The power of silence: rediscovering peace in nature

Gamping in Toscana

We live immersed in constant noise: notifications, traffic, voices, thoughts. Even when we give ourselves free time, we often fill it with stimuli. But there is a language we have forgotten, and that is that of silence: a true, deep silence, which is not absence, but presence, full, grounded, which only nature can offer.


Silence is not empty

In the forest, in a field, beside a stream, silence is never total; on the contrary, it is made of rustling, of distant birdsong, of the wind in the leaves. It is a living silence, which invites you to listen, to slow down, to get back in touch with your inner self. Something special happens in natural silence: the mind becomes quiet, thoughts become less cluttered, the body breathes with more freedom; it is as if everything returns to its place, as if we rediscover a forgotten balance.


Benefits of silence

More and more studies confirm that exposure to silence has profoundly beneficial effects:

  • Reduces stress and anxiety
  • Improves memory and concentration
  • Promotes regeneration of brain cells
  • Helps you sleep better
  • Strengthens the parasympathetic nervous system (that of calmness and digestion)
But in addition to the data, there is the direct experience those who allow themselves moments of silence in nature come back transformed, more present, lighter, truer.


Silence in nature: an experience to be lived

At Due Cuori e una Yurta, silence is a constant presence: it is part of the experience, it is what envelops the yurt in the morning, when the only sound is that of the wind or the occasional deer in the vicinity. It is the setting for moments of meditation, slow walks, deep breaths in the shade of the trees. Here silence is not imposed, but spontaneous. There is no need to “be silent”, because it is the place itself that offers it, that makes it natural, easy, nourishing; it is a silence that welcomes, that heals, that transforms.


If you feel the need to disconnect, to clear your mind, to feel the beat of the Earth again, come and visit us at Due Cuori e una Yurta: a silence that speaks, and that will teach you to really listen, awaits you.
