100 Hours of Meditation in 10 Days - It Can Be Done

On January 1, 2020, I sat for a 10-day silent Vipassana meditation course in Merritt, British Columbia and survived to tell the tale.

Hear all about the experience and what I learned in this podcast.

  • How much it costs/why it’s completely free and donation-based

  • Why I felt like it was time to go
