"Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakes." Damn! I know that's not you, but this kind of stuff makes me want to become a philosopher, poet, or maybe just a tawdry meme writer.
This was a beautiful piece, one again, Claire. Great to learn about how your solitude retreats have evolved, and why.
Since this was my first panicked thought, “Wait, is the phone OFF off, or just on airplane mode?”, sounds like a solitude retreat would be good for me. It would be a stretch to limit myself to the list of activities (or non-activities) you’ve suggested…but I’m feeling more open to it now. I typically need a few days to turn off my mind and productivity, so this accelerated timeline is a good just-scary-enough challenge.
I LOVE this!! I do a solo business retreat - which I love. But THIS!? I've never done this. And it sounds absolutely devine, necessary and soul-giving. Thanks for the comprehensive share - - lists and all! :-)
