The value of silence is as important as sleep, as important as night, as important as rest. Everyday people are living busy lives between work and other responsibilities and even recreational activities come with all the bells and whistles to keep one interested and the drama fully alive. But is this making us sick, mentally and spiritually sick? Few people know or understand the secrets of silence, and the intimacy of solitude. True silence will bring you an internal peace, a sense of rightness of being and an ability to engage with the world with greater mindfulness and deeper wisdom.
However finding silence is not an easy quest and this little community seeks to support you to find it and once you have found it you can carry it wherever you go.
The journey of silence comes in two phases.
- Removing the person from the noise
- Removing the noise from the person.
This journey into silence is a well-travelled path in the Christian Desert Tradition. We invite you to join with us in this quest.
