Silent, solitary retreat is a technique utilized by serious Buddhist practitioners to make immense progress quickly. It includes not speaking or communicating at all with other people, only reciting mantra and practicing meditation multiple times a day: no cell phone, no music, no books, nothing except meditating on the cushion or off the cushion. Join Rachel just after she breaks silence to learn about her experiences in retreat, and get the opportunity to ask her any questions you have about retreat and serious practice. Join us afterwards for an hour of soup and cozy conversation.
