#9: Pockets of Silence with Aryne Sheppard

The Soulspace Podcast

Slowing down and sitting with silence seems to be the antithesis of our modern life. However, the reality of our lives or what we have deemed as reality is often incongruent with our nature. With this week's episode, we dive into the importance of cultivating silence. Our guest, Aryne Sheppard, has been practicing Vipassana meditation since 1999. Following, a major mental health crisis in her twenties, Aryne shares with us how she discovered the power of inner exploration. Currently, Aryne continues to juggle her modern life as an educator and counselor while attending regular silent meditation retreats every six months. She holds an MA in Philosophy and an MA in Adult Education specializing in Transformative Learning. Aryne has been working in the areas of personal growth and wellness, leadership development, and counseling for over 12 years. We hope this week's episode inspires to find your own pockets of silence!
