YES!!!!!!!!! SILENT WITH NO PHONE!!!! IM IN
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!
So proud of you Ben!! What was the retreat called and how much did it cost?
How much does this retreat cost?
Do not run madly behind money. Satisfaction is the treasure
Just found your videos, and I’ve been binging them. Love the stories and the aesthetic.
Can you go live while there
Do they have any of these retreats in the uk ? Xx
another great video ben . keep up the good work 2021 will be a good year indeed for you im sure. Always look forward to your updates.
Do they speak English ? / the lady who introduced u to the place
Can we get an update? did it change your life?
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.
Video nya bikin uang
I can do anything, except reading a book by Deepak Chopra. I’d be afraid to loose half my brain.
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.
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?
Hey there. Can I do a one day version of this ? 7 days and 10 days seem too long for me
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.
Satu Satu Satu
Doing a week of silent retreat is tough for a first time experience. Really interesting. Thanks for posting.
Amazing, I’m glad u enjoyed your experience 😊
Oh wow , you practice spirituality and you just said….if you like this video subscribe of you don’t please subscribe anyways 😂 this is hilarious
thanks for sharing! Its nice that u have your gopro with you so you could still film without your phone. I plan to do this meditation retreat soon for my first bali trip in future 😀
Am there right now
I dont know if this will be seen being years after post but does anyone know about something like a year long buddhist retreat?
What silent meditation…you are talking all the time and documenting this !!
Looks amazing, we are all too addicted and reliant on our devices. I think I want to try this too. 🤔
Rather do this then the 10day Vipassana one.
Nice body❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰
Absolutely Amazing!! Cannot Wait for The Moving House Vid !! ️
If been looking to do something like this for so long
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.
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. 🤍
Thanks for sharing you experience hopefully I can do this one day.
This is the opposite of a silent retreat
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
😊🙏👍
an underrated human
❤❤❤
So you are allowed to talk…
6:34 ⏳
Pretty sure you missed the point of a "silent" retreat.
a mice problem, sounds OK, mice attract snakes, WHAT ?
Been wanting to do one these retreats 🙏
Need more thirst traps
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
It seems it did not have any effect on you the way you are speaking. It was just an outside silence, nothing inside.
Thanks for the video. How did you make a reservation at the place??
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.
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.
This must be one of the best experiences some can have!
Recording it is digressive
