What happens when you step out of everyday life and spend a week immersed in meditation, teaching and personal development?
In this episode of An Evolving Man Podcast, Piers Cross reflects on attending Dr Joe Dispenza’s week-long retreat in Copenhagen, following a Progressive Retreat in Basel.
Piers had booked the retreats during a difficult period following the death of his wife Michelle. Although he had continued working and practising self-care, the retreat helped him recognise that grief, loneliness and a degree of depression were still present beneath the busyness.

He shares some of the most meaningful parts of the experience: the people he met, deep meditation, coherence healing, powerful experiences of sensing Michelle’s presence, and the immersive nature of days beginning early in the morning and continuing into the evening. Pasted text
Piers also speaks openly about the challenges. Being surrounded by thousands of people brought up old patterns around people-pleasing, fitting in and censoring himself — patterns he connects with his experience of boarding school.
Ultimately, the week became a reminder of three simple things:
Gratitude. Joy. Presence.
A personal reflection on grief, spirituality, meditation, discomfort, healing and remembering to enjoy life rather than constantly striving to improve it.
