If I decide to do this while in Texas (either before I leave or while I’m here visiting), this looks like an interesting place to take such a retreat: http://siddhayatan.org

Even though I’m not aiming to do this for another year or so, I’ve started looking up places just to have a few names in mind… especially since spaces seem to get booked up pretty quickly.
The Mount Street Jesuit Centre is in Central London so it would be really convenient to just go down for a weekend. Ideally though, I’d love to go somewhere more rural, like St. Beuno’s in North Wales, but obviously that’s a bit harder to get to.

....it wasn’t that I was able to meditate suddenly or clear my mind to allow the other stuff to flow through, but I understood why other people do it and how it could benefit me. If I hadn’t done it, I never would have understood. I am now about to book onto a beginners meditation course. It’s not easy, but its worth it! 2 years ago

I used to do this – as an intention and it was lost for years until I just saw it here.

thank you for allowing me to find this! 22 months ago

I’d LOVE to be able to do this very soon, but realistically, without a car, I’m limited on where I am able to go. At one point, and even still recently, I didn’t ever plan on having a car, but more recently, I have kind of thought that I’d like to own one…but not for use around town. I have my bicycle for that and it serves me quite well.

I’d like to have one for use a few times a month for hiking and for times like this…when I’d actually need to get somewhere that does require the use of a private vehicle.

I’d like to do this in the next 3 years…Ideally about 18 months from now, as I’d actually have vacation at my current job and I’d feel more secure about leaving for 3-5 days.

I’ve been doing research in small bits, so I have kind of a tentative plan…but nothing definite yet. More to come as I dream and plan. :-) 23 months ago
