    I’ve been to a silent retreat in Portugal that was much harsh. 10 days, no talkings, no readings, no phones, 9 hours meditation combined, staff not allowed to talk to us, After 10 days I was a new person. Changed my life!

  3. @miasmadmoments on September 6, 2024 at 4:10 pm

    So proud of you Ben!! What was the retreat called and how much did it cost?

  4. @janinesuter3630 on September 6, 2024 at 4:10 pm

    How much does this retreat cost?

  5. @neeraj9488 on September 6, 2024 at 4:10 pm

    Do not run madly behind money. Satisfaction is the treasure

  6. @arasinwv on September 6, 2024 at 4:10 pm

    Just found your videos, and I’ve been binging them. Love the stories and the aesthetic.

  7. @mikeaguero2875 on September 6, 2024 at 4:13 pm

    Can you go live while there

  8. @itsfarrahbe on September 6, 2024 at 4:13 pm

  11. @chonesman123 on September 6, 2024 at 4:26 pm

    Can we get an update? did it change your life?

  12. @Jonathan-Hunt on September 6, 2024 at 4:26 pm

    I really do wish I could do something like this. I need to deal with stress and this seems like a great way to do that. But this seems like an incredible experience. Happy you got to experience it.

  13. @bingojawo6328 on September 6, 2024 at 4:27 pm

    Video nya bikin uang

  14. @JavierBonillaC on September 6, 2024 at 4:28 pm

    I can do anything, except reading a book by Deepak Chopra. I’d be afraid to loose half my brain.

  15. @nathananderson8720 on September 6, 2024 at 4:31 pm

    This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my YouTube channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,572 subs and > 1,000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

  16. @metalfuryskulls on September 6, 2024 at 4:32 pm

    For the viewer, it’s great you’ve been able to share all this. However, don’t you feel all the talking and camera work defeats the point of the silent retreat?

  17. @sameerhinduja7357 on September 6, 2024 at 4:32 pm

    Hey there. Can I do a one day version of this ? 7 days and 10 days seem too long for me

  18. @PracticerOfMetta on September 6, 2024 at 4:32 pm

    Very nice video thank you. I couldn’t help but think maybe in the future you can do it again but without creating a video so that you do the retreat as it is intended? None of my business just a thought I had. Thank you for the video.

    May you be free from hostility, danger, mental, physical, and spiritual suffering. May all beings, seen and unseen, in all realms and planes of existence bless you. May all beings feel inner peace and happiness.

    Doing a week of silent retreat is tough for a first time experience. Really interesting. Thanks for posting.

  20. @keivon9171 on September 6, 2024 at 4:34 pm

  21. @ivanafityoga9641 on September 6, 2024 at 4:35 pm

  22. @bernardwangg on September 6, 2024 at 4:37 pm

  23. @HaneiKamisama on September 6, 2024 at 4:38 pm

    Am there right now

  24. @cheezyfish on September 6, 2024 at 4:39 pm

    I dont know if this will be seen being years after post but does anyone know about something like a year long buddhist retreat?

  25. @cywizx on September 6, 2024 at 4:40 pm

    What silent meditation…you are talking all the time and documenting this !!

  26. @Vbg404 on September 6, 2024 at 4:40 pm

    Looks amazing, we are all too addicted and reliant on our devices. I think I want to try this too. 🤔

  27. @nagodio on September 6, 2024 at 4:41 pm

    Rather do this then the 10day Vipassana one.

  28. @user-nt8ph1ot5j on September 6, 2024 at 4:41 pm

    Nice body❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰

  29. @Amara-Dale on September 6, 2024 at 4:43 pm

    Absolutely Amazing!! Cannot Wait for The Moving House Vid !! ️

  30. @LifewithJosh21 on September 6, 2024 at 4:43 pm

    If been looking to do something like this for so long

  31. @TheYugoKiller on September 6, 2024 at 4:43 pm

    Great Video, when I heard about the idea of a silent retreat, I immediately found it horrific, boring and when I started watching this video, I suddenly became stressed from watching. I just thought about the fact that the whole thing is maybe too chill, and that ur wasting ur time, and there are so many things to do, but the think is u don’t always have smth to do, that was when I realized that I never really chilled in my entire life, even when im chilling im somehow stressed, Im suddenly interrupted by thoughts or in the back of my brain im thinking about how I ”waste” my time. That their is always something to do, forever, even if u finished something. That there will be an appointment in 2 weeks or that you got to ´´have´´an daily routine . Your maybe relaxin, but not chilling, our brain always works, even if we do nothing. For me it felt like, Its a western and modern thing to always watch for the time, the idea and construct of dates. 
    Now im really lookin forward to also do an silent retreat in the future.
    Its the first video I saw from you, and I immediately subscribed to u.

  32. @starrystellaaa17 on September 6, 2024 at 4:44 pm

    Wow, thanks for the video! I’ve been there couple of times and I have to say that it was one of the best times I ever had. Went there after I broke up from a very long relationship and yes the place is a gem! It makes me forget and let go of things I shouldn’t hold on to. And thanks for the video again, it definitely feels like you brought me back to the place again. Love it, subscribed. 🤍

  33. @mrs.sutton4393 on September 6, 2024 at 4:45 pm

    Thanks for sharing you experience hopefully I can do this one day.

  34. @ckottrn on September 6, 2024 at 4:46 pm

    This is the opposite of a silent retreat

  35. @kamlakarrest923 on September 6, 2024 at 4:47 pm

    Try Vipassana Meditation by Goenka guru ji, its change your whole life for all time
    First no cost to meditation its free of cost after u finish it for 10 days it’s on you whatever you donate or not
    They never want anything its ur wish
    😊🙏👍

  36. @wrenchanCF on September 6, 2024 at 4:48 pm

    an underrated human

  37. @TrapperKeeper999 on September 6, 2024 at 4:49 pm

    ❤❤❤

  38. @milliondeez7660 on September 6, 2024 at 4:49 pm

    So you are allowed to talk…

  39. @onkarkitekt on September 6, 2024 at 4:51 pm

  40. @randyrodgers7848 on September 6, 2024 at 4:52 pm

    Pretty sure you missed the point of a "silent" retreat.

  41. @ChrisBrooksbank on September 6, 2024 at 4:55 pm

    a mice problem, sounds OK, mice attract snakes, WHAT ?

  42. @kufudokungfu on September 6, 2024 at 4:55 pm

    Been wanting to do one these retreats 🙏

  43. @TomCook1993 on September 6, 2024 at 4:55 pm

    Need more thirst traps

  44. @ADHD101Thrive on September 6, 2024 at 4:59 pm

    Bro you Miss the entire point of the meditation. If you were truly trying to disconnect from society then you wouldn’t be trying to make content so you can give yous and make money. You haven’t learned anything. You’re still trying to get validation from others and you’re still pursuing materialism. The fact that you bought that hat alone tells everything. You’re obsessed over possessing things it looks like throughout the week you struggled with this and you had to find ways to occupy your time with things. The point is not the occupy yourself, but rather to not occupy yourself with anything

  45. @ruzickaw on September 6, 2024 at 4:59 pm

    It seems it did not have any effect on you the way you are speaking. It was just an outside silence, nothing inside.

  46. @woosukbyun2455 on September 6, 2024 at 5:01 pm

    Thanks for the video. How did you make a reservation at the place??

  47. @lyneomeinhold3998 on September 6, 2024 at 5:05 pm

    You should travel to Thailand. Especially one of the islands there perfect for snorkeling and its very peaceful for example the spa koh Chang and koh tow and more . Iove your videos btw.

  48. @overgrowncIit on September 6, 2024 at 5:06 pm

    I think it was better you were essentially there all your own. It was like an exclusive get away and after looking at the website it is not very expensive either so you got a lot for your buck.

  49. @simongamez on September 6, 2024 at 5:07 pm

    This must be one of the best experiences some can have!

  50. @rustiblu26 on September 6, 2024 at 5:07 pm

    Recording it is digressive
