Yea I quit for ages, only recently did it again since a bereavement. While I was off it the most awe inspiring thing I did was a 10 day vipassana retreat in 2023 (as taught by S N Goenka). I know there are centres all around the world where you can do this, if you go to https://www.dhamma.org you will find all the info you need. I did a bit of research before I did mine, which I found helpful, but each person is unique, so each has a unique experience.
