do not realize that our minds need a detox as well. We live in a society that provides so much distraction that we have lost touch with ourselves. We've become so accustomed with constant distraction that we can barely fathom the idea of sitting alone by ourselves with only our thoughts for an hour.
I'm hoping by taking this course I will be become more aware of negative thoughts and emotions as they arise.

For anyone interested in what Vipassana check out the following videos;

Yes I hear u on the family aspect . My girl doesn't like it but she know it's something I feel needs to be done.
If you arent accustomed to meditating for long hours I would recommend the weekend retreat. That should build you up for one day going the to the 10 day vipassana
