I had a conversation with a good friend this evening about an old friend she has that went on a week long quiet retreat. It was so quiet that the participants couldnt say anything to eachother for any reason. It may sound innefficient or weird or purposeless, but I get it .
When I was in Korea last year, one of the best parts about the trip was that I had a break from my need to communicate verbally. When the option is taken out of the equation you start to realize all the stupid things you say and begin to wonder why you do.
I think you can learn more from the quiet than the noise- check it out and let me know how goes
