My Honest Thoughts On Silent Meditation Retreats

My Honest Thoughts On Silent Meditation Retreats

Have you been curious about doing a 10-day silent meditation retreat?

It sounds intense, yet life-changing…

No talking. No scrolling. 10 hours a day of meditation.

What could be more powerful than that?

Well, in this week’s episode of The Spiritual Perspective, I’ll share my honest thoughts on whether a silent meditation retreat is a good place to start—

Especially if you’re thinking of signing up for one as your onramp to meditation.

Here’s what you’ll take away:

• Why it may only benefit certain people

• Who those kinds of retreats are truly designed for

• Why it’s not as cheap as it initially sounds

• Why many people desire to abandon the retreat after a few days

• The true sign of whether any meditation retreat is effective

• Alternative approaches to meditation that may work better

See my thoughts here. 

If you’ve been to a silent retreat before, I’m curious to hear if your experience matches my analysis.

Let me know in the comments of the video.
