I've been MIA for a while, on a 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat. It was fantastic, and exactly what I needed, but I don't have the time or the energy to go into a description of it now. Instead, you can read my description of the retreat I did 5 years ago in Kenya here.

For more information on Vipassana, including retreats nearby you (you'd be surprised), visit the website:
