"Conversations with Silence: the transformative power of silence" - Sally Longley
  •  19 August 2023
     9:30AM - 12:30PM

What is your relationship with silence? Some think of silence as monochrome, or simply a romantic notion. For others, there may be great fear, a sense of boredom or puzzlement. Or maybe you are very experienced in silence, but are interested to explore further.

During our time we will explore different ways we can access a spaciousness that is transformative, silences that are content-filled, and engage with the God whose “first language was silence” (St John of the Cross).
