It is our custom to provide an opportunity for someone who has recently completed a significant retreat to “think out loud” about the experience, as sharing important insights helps that person integrate what was learned and informs those listening about the benefits of the immersive training experience.  Mitch attended a BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) retreat at the Shelbourne Falls retreat center in Massachusetts, following the teachings of S. N. Goenka, an internationally important teacher of mindfulness meditation.  Mitch provides a review of how the retreat operates as well as how it has benefited his own practice.  His comments were followed by questions and comments from those attending.
