Wow. Thinking about this, I think I could take on the "not speaking part" fairly easily. Although I'd still exclaim stuff out loud about my own performance at whatever I'm doing (e.g. foot tripping, "nice work dhead!").
Giving up writing is also possible given I'd have no devices around or paper. But giving up reading would be the toughest. Trapped in my own mind for a month, I'd need LONG forest walks. I'd basically have to walk all the time.

But I realize that it's a show my ego puts on for other egos; because that's just part of what egos do, mock any sign of being human. Fortunately, the ashram is located in the middle of nowhere with plenty of wild nature to explore. We were encouraged to not make any sounds at all, or gestures/miming; beyond what was absolutely critical.
