I sat another serene and peaceful silent retreat at The Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, safely ensconced in the deep New England snow.  My teachers were Lila Kate Wheeler and Howie Cohn.  I was fortunate to be joined for a few days by my friend and fellow yogi, Patrick Briody from New Jersey.  Most memorably, Lila Kate led us in a lovely forgiveness meditation that I brought back with me, and I have used this on several occasions with my clients.
