Dhamma Ketana
Dhamma Ketana, meaning “Symbol of Dhamma,” is the first Vipassana meditation centre established in Kerala. It is situated on an idyllic, semi-forested 5-acre plot that opens into paddy fields and coconut groves at the rear. The centre is nestled in a rural setting, far from the noise and hustle of city life. The centre is well connected by road and rail, with the nearest railway station - Chengannur - located 8 kilometres away. The nearest airports in Kochi and Trivandrum are approximately three hours drive.

10-Day
Satipatthana Sutta
Satipatthana Sutta Courses have the same timetable and discipline as 10-day courses. The difference is that in the taped evening discourses the Satipatthana Sutta is carefully examined. This is the principal text in which the technique of Vipassana is systematically explained. These courses are open to serious old students who have sat (not including courses served) at least three 10-day courses, have not been practising any other meditation techniques since last 10-day course, have been practising this technique of Vipassana for at least one year, and who are trying to maintain their meditation practice and the five precepts in their daily lives, at the very minimum from the time of applying to the course.
