I finally went on another Meditation retreat. Last month I spent 4 glorious days near Woodstock. I met some really wonderful people and the retreat was meditation + Buddhist teachings. It was my very late summer vacation. I loved every second I was there. The hard part of course is leaving the retreat and re-entering the “real world”. I have been much better about my practice since returning but I am still working on integrating my body, mind and soul and practice the Buddhist philosphy. I made several paintings about the retreat and sold them on the internet. My next ” vacation” will hopefully be a volunteer type vacation where I can practice seva (service).
