Thanks for your essay and I appreciated listening to it and your voice. I find the idea of a 12 year ( or even 3 year) solitary cave retreat as challenging to fathom. I cannot imagine what impact that has on one and what the value and benefit is. It is interesting to me and I don't know much about that at all. I appreciate the lesson in this essay and have taken it in for my growth.
Yes, such a long time alone seems quite daunting, doesn't it? But I hope you'll try a one hour retreat, if you haven't already -- even just a short time without devices or talking can steady the mind and bring compassion to your heart. Glad you're here 💜
Ah yes of course. I do KNOW the value of retreating and I agree with you...learn to BE without technology. It's the years long retreat process I find fascinating I'm at retreatcoaches.com thanks for the reply. I always get value from your posts.
It’s incredible how much shifts when I stop running away from my discomfort and just take a break to open up to it. 95% of the time, it was the inward cringing that *made* it unpleasant. In many of those cases, the actual physical sensation is pure bliss that I was just too scared to feel because of context.

Totally wild.
It's quite a relief to stop -- but sometimes scary too. Glad for your practice, Geoffe.
