Episode #33 Benefits of Silence

Balanced By Beth

Tune into this episode to learn the Benefits of Silence from Sarah Dornbos. She started a regular practice of silence 15 years ago, and shares with us how this has positively guided her life. Sarah explains why silence is a necessary practice in her weekly routine, and describes the discernment she has gained from this practice. Silence has health benefits for our mind and body, so join our conversation to learn some helpful resources that could improve your well-being. Sarah has a beautiful way of looking at the world as well as insightful wisdom for us all to gain. I highly recommend this episode.

Sarah Dornbos is a certified spiritual director on staff at Christian Assembly church. She is the director of “Kids Hope” a mentoring program for at-risk kids and families in Los Angeles Unified School District, and is pursuing a masters in Social Justice.
