A 3-Day Silent Meditation Retreat: Not What I Wanted, But What I Needed

A 3-Day Silent Meditation Retreat: Not What I Wanted, But What I Needed

I stepped into the unknown and signed up for a three-day silent meditation retreat. Since I enjoy spending time alone and am very comfortable with silence, I figured it would be a piece of cake. And in that silence while sitting cross-legged on a comfy cushion on the floor, I’d have an epiphany (maybe two!) and walk away a changed person. Is this how it unfolded for me? Of course not.
