That is brave. I really hope you enjoy the experience and dont miss this. Please share the journey here. And on your point of hunger, it is an amazing practice to mediate when it is even more difficult. I have mediated during all sorts of things that are very irritating normally. Just imagine trying to concentrate when someone is vacuuming right next to you, or sitting next to someone you shouldn't trust or many other situations that can lead to an amazing experience. Thanks for you post and i will be looking forward to hearing about your retreat.
