Meditation retreats are the object of much intrigue and even suspicion. So today, we're going to take you inside a 10-day silent meditation retreat that Dan recently did with his teacher, Joseph Goldstein. You'll also hear from Senior Producer, Marissa Schneiderman, who was fresh off a retreat of her own, with meditation teachers Alexis Santos and Andrea Fella.


In this episode we talk about:

  • The ups and downs of retreats
  • Some famous Buddhist listicles, including the five hindrances
  • The importance of repetition
  • We'll hear snippets of Joseph answering Dan's questions
  • We find out what "cowboy dharma" is
  • What it feels like to wear shit colored glasses
  • How to stop getting caught in a mind trap
  • And lastly, we listen to voicemails and answer audience questions!
