    A few weeks ago Gary Sanders went on retreat and took temporary vows to be a monk.

    Gary walks us through some of the aspects of this process, such as wearing robes all of the time (including while he slept), eating only two meals a day, no dancing and singing and shaving his cherished beard. He explains why he chose to temporarily ordain, his experiences with retreats in the past and the fact that he likes to push himself. We discuss the concept of how retreats can be for the privileged, and opportunities that are available to open up these up to more people.

    This was a fun conversation that could have easily gone on for much longer!
