Solo Meditation Retreat - Any Ideas??? Please Help

2 posts in this topic

Soon I'll have 4 days totally to myself (fully alone and no commitment) - so I plan to spend them wisely (meditate hardcore), but I never did a "retreat".

Do you have any ideas (like meditation plans) or common pitfalls for me to avoid? Maybe link useful resources?

Have you watched Leo's solo retreat video? 

I've done a 3-day weekend with ~6hrs of seated meditation each day, but I was also running errands, exercising, texting, Youtubing, etc. So I don't count that as a retreat. For a dedicated solo retreat at home, I'd guess that staying focused would be the main thing. When you're in your house, you're in your comfort zone, and that can lead to sloth. 

I've thought about doing like Leo did and renting a cabin for a week to 10 days, but I think I'd be able to keep my focus at home as well. Still thinking about doing an at-home darkness retreat for a few days. Locking myself in the pitch dark basement the whole time.
