A 4-Year Silent Meditation Retreat, Pt. 3: Levels of Unwinding

In November 2009, Bill and Susan Morgan, a couple from Boston, began what would become a four-year silent meditation retreat at the Forest Refuge, the Insight Meditation Society's center for experienced meditators seeking longer-term retreat practice. In this series of seven videos, Bill and Susan look back on their experiences at the Forest Refuge, sharing how they came to the idea to commit to such a prolonged period of practice, the challenges they faced along the way, and several profound insights they gleaned both about themselves as individuals, and as a couple, practicing side-by-side every day, without speaking, for four years.

My husband and I remember sitting with you at the table for the main meal. We noticed the ritual you had of eating together and getting up together. You both had a powerful impact on us. It is gratifying to hear you speak of your 4 yrs.
