Attending 7 day silent mediation retreat in West VA. Any tips or suggestions??

[Jonsey]

On December 15th, I will be embarking on a 7 day silent meditation retreat in West Virginia. Originally, I was going to focus on Do Nothing Meditation or Strong Determination Sitting, but ultimately, I decided focusing 100% on Contemplation would be the most beneficial practice for me to take part in during my time at the retreat. So I'll have a lot of pens and a lot of paper at the retreat and hopefully during my stay, I'll have a lot of information I can take back with me to the "real world" to put to good use for my benefit and for others who need guidance. 

As of now I'll be focusing %100 on contemplation(and maybe magic mushrooms). Any other tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Buy a simple face mask to cover your eyes. 

I am doing a concentration technique with candle now. 

Face mask helps a lot when mind is tired of staring at the objects, and wants to retreat* in peace, internally.

I think this mask will do the trick:
