There is great benefit in providing opportunities for those recently completing a significant retreat to “think out loud” about the experience, as this “connects the dots” regarding the experience to support integrating the insights and skills acquired during the retreat.  Andy has been meditating for decades and is the founding teacher of the Lakeland Insight Meditation Group.  His talk was supplemented by the blog report found on the website: https://limg.org/2022/04/cotton-balls-on-my-heart-andys-retreat-experience-forest-refuge-march-2022/  Those participating in the Zoom meeting reported favorably on Andy’s description of his experience at the Forest Refuge, a major retreat center in Massachusetts.
