      Wow, it wasn't my intention to sell it or not sell it, just give my own experience, but I'm glad you now want to do it 😁

    I could've never imagined doing something like this, but having watched your video I would genuinely love to do one! Thank you for the inspiration🙌🏼

      I am so happy that this video has made you want to do one, as you can tell, I couldn't recommend it more so long as you have some mental preparation for it. Good luck!

    I’ve always thought about doing a silent retreat but I’d be nervous to do it for 10 days!!! I know it would be so worth it just from the mental clarity and inner peace that happens as a result of taking away all distractions. Loved hearing your experience and it’s amazing you made it through the whole 10 days!!

    Hmmm, maybe a 1 day silent retreat before 10 😦

      You can start with a 3 day one, there's still loads to gain from that, mostly clearness of mind and dopamine detox. Enjoy 😉
