In this transformative episode of StayiN' Wild & Well, riN takes listeners deep into the heart of the forest - sharing her raw and vulnerable experience of a silent retreat like no other. Nestled in a simple treehouse with no heat—save for the warmth of a fire—and no modern comforts like a washroom or running water - riN embarks on a jourNey to confront her innermost self.
A year prior, riN meditated with a heartfelt plea for unconditional love, willing to surrender everything for a taste of mental freedom. But as life unfolded, she realized she wasn't showing up as authentically as she desired. Spirit answered her call, leading her to the woods not for a luxurious escape, but for an uncomfortable, soul-deep reckoning.
Facing a year marked by profound loss and grief, riN's OCD had surged, bringing coping mechanisms to the forefront that tried to shield her from the rawness of her emotions. This retreat wasn't just about silence—it was about feeling. Feeling the discomfort, the grief, the darkness. It was about truly listening to that quiet, inner voice she'd often silenced.
Join riN as she shares the lessons learned from this powerful, uncomfortable, and ultimately freeing experience in the wilderness.
