| Description: |
Over the past three decades, Pico Iyer has made more than a hundred journeys to a small hermitage overlooking the sea in Big Sur, California. Though neither a Christian nor a member of any religious group, his life has been profoundly transformed by time spent there in silence.
Iyer explores the stillness and joy he discovers at the monastery, even as his own life is marked by upheaval: homes burn, a parent dies and a daughter is diagnosed with cancer. Alongside his own reflections, he shares insights from others who have found strength through adversity and inwardness, revealing how solitude can deepen our capacity for community and compassion.
Offering a rare outsider's view of monastic life, Iyer celebrates those who preserve spaces for quiet reflection. This is a timeless meditation on silence, and what it can teach us about living, loving and dying. |
