I'm taking off shortly for New Plymouth, where I'll be hanging out with my friends from Te Ihi Tu, a Taranaki-based prison rehabilitation program (scroll down to #5). They teach Vipassana as the first step, and I'll be sitting the September 10th 10-day course with the new group of guys entering the program. The idea is to include members of the community in the courses (both sitting and serving), to show the guys that people in the "outside" world are also doing Vipassana.
