“Silence is a profound melody, for those who can hear it above all the noise.” Socrates

Educational seminar: MASTERING THE SKILL OF SILENCE 

Place and date: Slovenia, Ljubljana, 24-28th of November 2025

Seminar promotes the idea that Silence (its understanding and mastering) is becoming one of the central human meta-skills. It highlights that the phenomenon of silence needs to be addressed today more than ever before in history. This is for the simple reason that modern society functions based on audiovisual images of existence through which we perceive today's reality. The fundamental challenge we face today, therefore, is how to deal with the omnipresence of this audiovisual reality (especially due to the coming mixed era of physical and virtual reality). This is why we need to stimulate a greater state of silence in our lives.

 

Why is the developing skill of silence today important? 

  • As a lever for creativity 

  • As a skill so we don't have to talk so much  

  • As a counterpoint to the increasing importance of words and images 

  • As a lever for self-knowledge 

  • As a lever to find out how mentally programmed we are

  • As a lever to increase self-satisfaction 

  • As a lever for confronting one's own identity 

  • As a lever to strengthen visionary leadership as opposed to traditional management

  • As a lever to shift our thinking from a focus on the past and the future to the present 

  • As a tool to balance our mind and body

  • As a lever to play the inner post-call, which will also give the young person an identity background that can no longer rely on traditional identity foundations

  • AT LAST, to face easier the emerging digital era and co-existence better with AI’s development
