"The Course Experience - Before" from <em>Realizing Change</em>

"I hung the brochure with the course schedule on the wall of my room, and often looked at it in disbelief. Counting the meditation periods, I kept thinking, is that really ten hours? Are they nuts? Am I nuts? What am I doing here? Why am I doing this to myself? Something had drawn me to the place, certainly, but as the ten-day course geared up to begin, I still could not pinpoint what it was." This audio podcast is Chapter 3 of a twelve-part series from the audiobook Realizing Change by Ian Hetherington. It investigates why many students have travelled thousands of miles to attend the 10-day vipassana retreat and how they came to be there. 3 - The Course Experience - Before as read by Ian Hetherington recorded 2014/2015 32 minutes Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.
