202 - What we learned in 10 days of silent solitude

Fri, 10 Dec 2021 08:00:00 +1100

Both of us had been wanting to get out to Vipassana for our first 10 day sit for a long time. We wrap up our experience of 100 hours of mediation in 10 days of silence. Unending thanks to Vipassana and Buddha, Dhamm Bhummi and Dhamma Passasda for hosting and giving us such a life-changing experience. Our lives can pretty much be summed up to, before Vipassana, and, after Vipassana. We are both about to embark on our second 10 day so please reach out if you have any questions or if this brings up anything for you.
