Has anyone gone a multi-day meditation retreat? I have done daylongs, but am not sure how multi-day retreats will go. In particular, I'm concerned about working in morning / night bathroom routines.

I went to a week long retreat years ago. The focus wasn't necessarily on meditation but spirituality. Meditation was a big part of it but there were many other activities as well such as yoga, lectures, creative arts, etc. Changed my life spiritually. I'm PPS not SCI but I had little difficulty that I remember - have a plan and talk to the leadership about specifics before you go.

You know what.


This reminds me of those people who died in that sweat lodge.


Proverbs:1:30: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
Proverbs:1:31: Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
Proverbs:1:32: For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
Proverbs:1:33: But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.


Not current, I know, but I was just looking thru this old stuff and I can't believe that I missed this.

Ronnie - I didn't realize you were Jewish! You quote from the old law but seldom quote from the new.

Following the teachings of Jesus as found in the New Testament, retreats and times of solitude are encouraged - He set the example when He did them.
