I’d like to invite you to take part in an experiment I’m hosting. It’s an inquiry into silence. The plan is very simple: we will gather together on Zoom and be silent together, for an hour.

This might sound like a wonderful idea to you, or a complete waste of your time. Both responses – and anything in between – are welcome, and potentially meaningful 🙂. So even if this doesn’t call to you, I’d love to know what you think and feel about it.

So, please join me at 4pm UK time on Thursday, March 27 for an hour of silence.

The invitation is to use the silence in whatever way you feel called to. You might meditate, write, draw, do some ironing – who knows. You might find it intolerable and leave. That’s fine. The only two rules are: you must do it silently (I will mute everyone) and if you join more than five minutes late, I will not let you in (as we should respect the silence).

Maybe there will be lots of us. Maybe just me. But however many people show up, and whatever we do, we will do it in silence.
