Received pointing out instructions twice, been integrating into daily life as much as possible. But I've heard from both fellow practitioners, and teachers a lot lately that multi-week retreats, preferably longer are a "necessity" for getting to the point of totally daily integration without needing formal sessions anymore.

I don't have the money, or time for that as I have people that are financially reliant on me, and I can't get that much time off of work all at once. Is this genuinely a "necessity" or what?
