About the Event
This weekly meditation is designed for our hardworking volunteers and direct caregivers to have a soft landing in silence.
Part One
The first 30 minutes will be a simple Silent Meditation
No experience necessary. Just come, sit, and breathe. We’ll begin with a few gentle prompts to help settle in, followed by about 20 minutes of shared silence. You’re welcome to drop in or slip out quietly if needed. This is a space to rest, to reset, to explore stillness together. It might be peaceful. It might be boring. It might be exactly what you didn’t know you needed.
Part Two
The Second 30 minutes will be exploring Silent Service
Mindful tending to the Sanctuary and Lighthouse, folding towels, sweeping floors, watering plants, doing dishes—with presence and attention. Tending to the stillness within you while quietly caring for the space around you.
This is not combined with direct care. It’s simply showing up in silence to help care for the house. No talking, no rush, no to-do list to finish.
To help the community recognize your intention to stay quiet, Will will provide a button or ribbon to show you are in silence.
This kind of service can open us to subtle things—emotional tones, energetic shifts, the quiet language of a house at rest. A way of tuning in, without words. An exploration of silence, through action.
Curious? Come try one—or both.
"The quieter you become, the more you can hear."
