What if silence could awaken us to our community? In this episode, we’re joined by ⁠Phileena Nikole to help us explore the practice of silence. Phileena shares why we fear silence, why sitting in it is easier with others and how we can weave silence into our everyday.

For nearly 20 years, Phileena has served in more than 70 countries building community among survivors of human trafficking, child soldiers and war brides. Today she works as a spiritual director, helping people lead more fulfilling lives. Phileena is the author of the book ⁠Mindful Silence⁠.

To learn more about Phileena’s contemplative spirituality practice, we invite you to watch this video series.
