What happens when you spend ten days in silence—with no phones, no reading, no distractions—just you, your thoughts, and your breath?

In this episode, Dr. Carlos Garcia and Supna Doshi explore the transformative power of meditation through Carlos's experience at a 10-day Vipassana retreat. From 4:30 AM wake-ups to hours of silent sitting, Carlos shares the challenges of facing his restless mind, old wounds, and deep emotions—and the surprising peace and gratitude that emerged on the other side.

"The hardest path often reveals the deepest truths."
"When we stop running from our pain, we begin to heal."

This episode goes beyond the retreat itself, touching on meditation as a tool for healing bipolar disorder, processing grief and shame, and awakening to the subtle ways our minds create suffering. Supna also shares how running has become her own form of moving meditation—an anchor of quiet in the midst of training for a marathon.

Together, Carlos and Supna remind us that silence is not emptiness—it's an invitation to meet ourselves more fully, to soften the ego, and to reconnect with the soul.
