Since 2019 it has been a goal of mine to make a mini-retreat in between My 108s to reflect and plan. I finally started this in 2025. The ritual now is booking the next retreat while I’m in my retreat. I started at hotels, but the goal was to transition to places that are more reflective, but also inexpensive. I’ve always thought temples would be perfect for this. I plan on staying in a temple for the first time in April of 2026. I will be looking for places that are “off the grid”. I will share my experiences with these places here. – November 7th, 2025
