Into The Silence

I am excited to share a personal journey I'm about to embark on—an 8-day silent retreat. This retreat is more than just a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life; it's an opportunity to reconnect with the profound stillness of spirit that resides within. There will be no technology, no phones, no music, only reading of sacred texts, basically no distractions at all.

Throughout history, many ancient cultures and wisdom traditions have revered silence as a pathway to deeper understanding and spiritual growth. From the silent meditations of Buddhist monks to the contemplative solitude of Christian mystics and hermits, the act of withdrawing from the noise of the world to listen to the inner voice has been a cornerstone of personal transformation.

In our modern, fast-paced lives, silence is often an elusive luxury. Yet, it holds incredible power. Silence allows us to tune out the external distractions and tune into our innermost thoughts, feelings, and truths. It offers a space for introspection, healing, clarity, and a deeper connection with our soul. It tunes us into the deepest parts of our sacred heart.

During this retreat, I will immerse myself in this sacred silence, seeking to tap into the wisdom and peace it offers. As Saint Teresa of Calcutta says: "In the silence of the heart, God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you."

I look forward to the insights and renewal this experience will bring, and I encourage you to consider incorporating moments of silence into your own life. Whether it's through meditation, nature walks, or simply sitting quietly, the benefits can be profound.

Let us embrace the ancient wisdom of silence and discover the power it holds for our modern souls and tender sacred hearts.

?With love and blessings.
