Silent Meditation Retreat Experience: What To Know & How to Find One | Spring Washam & Dan Harris

Spring Washam describes a silent meditation retreat experience. How do I stay quiet for days? Am I a bad meditator if I don’t go on a retreat? What do they entail? How do I find one? What’s the food like? In this episode we talk about:
- Whether or not you’re a bad meditator if you don’t go on a retreat
- What the specifics of a retreat entails
- How you stay silent for days on end
- And how to actually get into a meditation retreat
