Contemplative fieldnotes: ‘Day retreat’ today - I’ll be working with a recording of a retreat led by Shinzen, from CML, w/ my main practice. I’ve done day/weekend retreats for years, keeps momentum up in between longer retreats. Highly recommend.

What’s a typical day retreat schedule look like for you?
- MED for me is ~12hr; pick a solid block of time and practice continuously - I take two/three one hour walks, I have a dog - No speaking, no contact if possible - 60 min blocks. - prepped meals help, I eat between 1200-2000 - Option for dharma talk lined up.

Retreat schedule/content changes, according to practice & advice. Yesterday I used:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKqJL3AroLc …

In general: - try it out, don't wait until you can do a longer retreat - if you're unsure or don't have a teacher, get advice from a reliable coach such as
@OortCloudAtlas, or by participating in something like: http://homepracticeprogram.com - set boundaries, stick to them - enjoy! - 1 more reply
