I was recently at an Art of Hosting retreat where every day from 4 to 5pm was silent hour (part of the practice of the lodge we were staying at). After each full day of learning and exploration I was grateful for that time of solitude and peace. I didn't always use it for reflection time - but regardless it was so valuable.

Interesting from a design perspective - having to wrap up and segue into a silent hour. Interesting how there are so few times like that in our day-to-day where both us and the world around us are silent. My brain and my being loved it far more than I could have imagined!

As always, thanks for sharing your thoughts so they might spark thinking and doing in others...
