Greetings,
I am Scott. I'm 52 yrs old, married 30 yrs, and have one son who is now 25 yrs old. I have practiced meditation off and on most of my adult life. Lately, I am finding it difficult to work due to chronic major depression. I am looking for a hermitage in Minnesota where I can do a solitary retreat on a semi long term basis. I am founder of a car club here in MN, have had 7 yrs of classical guitar instruction, have recorded original music, am a frustrated artist and am in the process of self taught buddhist practices.
I found this forum through an internet search and registered here because I am hoping to find like minded people to discuss life, depression and meditation with.

Hey Scott,
I'm new here also. I came across your introduction when looking for the place to introduce myself. I'll do that in a minute.
I've only recently started meditating (about a year now). I've come into contact with meditation through a mindfulness course that was suggested by my psychiatrist. I have been having depressions for 15 years, mostly SAD (winterdepression). This specific mindfulness course was developed for people suffering from depression. I can say it is a great way to learn to deal with depression and even prevent a new depression from occuring.
I hope you'll find inner peace,
Kind Regards,
J.J.
Netherlands.
