Inside Vipassana: Staying Silent for 10 Days

What happens when you don’t speak, read, or make eye contact for 10 whole days? SBS Spice girl Dilpreet Kaur Taggar went full monk mode at a Vipassana retreat, and Suhayla Sharif is here to ask the questions—Was it peaceful or just painful? Did she reach enlightenment or just realise she might be the problem? In this intimate chat, we unpack mindfulness, solitude, and the fine line between self-awareness and toxic positivity. Because sometimes, 'good vibes only' just isn’t enough. Listen only on SBS Spice—wherever you get your podcasts.

It is something that can only come from within. I don't think there is a formula for this, but it's good to sometimes take a step back and re-analyse how you treat people, how you talk to people, and most importantly, how you talk to yourself. And sometimes, you really can be the problem.
