Five minutes of Silence by Kim V. Goldsmith

A sacred ritual of overt silence in the forest. It is an act of intention, introspection, and interruption of time, gestures, our bodies, speech, and thoughts, in memory of what has been lost and what we’re losing. « Conscious acts of silence offer space for reflection, connection and care—for us and the more-than-human world we share the world with. » Leaning into the silence, we have an opportunity to take a collective vow to respect, restore and regenerate our forests.
