← All episodes
Published 14 July 2026

Ever wondered what it’s really like to do a 10-day Vipassana retreat? Scotty spent 10 days with no phone, no talking and 11 hours of meditation a day to find out.

In this Quickie, she shares what actually happens on a Vipassana meditation course—vivid dreams, a very sore back, every mistake resurfacing on a loop, unexpected clarity, and why silent retreats should never serve beans.

Equal parts confronting, enlightening and unintentionally hilarious, this one’s for anyone curious about Vipassana, silent retreats, or whether they’d last more than 24 hours without their phone.
