My guess is that it was one of courses taught by S.N. Goenka.

Please note that there are strong feelings about the way that his courses are taught (both positive and negative). I encourage you to investigate fully before committing. That said, many people have found his 10-day course to be very useful (I haven't participated in it).

One final side note, there are other groups that offer vipassana retreats, and they're usually in the $1500 range for a 10-day retreat.
