i cried when you talked about the vision you had teaching your brother how to roller skate. thank you for sharing. i watched the whole thing and you are an incredible speaker and story teller

Came here from Reddit. I’m leaving for my first sit today. Thank you for the deep dive.

I’m overstimulated as a single mom. I could definitely use this kind of vacation.

This is great. I could never explain it to friends and family, they all thought I would go away to a cult for 10 days. My life changed , flipped, after each 10 Day Vipassana, after a 10 day volunteer. I was fired from a job, toxic relationships ended suddenly, I lost my place and was two days from being homeless, and suddenly, I found a new home, and new friends, a new job. All came at the right time, and the housing came first and immediately, the rest came slowly. I look back at the person I once was and who I become after. I def liked myself better after Vipassana, and so did others. I would like to go back but it seems impossible to go now cause everything is booked and I cant get in. Goenka, in my head, shut the door on me cause i have never committed to the practice even though I have only love for it. Anyway thanks for making this video. It is a motivation to go to a retreat, go to a less booked center.

You are a goddess! So mature and full of a youthful light at the same damn time! 😇 Not everyone can keep our attention for so long in a video but your story telling is phenomenal!

I just subscribed to your channel and I am a fellow ADHD member struggling with depression, anxiety, and combat related PTSD and other traumas. I've decided to pick my skates up again and ran across your channel. I'm digging your content. Thank you! 🙏🏾😊 I'm currently living in CA. I'm sure there is a vipassana near me somewhere.

I'm glad the retreat gave you so much clarity. More motivation for me to start meditating consistently and stop procrastinating actually living my life, I suppose.🧡

Gurll, I subscribed to this channel over a year ago to learn how to roller skate (and still haven't bc I haven't been consistent). But I've recently tuned into your other content and am blown away! I live in Thailand and attended a 21-day Vipassana December of last year (different format than yours, more individualized). Thank you for being so transparent about your experience. Being in Thailand, I meet many people who have attended but no one has said anything more about it other than they meditated all day. Just like yourself, I thought that's what I was going to learn to do and I received so much more! The description of it as a lifechanging experience is in no way an overstatement.

Thank you for being so vulnerable and open about your experience:).it was beautiful to hear more about your life before you went and this made me feel so much more assured hearing more in detail about the space.I am looking forward to going this year,I feel so ready to work through what I need to. ❤

4:58 "I hope that you are strapped in- this is going to be a video that you're going to put on while you're cleaning up the house..." Oh cool that's what I put this on for :)) 1:17:39 awe that's great. Nice video all around. I learned a lot

I cried twice during this video, once when you mentioned finally moving out and buying your own house and when you had the vision of skating with your brother. It moved me a lot and touched my heart. I have heard of oaths of silence and vapassana but now I have a better understanding of it and I don’t think I will do any more research because I want to go in with neutral expectations. I plan to get it arranged right after I move out of my current situation in November on my birthday this year. I’m hoping it will set me off right. Thank you for sharing your experience

Thanks so much for sharing! I’ve started looking up one close to me and wanna do it closer to my birthday. I run towards opportunities like this to learn more about myself and just to become a better person. Your content is so refreshing because the healing journey feels sooo lonely. I be struggling working through my stuff while others seem to be just having the time of their lives in blissful ignorance. This kind of deep, DIFFICULT healing is not popular. And even though I don’t know you personally, I really do feel a sense of belonging here because it seems we have so much in common. ♥️ Thanks again. Happy to hear you come out of your experience with this with such a positive outlook.

Thank you for sharing 🫶🏽✨🌸

Thank you for this!

Thank you for sharing!

This might be one of the most inspiring videos I have seen on yt in as long as I can remember

I chuckled when you said Gandolf. After saying goddess so many times. Best part of the whole video. I relate to Gandolf deeply ❤

Phenomenal! Thank you for sharing. Loved this, Dasia. Happy for you, your breakthroughs, and progress! 🎉

Yes🎉I love this 💕

Insightful, thanks for sharing.

Dasia I just DM you on IG. Your story blessed me in so many ways. Thank you for sharing all the good bad and ugly.

I loved this 🖤 please make more long form content 💜

This whole video gave me chills, you are so beautiful inside and out. ❤

Also, I could listen to you all day, so no problem getting through this 😊

Just found you a few days ago and so glad I did! Thank you for sharing your experience so openly, honestly.

Thank you soso much for your great honesty!!!! It's so awesome, to hear about your experiences!!! I send you much love and light from Germany and a big hug!!! I see your light!!

I Love your Beautiful Natural Crown! Btw, Fantastic content, Queen! Blessings to you! LOVE

i’ve actually heard of the retreat in Jesup very recently!! That’s very near to where I’m from. i’ve been watching your skating vids for a while and came across this on your channel. that’s very neat to hear about the retreat and then get to hear your real life experience. thank you so much for sharing your experience and inspiring others. very proud of you as well for pushing through. goes to show how pushing past our personal boundaries and mental barriers and getting out of our comfort zone can lead us to the most transformative experiences in life. thank you thank you thank you

What you said about holding on tightly to the things/experiences that won't last forever -- I feel that way about my daughters. Everything has been to love and support them, to make sure they have what they need emotionally to make it in the world. In two years, I will have less self-imposed responsibilities. And yes, it seems as if things happen in threes. I can attest to that. God bless you, Sweet Lady of such wisdom.

I appreciated every minute of your video. I’m not working right now and this year I’ve been slowing down and practicing silence so much that I feel so aligned with your experience. Even as you mentioned the struggles you endured along the way, I knew it was just the pain body. Wow so cool to listen to your story and how the experience evolved. I also study this work intently, so it made me excited to learn from their theoretical perspective too. I was already sold on trying it myself when you first shared about it in the last video. But now I’m wanting to slow down even more in my day to day, to go even deeper too. I would love to connect with you!

You are an excellent storyteller, both in your phrasing and the calming tone of your voice :)

Hi Dasia, I’m glad I found your KZfaq. I was listening to you from beginning to end…😎 I’ve been practicing Theravada Buddhism and meditation and haven’t been to any 10 day Vipassana retreats (maybe soon). Thank you for sharing feelings about your experience and how it benefits you daily (being more present, more patient, more kind, feeling lighter, and being less suffered from clinging to phenomenon (past or future) realizing that these are impermanent and not-self. 💙🙏💙 from Southern California.

Ok somehow sharing your sad story made this better 🎉 thank you

How awesome that you experienced this! My youngest daughter is a teenager and if I did not listen or talk to her that would equal child abuse. I hope to do this in the future, maybe once she goes off to college or something like that. As a teenager, trauma sent me into silence. I mostly only spoke when spoken to but was not necessarily a vow of silence. I am so glad I subscribed and am so glad I found you.

I keep coming back to this video

Thank you again

Wow!! Thank you for sharing! I’m a seeker of growth/healing, I’ve gotten so much closer in the last year(s) but I know something just hasn’t cracked me yet. This sounds like something my soul is searching for. Not sure when I would be able to accommodate this, maybe I could plan for sometime next year especially as I will be turning 40. I like that you mentioned about learning to dance in the rain, I love that saying but I don’t think I’ve yet really learned how to really do it.

I love long videos that I can put on while I stretch, do chores, draw, or just breathe. Genuinely, thank you.💗

Thank you for sharing your experience. I did not know about Vipassana prior to seeing your reel on Instagram. I am now very curious and leaning towards trying it for myself. There’s a place a few hours from me that offers the 10 day course.

You have a beautiful and generous soul. It took we a week to go through this, because I was constantly stopped to absorb what you say.

Thank you for this beautiful video. I am definitely intrigued. I have toyed with the idea of a retreat for years but so many are cost prohibitive. The secular nature of this approach appeals to me too.

I did this by myself guided by my spiritual team 😮

Thank you for sharing this! I am looking forward to an upcoming trip to Bali. I love hearing others journey stories. I did 2 days with Sadhguru and thought that was a challenge, lol!

27:37 not arguing over confetti...😸💕

i just recently found your videos looking for roller skating tips and i was wondering why you hadn’t posted any recently but watching this like damn! i’m sorry for all the hurt you’ve had to endure but just know you’ve brought a random stranger on the internet happiness with your passion for skating! I love u!!!🩷🩷🩷

Can't wait for your come to Jesus moment.

I subscribed for skate content and you give so much more. Because of this video I signed up for my first sit. Is it okay, if I have follow up questions?

I wish I can do this

Hey!! Thank u so much for sharing a part of your life with us. I really appreciate it. Wanted to know did u have to sit up the whole time?? Are u allowed to lay down during the meditations

❤❤

35:46 anyone else she that man’s shadow walk across the window?

5:15 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🏖️

How about a ten day course for seniors I am 72years young.

4:24💐..I beautiful 😍

😯

Well shit i do this some days without even trying. I didn't know this was some kind of therapy.

Can you talk to yourself? Like sing out loud in your room?

Random: you stated in the beginning that Lemoncelleo LeCroix is the best flavor. I've been swearing by that flavor for YEARS!.... ok, im heading back to the video. See you at the end lol 👋🏾😅

When did sitting become masculine??😅

How did you get 10 days without having to respond to someone or something?!!!??? I can’t imagine this 😢

Ö

How old are you?

Found you from Instagram. So happy I found your channel here 🫶🏻
