I absolutely love that you stuck it out Amber, I'm not sure I could have! What an amazing experience to reflect on and find another level.

Thanks Louise! I am SO GLAD I did it on this side of the journey. It was bearable at least! For many I think it feels unbearable and a lot like torture. I’ve had that experience a plenty though. Just in the privacy of my own home😆

Oh yes I think a lot of people underestimate what it takes and also the purpose of it. Same, I often find myself thinking I could go through anything now, not that I invite any more!

Thank you. I’m glad these words reached you. I appreciate it’s very long but I felt like there was a takeaway for each reader, no matter how seemingly small 💙

This sounds like a wonderful experience. I have been on a 10 day silent retreat before but not vipassna. Look forward to hearing more about your experiences 💜

I did wonder if you’d ever done one! A 10 day silent retreat though - even if not vipassana - wow! You need to tell me about that one day, I’d love to hear of that experience. Or maybe write of it yourself?

Yes that is a good idea. It was many years ago now so will start recollecting!
