People are paying hundreds of dollars a night to go on meditation retreats where speaking is banned, and it shows just how far the 'wellness generation' is taking things, Business Insider - Business Insider Malaysia
Silent meditation retreats have been around for many years. Thailand has many such retreats in secluded jungle environments.
You get hours and hours of guided meditation, nutritious tasty vegan Thai food, no distractions and a peaceful milieu to reflect upon life.
Here, you live a spartan life during the stay: you will be stripped of all your belonging like laptop, books, writing tools and phone and given a blanket, a straw mat, mosquito net and a wooden pillow. No communication with the outside world and no conversation with anyone else within the premises either.
Millennials and corporate executives wanting to go on a silent meditation aren't likely to opt for such spartan life, even for a short period of seven days.
Instead, they would prefer luxury wellness experience. Since many of them are willing to pay for such experiences, the hospitality industry is ever ready to capitalize on it.
