The Noggin Hostage
from What Was That? · host Jessica Goodfellow
A light-hearted recounting of a 10-day silent meditation retreat gone awry in Scotland, where a mix of overhydration, rebellion, and eccentric fellow meditators led to a series of comically surreal and oddly formative experiences.Today I tell the tale of the ten day silent retreat where I nearly got kicked out for flashing. I then discuss how shortly after, I got high for the first time under very unusual circumstances. Both events enhanced my ability to be a good friend to myself, and to trust myself to find presence inside of distortion. This is a public episode.
