A DIY MEDITATION RETREAT: PREVIOUSLY HIDDEN TREASURES CAN EMERGE

摘要

Like so many traditions, the 18-day meditation retreat I attend each year at Spirit Rock Meditation Center was not to be in 2020. The retreat has become a touchstone for my partner and me. It’s a time to take a holiday from our daily routines and remember what’s truly important. I was not surprised by the cancellation, but I was disappointed. Then my partner had an idea. Why don’t we do our own retreat at home? Why not? We decided to do an 11-day silent meditation retreat, using my living room as the meditation space.
