Episode 124: Wisdom in Discomfort

August 20, 2015

Today, Reggie discusses the claustrophobia we feel when we commit to the tight confines of a retreat environment.  A good retreat, he says, is very uncomfortable from the standpoint of ego. There is wisdom in the discomfort: by not getting what we want, we are forced to drop our preoccupations and relax into what is.

This talk was given at the at the 2010 Winter Dathun retreat held in Crestone, CO.
