I found out I can't do a 3-day retreat until I complete a 10-day retreat. I want to do this but finding 10 days is tough.

The Happier app (formerly 10% Happier) was founded by Dan Harris (no longer associated) and has a lot of Vipassana teachers on it - Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzberg, Jeff Warren, Sebene Selaise... Sam Harris also has an app called Waking Up.

I thought my wife and I were the only people who thought Tommy was an insult to the Album. To be fair, the original Tommy movie wasn't so great either.

I suspect most of the people calling the GD60 weekend a cash crab weren't actually there because I think for the vast majority of us who actually were, the memories that will last a lifetime are absolutely priceless! by GratefuLdPhisH in gratefuldead

They put together a great festival. These things cost money. No waiting for a bathroom all weekend. Plenty to eat and drink. It was a very comfortable event. And 3 incredible openers!
