Podcast episode 105 of Buddhist Geeks is titled “The Forest Dwelling Yogi” and interviews Reginald Ray on
the forest dwelling meditator, a category of practitioner outside of the normal lay / monastic dichotomy. In particular we look at the role that retreat — both group and solitary — plays for the type of practitioner that does intensive retreat but is not a full-time practitioner.
Ray notes how the solitary retreat opens new space in self-awareness, and enhances awareness of one’s body and of details of our physical environment.
