The contemplative waits in silence and when he is answered,
it is not so much by a word that bursts into his silence.
It is by this silence itself suddenly, inexplicably,
revealing itself to him as a word of great power.Thomas Merton
We offer six day retreats in the Valley of Daha, giving you the opportunity to be silent in nature. The opportunity to really see the world and listen to the messages which are so easily lost in our life of turmoil. Silence proclaims the beauty and grandeur of life more eloquently than the tongue.
