Vipassana has 'pay it forward' 'free' 10 day meditation retreats around the world. I've been on a couple in my life and found them very rewarding. You basically vow to follow Buddhist precepts for the retreat including: Vow of silence, no eye contact, vegan diet, harm no-one (try not to step on ants etc), and living to a regimented schedule of meditation, eating, sleeping. I found it very rewarding and definitely noticed how the modern lifestyle impacts you after resetting myself back to lifestyle homeostasis.

Yeah, I feel better today. I should start meditating daily. Dont think I can for a retreat for the next few months but this si something I would love!
