The contrast between the silent stretches and the chanting sessions made both feel more intense.
A 7-day programme alternating periods of noble silence with sessions of monastery-style group chanting.
Silence and sound deliberately alternated, using each to sharpen appreciation of the other.
Guests wanting variety within a contemplative week rather than pure silence throughout.
