Christopher::: I see that there is a Japanese Vipassana Association which offers retreats in two centres. Do you know anything of these ?

There are a few around the country (japan vipassana), none that i am aware of down here near my city. The past few months Joseph Goldstein's dhamma talks have been extremely helpful.

You can check out some of Goldstein's talks recommended in this discussion, and also search dharma seed. They have talks available from a lot of teachers....
