On Wednesday, February 1, I will travel to the Vipassana Meditation Center in Onalaska, WA for a ten-day Goenka meditation retreat. I am a bit overwhelmed and intimidated, but these are the folks who focus on the body scan, and that has become the foundation for my practice. It helps that we have a friend here on Whidbey Island who has been facilitating these retreats for about 30 years, though he will not be at this one. I notice a process leading up to this, but do not want to intrude on it by blogging about it! Will report back Feb 12!
