Silence touches us in many different ways: offering sanctuary and tranquillity, bringing us into touch with the inner depths which elude us in the hurly-burly of our everyday lives. It is a source of joy, of inspiration for art, literature and music and it awakens us to the present moment, bringing a wonderful clarity. The Spirit of Silence is for those who wish to look beyond the speed and superficiality of our modern lifestyle to find depth and spiritual space in their lives. It is devoted to clearing the clutter from our minds, and to feeding the creative heart and soul. It will encourage more of us to give solitude and stillness an honoured and essential place in our lives.
