What Jamie wrote
Told through a very sad and unfortunate story of a woman that experienced a psychotic break during a meditation retreat. As the article states, casual meditation has not shown any potential to cause problems. But I do wonder if organizations that offer extended duration retreats should have some training to make sure that the mental state of people in those experiences is okay.
