My World - Monastic Retreats for Dummies

Could it really be all about me? Tune in next week and follow my mystical journey to Mepkin Abbey www.mepkinabbey.org . Most of the experience was far too personal -- or could smell a bit self-promoting to tell the world about, yet there are parts you won't want to miss.

Feel no pressure of a "this is how spiritual I am" web log. In my years on the spirtual journey, this was the longest personal retreat by far (3 Days). My previous record was 24 hours, with an exhaustive list of cancellations. I don't think my experience at the abbey will intimidate.

I guess it might be best to call this "Monastic Retreats for Dummies" or "Silence, Prayer, and Solitude for the Rest of Us."
