RE: A Week of Silence in Bali

Good to see there are still interesting people doing interesting things here. I have a few friends who’ve joined similar, Vipassana retreats.
I’m not sure I want to put myself through the sitting in place but a few days of silence with no distractions would be interesting! Living in a place where I didn’t speak the language and no one paid attention to me definitely let me see each person as they are without any distractions I could see any kind of behavior I didn’t like as either their scars or mine.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you, I really appreciate it.
I think that’s exactly what made the retreat meaningful for me too, removing distractions changes the way you see people, and also yourself.
To be honest, the sitting part was difficult for me too, but after a while the discomfort became part of the experience. Haha.
I know it’s not the same but I’d love a week of disciplined silence with no distractions. I’d spend 6 hours a day doing yoga, walking meditation and exercise and 6 hours a day on guitar.
