A while ago, Josh was talking about silent retreats and sent me some info about one in OR. I was talking with my wife the other day about this type of retreat b/c of a guy named Troy Casey (certified health nut) was mentioning how much of a benefit it was to him. Any of you men ever done this or know about this facility?
Illinois Vipassana Center (Dhamma Pakasa): Located northwest of Chicago in Pecatonica, Illinois, Dhamma Pakasa is typically the most direct driving route for Indiana residents….A 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat requires a strict mental commitment where you disconnect completely from the outside world to practice intense self-observation. For those living in Indiana, official S.N. Goenka residential centers located in neighboring states offer these traditional courses entirely on a donation basis.
