Live like the Dutch and create space for peaceful moments in your hectic life with the calming addition of silence into your daily routine.
 
Life can get hectic, as we continuously hop from one thing to another. Days are often filled with too much noise, anxiety,  and confusion. What do you do when the life you created isn’t what you expected it to be? What can you do to slow it all down?
 
Author Mirjam van der Vegt encourages each of us to focus on stillness and literal silence, creating space for moments of peace in our crazed everyday lives.
 
Originally published in Dutch, Stilte reveals tips and tricks to bring mindfulness and calmness into your personal daily practice. Rooted deep in the Dutch culture, this book will teach you how to experience the benefits of silence. Just as the Dutch do!

Former journalist, Mirjam van der Vegt has been intrigued by silence and its use in the monastic traditions. During a difficult time in her life, she decided to dedicate herself to unraveling the mysteries surrounding silence. Over the years she has written several books on the topic. She has led numerous retreats and training sessions in which participants learn to bring mindfulness, peace, and contemplation into their personal daily practice.
