Why do I keep returning to silent retreats regularly?

I'm on my fourth silent meditation retreat now and have been going regularly, every 6 months to 1 year.

I go through why I regularly give myself these timeouts... and if life constantly feels overwhelming with too much going on - perhaps you might want to consider training with an experienced meditation teacher near you too!
