(i don't particularly recommend the retreats in the tradition of S. N. Goenka, called "10-day vipassana retreats," due primarily to their dogmatism, difficulty on the body, and lack of trauma sensitivity. some have found these retreats good medicine for where they were at, however. feel free to contact me about this.)
