I’d be interested in the background to your signing up for the retreat. Why did you go, and how did it come about? (But this is a smaller priority than the other work you listed to do imminently.)
I went because several friends I trust strongly endorsed the idea as a way to get me away from constant feedback loops, and because my wife is getting really into it and it was hopefully something we could do together. There was super high upside if it worked.
As this is not a high priority at the moment, not going to go into further details. I am debating how seriously to attempt a more sane practice rather than jumping straight in the deep end.

Instead of cutting feedback loops, perhaps you could switch to a different set for a while.
