10 day silent meditation retreat in the jungle. Goenka vipassana, not a style that I really endorse but a very Β interesting and cool experience

This was my bedroom. No devices, woken up my a bell in the morning. I had an ant problem for a while (literally hundreds in my bathroom), killed a fair amount of them (totally breaking a precept) before realising that itβs much more effective to live and let live (they werenβt biters or anything)
No eye contact the whole time - youβd eat your food (the food was actually awesome) facing the wall
The canteen where weβd all eat
I shaved my head on like day 7 because it felt like an awesome βnew startβ experience. And then I started tweeting, having an outlet for self expression for the first time really. I had never shaved my head before and had previously felt fairly attached to/vain about my hair (as I imagine we all do) so this felt really good to do. It was funny when we were allowed to talk again and the guys were like βuhh you had hair at the start right??β
