Quite the challenge Avery! I still remember, in great detail, the silent retreat I attended many decades ago, and my favorite part were the long walks through fields and valleys (same area, just outside Amherst, MA). There was an excited calm that I discovered during those walks, one that stays with me to this day. Thank you for reminding me of that!
Hang on to the lessons from your silent retreat and thanks for sharing them with the rest of us, especially those who are quite certain they could not be silent for three days! And remember it's never a mistake to go with the soup.

Yes! Walking meditation was my favorite part too. Such a special experience.

You would surprise yourself! I thought I couldn’t do it either but here we are 🤗
