Would you recommend this course/seminar/workshop to a friend?
Anything else you'd like to say regarding your recommendation?
I would recommend this experience to anyone who has even the slightest interest in it, provided they are clear about what it may take to go through it. This course is a true gift for anyone able to see the benefit in deep personal reflection even if they end up not continuing the meditation practice itself. However, in my opinion, it would truly be the loss of a great opportunity to not make a serious commitment to integrating the meditation techniques into one's daily life.
How much did you enjoy the course?
Why do you feel that way?
This is a very challenging course. One must be absolutely certain that they are up for the challenge before setting oneself to sit in silent meditation, literally all day every day for the duration of the course. Enjoyment ultimately becomes entirely the choice of the participant based on their perspective and willingness to meet the challenges.

How did this course help you?
While I have three or more stars for every category listed here, it is important to note that this is a silent, 10-day meditation retreat that is designed specifically to impart very valuable knowledge regarding a particular meditation practice. The 10 days of silence were absolutely vital in my experience to give myself an opportunity to do my own very significant life review, a choice not every participant will necessarily make. The meditation practice itself is designed to bring a very enhanced degree of clarity to one's life - which it absolutely does, for the serious practitioner. This clarity is what allows for any and all breakthroughs available to a participant.

This course is managed entirely by volunteers. These volunteers are all students of this meditation practice (people who were all new students like myself at one time). Their genuine desire to be of service without pay is a testament to the value of the teaching provided in this course. The course is also run entirely by donations. There is no charge to participate in this course. At the end it is entirely up to the participant as to whether and how much to donate so that future students may learn this very valuable meditation practice. Not only will I take this course again (which one may do whenever they like - almost anywhere in the world), but I am also certain that I will volunteer to work at a course in the future as well; and I will give a donation every time I attend a course either as a student or a worker.
