Stillness in the Mountain
Sit in the silence of the heights until the noise within settles.
A glimpse of the experience
There is a particular quality of stillness that the mountains hold. On this experience, you will walk to a quiet viewpoint and then simply sit—without task, without destination.
Guided gently into stillness, you will allow the vastness around you to meet the vastness within. The mountain asks nothing of you but presence. In return, it offers a silence that the mind cannot manufacture.
