7-Day Silent Meditation Retreat: Recap

from The Art of Shame-Free Living · host Crystal Haitsma

Dive into how a 7-day silent meditation retreat completely transformed my understanding of meditation. What began as a structured practice for calm and focus evolved into a deeper, more spiritual experience—one that revealed meditation as a path back to stillness, presence, and inner connection.I share reflections from the retreat, including the practice of noble silence, the gentle teachings of meditation teacher Thomas McConkie, and how stillness itself can become a source of healing. This episode invites you to see meditation not as a routine, but as a living practice of awareness and compassion.
