Thanks for the responses so far. Since joining the forum, I've really come to appreciate Theravadan teachings, but (if I'm being completely honest) haven't been willing to take on the precept of not eating after midday, so have avoided attending retreats in this tradition (as you need to accept 8 precepts). There's no medical reason for this, just my own greed

I really am ungrateful aren't I? (too expensive, too restrictive, blah blah...)
