Retreat in Place XI - Silence, Sound, Speech


How do we listen to the sound of our voice? How can we listen to our words as we speak them? What is it to be with others in silence?

As society re-opens, let us pause and rest in silence for 24 hours.

Join Patricia Leavitt, Craig Shepard, and Frank Sheldon for listening exercises and sharing moments from our day.

For: musicians, artists, professionals, laborers, home-makers, both beginners and those wishing to make a new beginning.
