The Encountering Silence Podcast speaks to Quiet Gardens Founder and Patron, Rev Phillip Roderick.

“Silence is a weaving, it’s like a tapestry or a pattern of presence; it recalls me; but it’s not like a block, it’s more like a river, a flow, a patterning… silence is for me a resource, an aperture, a journey…” — Philip Roderick

“Silence and solitude are precursors to service. They can seem to be escapist, but in fact a true silence and a true solitude lead to a full expression of care and love; so the call to love and heal is integrally bound up with the call to be hidden and alone.” — Philip Roderick
