Good evening dj! It's free, it'll be a great head start into learning how to meditate and if it will significantly help you. It was a religious woman (who I trust and respect very much) who told me about transidental meditation not always being suited for Westerners. She was just generalizing because her husband, who is North American through and through, does this type of meditation. She said he was a reverse banana, white on the outside, yellow in the inside. I've tried it, long before she told me this, and it made me dizzy and panicky. At this point I won't even try to guess why this happened. Just thought I'd tell you incase you tried it, didn't like it and had given up on meditation. I think you should go for this 10 day retreat. Think about how nice it would be to have someone else organize your day and take care of your physical needs while you concentrate on your mental and spiritual health.
Just make sure you give a friend the address or phone number of where you will be. I sound like my mother. Let me know how it goes. Janice.
