Bruce Davis is one of the world’s leading authors on the power of silence. For the past 12 years, he has been teaching and guiding people in the art of silence at the world-renowned retreat centers that he and his wife Ruth have created in Assisi, Italy, and at the gateway to the California Wine Country. Bruce believes that “as soon as we enter into silence, there are gifts which renew and strengthen our essential self. These gifts are qualities which enlighten and bring real joy. I call these qualities ‘muscles of the heart.’ Entering into silence is like a gentle aerobic workout, exercising our heart muscles, reaffirming the best of life.” This interview originally aired on Empower Radio.
