The Estes Valley Library held events during the month of January around the theme of solitude because this year the community chose the book, "The Stranger in the Woods" to be the book that everyone would read and discuss which is about a man who leaves home to live as a hermit for over two decades. Since I spend a lot of time in silence and solitude and have found them to be foundational for my life, I was asked to come and speak about my experience on the subject.
Here is my presentation on silence and solitude.
