Биографии и Мемуары

Я чувствую потребность написать эту историю. Сделать обзор, разложить опыт по полочкам и поделиться пережитым. Не знаю, будет ли это полезно кому-то кроме меня, но надеюсь на это. Я не первый и не последний посетитель ретритов, которые проходят в тишине и уединении. Поэтому я не буду говорить академическим языком и рассказывать кучу деталей и мучать читателей подробностями техник. Я предлагаю просто прожить этот опыт вместе со мной. Расскажу, как это было, а выводы делайте сами. Поехали!
