I recently attended my third course and I echo the idea that Vipassana has made me a better activist (as well partner, friend, son, colleague, etc).
I like your recommendation to implement this at an organizational level. While it might not be practical for all orgs, I think it’s a neat idea to incentivize attendance (with the understanding that Vipassana might not be for everyone — though neither is a Project Management online course).
I also think the EA community is overrepresented on having attended at least one Vipassana course, compared to the general population; but that’s just a guess/speculation.
Yes I also think probably the EA community is doing more vipassana than the general population, but it is still, I assume, uncommon and is not supported in any structural way
Thanks for writing this! Well written :)
