If you ask Google you will end up with a definition looking like: Vipassanā or vipaśyanā, is prajñā “insight into the true nature of reality”, defined as dukkha “suffering, unsatisfactoriness”, anatta “non-self”, and anicca “impermanence”, the three marks of existence in the Theravada tradition, and as śūnyatā “emptiness” and Buddha-nature in the Mahayana traditions.

My personal feedback
It was definitely a great experience. I recommend anyone who has the chance of taking a few days off to try any retreat. Newbies and experienced meditators are welcome in those centers.
It’s good to get people to help you better understand the principles behind the meditation. Some may feel the time passing too slow. Personally, I really enjoyed taking time outside our daily routine. No email, no what’s app, no stimulus …
