Silence is... with Justin Zorn & Leigh Marz

What’s the deepest silence you’ve ever known? 

Today, the world is louder than ever. It’s not just the noise in our ears, but the noise on our screens and in our heads, so, this question may be difficult to answer.  Yet, it’s a question that could contain a key to solving some of the most serious personal and even global challenges that we face. 

IN THIS EPISODE:

• What is Silence?  What is the definition of silence and is it possible to experience absolute silence?  We discuss the meaning of silence and how it can be experienced.
  
• Types of Silence – There are many types of silence, it is not just the absence of noise.  We discuss the different understandings and applications of silence across extraordinarily diverse people and backgrounds.
  
• Why write a book about silence?  Justin and Leigh explain the inspiration behind "Golden" and why silence is so important to us as individuals and as a world.
