S1E4: Three-Year Retreat, Pt. 1

In the spirit of the holidays, we’re sharing an in-depth discussion Lama Mitchell and I recently had about the Three-Year Retreat we completed in March of 2020.

You’ll hear an overview of the traditional three-year retreat and specifics about ours; how Phish always had a sacred thread of practice to us, even before we knew a Buddhist framework for it; why a sense of spaciousness makes everything more beautiful; what it’s been like re-entering the world; and a remembrance of our unique and truly special retreat brother, Gelek Namgyal, one of two retreatants who passed away during our retreat.

In loving memory of Gelek Namgyal.
