People frequently drop out of silent retreats, and they’re already a self-selected group. Curious where you’re getting you’re data that almost everyone adheres in a silent retreat.
I’ve done 5 10 day long retreats and just eye-balling how many people were still there at the end, I’d say at least 95% managed to stay till the end.
I also know two people with ADHD who say they struggle a lot with discipline, yet they both managed to meditate 6+ hours everyday on said retreats.
My only data is personal anecdotes like this.
