EP373: What thought is saying vs. what it’s doing

Thought says no end of things. But what does thought do?

Thought does things like conclude, restate, and provide frames and contexts.

What thought does is often more subtle and easy to miss than what thought says, but it’s far more valuable to see.

I will be leading two Silent Retreats in 2026. 

The primary retreat (hosted and facilitated by me) will be in Taos, New Mexico, February 22-27. The second retreat (facilitated by me) will be in Hendersonville, North Carolina, February 1-6.

Both retreats will provide a supportive space for you to steep in your essential being. You’ll immerse in what’s always here, unchanging, beyond the pull of thoughts, feelings and identities, in the absence of everyday distractions and conditioning.

The retreats will be small, so space is limited. You can check out all the details at https://dramyjohnson.com/silent-retreats-2026/
