When I did a 10-day vipassana meditation retreat last year, there is a rule that you can't talk or read or write or communicate in any way with anyone.

I realized that you see yourself through the way other people see you and the way they communicate this to you. It was a really interesting and valuable experience and I highly recommend it for anyone. In case you're interested, you can find out more here: http://dhamma.org http://dhamma.org
