The Kenya Vipassana Association is one of numerous centers and non-center sites worldwide offering courses in Vipassana Meditation, taught by S.N.Goenka and his assistant teachers in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin

The courses are held at the Adolph Kolping Centre which is located about 10 km away from the center of Nairobi City and around 40 minutes car-ride from the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.  The center is situated opposite the Nairobi National Park and Bomas of Kenya Cultural Center, in a serene and quiet environment.  It has 28 double rooms with self-contained bathrooms which can comfortably accommodate around a total of 50 students.   

Approximately three 10-day courses are offered in Kenya each year, along with 3-day courses and children and teenagers 1-day course.  The courses are conducted in English and Kiswahili.  Approximately 120  students from around East Africa complete our courses annually. 

There is now a growing community of Vipassana meditators living in Nairobi who have given invaluable Dhamma service to the running of courses as well as establishing outreach activities amongst local communities.  Future plans for the acquisition of land for the construction of a permanent center are underway which would make Kenya the second Dhamma center after Dhamma Pataka in South Africa.
