There truly is so much strength to be found in silence. And I can’t wait to attend the retreat (much needed!).

This is so timely, Sabrina! Finding solace, guidance, and peace within. Realizing how often we use words just out of habit, to fill space and avoid discomfort. I attended my first vipassana retreat last January at Spirit Rock Meditation center in Marin and oh boy, it was such a powerful and life-changing experience whose effects are still unfolding... I’d be curious to hear how your meditation routine looks like, if you feel like sharing. And yes please, I’d love a weekly meditation with you! Sending love from Italy 💙

Oh wow, I’m so glad you got to experience your first Vipassana 🧘🏽‍♀️ it’s such a powerful (and challenging) experience! And happy to hear you’re interested in joining the Live meditations. I’m aiming to do them in the morning (California time) so it’ll be afternoon/ evening for you in Italy 😉 I’ll be sending a link over the weekend 🪷

Ce poème de Neruda ! La première chose qu'il m'est venu en tête à la lecture du titre : les concerts de silences dans le film La belle verte de Coline Serraut, certainement inspirée de 4'33 de John Cage....merci en tout cas pour ces belles découvertes.
