We create spaces and experiences to reconnect to oneself and replenish, through the virtues of silence and nature.
Silence is a resource like the air we breathe and the water we drink. It is beneficial to our bodies and to our brains, a natural stress-reliever which regenerates our cells, increases creativity, and improves our mood.
Manifesto
Silence aims to enable each one of us to retreat from the turmoil of everyday life, to reconnect to our inner worlds, through the healing virtues of silence and harmony with nature.
Silence is a way of living mindfully, of returning to the simplicity which is the source of our wellbeing and happiness.
Silence is a celebration of the unhurried, gentle rhythm of nature, a way for us to step away from the humdrum of everyday life, to take care of ourselves and feel fully alive.
Silence is a movement of free men and women, who reclaim their rights not to be interrupted by ceaseless stimuli and to regain control over their lives and their minds.
The Three Values of Silence
Humanity
Silence is a collective of optimistic and authentic human beings, driven by the same aspiration to lead others towards a more peaceful, healthy, and ecologically virtuous world. The thriving of human beings, with their distinctive needs, sensitivity and health is at the heart of our mission.
Conscience
For Silence, reconnecting with our interiority enables us to reach a higher degree of consciousness, which is indispensable to living in harmony with ourselves and our environment. Mindfulness is one of our tools and requires the practice of training our minds to observe the present moment, free from any judgements of right and wrong.
Simplicity
Reconnecting with yourself means a rediscovery of our original nature, of our pure essence. As a proponent of the minimalist and “slow life” movements, Silence invites us to deconstruct some of our habits so as to create new ones in alignment with our essential being.
Origin
Before sound, there was silence.
Before cities, there was nature.
Silence is a movement created by Jeanne Dujardin, inspired by her many travels across the desert, both literally and figuratively.
Moved by a quest for freedom and a desire to awaken consciousness, she quit her career as an Artistic Director and launched an entrepreneurial venture by creating Silence in 2019. Silence had been her ally for a long time when she decided to give it its rightful place at the heart of her life, and to spread it to as many people as possible.
Today, inspired by her experience of many silent retreats, including the famous 10-day Vipassana, and with a degree in ayurvedic nutrition and therapy, Jeanne leads the movement with her dedicated team of talented teachers and assistants.
