In September 2017, a total of 25 people joined the first 10-day Vipassana course on Reunion Island. This is an overseas department of France, located in the Indian Ocean near Madagascar, Africa. The course site was a holiday center in the interior highlands. The neighboring island of Mauritius holds a 10-day course once a year.
