Silence Foundation, The

Description of Organization

The Silence Foundation understands that in our noisy and fast-paced culture, Silence might be initially uncomfortable or even threatening to some. That’s why their team enjoys introducing mindful Silence in ways that include the arts, writing, playing, and playfully interacting, rather than only sitting on a cushion. Their training programs are enlivening and designed to reach a wide range of individuals. Silence might very well represent a new and radical type of diplomacy. As people gather in silence-inspired Sharing Circles, we can all learn methods of deep listening that open doors of compassion and insight. From this field, we can find common ground for problem-solving and resilience in the face of challenges. Any organization can ask for their help to create such a circle and use it as a start-up help, a periodic boost, or an on-going program.
