The Silence Experiment.

This is a year long experiment in silence.

7 minutes of silence a day, described in 77 words.

Want to be involved? Invite me to spend silent time with you.

The constant rules:

• Silent time is not necessarily still time.
• There is no need for the setting to be silent, only the participants.
• There are only two starting restrictions on most silent activity – it must be legal, and there must be no sexual intent in any physical contact.
• Additionally, if you’re a stranger suggesting an activity, it must take place in a public place.

The evolving rules:

• The 1st of each month is a solo silence
• The 7th of each month is a solo silence in the dark
• the 14th of each month is a solo silence that attempts stillness
• the 21st of the month is a solo silence in a yoga pose
• the 28th of the month is a solo silence that must be walking
• on a random day of each month take something from a previous solo silence, adapt and repeat it
• on a random day of each month the silence must take place in, under or with water
• on two consecutive days of each month a silence must be repeated
