Vipassana, Silence, and the Space Between Distraction and Awareness — with Martin Pack
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to step away from the noise of daily life and experience a silent retreat? To remove all distractions and responsibilities and simply be with yourself?
Earlier this year, I attended an 8-day Vipassana meditation retreat — a profound journey into silence and self-observation. In this episode of Unabridged You, I’m joined by our teacher, mentor, and guide Martin Pack, who shares his story, experience, and expertise in the practice of Vipassana.
Together, we explore the mechanics of Vipassana, the deeper meaning of mindfulness versus awareness, and what happens when we consciously face the tension between boredom and distraction. This is a thoughtful, grounded conversation that invites you to consider your own relationship with silence — and what you might discover there.
