The silence of the monastery

Benedictine monks meditate on the nature of silence against a background of chant and sounds that evoke the peace and serenity of the monastery.

Monks from Downside, Belmont and Pluscarden Abbeys meditate on the nature of silence, against a background of chant and sounds that evoke the peace and serenity of the monastery.

This episode of Slow Radio was originally podcasted in October 2017. We're grateful to the monks of Pluscarden Abbey for access to their collections of plainsong.
