Am I a bad meditator if I don't go on a retreat? What do they entail? How do I stay silent for days on end? How do I get into one? What's the food like?

Spring Washam is the author of two books, A Fierce Heart: Finding Strength, Courage and Wisdom in Any Moment and The Spirit of Harriet Tubman: Awakening from the Underground. She is also one of the founding teachers at the East Bay Meditation Center and is the founder of Lotus Vine Journeys, a one-of-a-kind organization that blends indigenous healing practices with Buddhist wisdom for transformative retreats in South America.


In this episode we talk about:

  • Whether or not you're a bad meditator if you don't go on a retreat
  • What the specifics of a retreat entails
  • How you stay silent for days on end
  • And how to actually get into a meditation retreat
