Retreat Rules: No talking. No eye contact. No physical contact.
No reading. No writing. No exercise. No intoxicants.
THE WANDERER is back! Never left, actually. But things have evolved now. Or devolved. Surrealism. Fadensifier
THE RETREAT is the off-the-wall, psychological fever-dream sequel where all the rules are tested, warped, and bent to breaking point. Where the real and unreal become entangled in
a spiralling dance.
THE PLAN in Last Days in Nepal was to travel over the border, to India's holiest & most chaotic city. To celebrate and write about the coloured powder festival of Holi
And then head to a silent meditation retreat.
(A chaos offset, if you will.)
But something's gone wrong. Awry. Amiss.
NOW WE WAKE UP on the ten day silent meditation retreat with no memory of what's happened. A complete gap in the timeline.
A black void where there should be colour.
THE MYSTERY BEGINS...
Strap in for a double-helixed helter-skelter slide into the swirling mist-filled night.
