In this debut memoir, she chronicles the humorous—and often harrowing—adventures of the dueling inner voices that emerge in the silence: one intent on focusing on the seemingly negative aspects of her experiences, and the other on helping her see the positivity that can come from them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIlluminating for those who are new to mindfulness and resonant for those with established practices, \u003ci\u003eSit, Walk, Don’t Talk: How I Survived a Silent Meditation Retreat\u003c\/i\u003e also includes a helpful appendix listing tips for preparing for a silent meditation retreat, including a section for undertaking a retreat on your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSit, Walk, Don't Talk\u003c\/i\u003e is written from a secular perspective and will appeal to folks who've never attended a residential retreat but are curious about the experience and want to get a taste of what to expect before possibly taking the plunge. Practitioners who dream of going on retreat but cannot make the time will also get a lot out of Howd's story, as well as folks who've been on many retreats and want to recapture the feeling without leaving home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parallax Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47044293394672,"sku":"9781941529706","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781941529706_p0.jpg?v=1763757035","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781941529706","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
