Sanctuaries of Silence

Silence just might be on the verge of extinction and acoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton believes that even the most remote corners of the globe are impacted by noise pollution. In “Sanctuaries of Silence,” join Hempton on an immersive listening journey into Olympic National Park, one of the quietest places in North America.

this is very, very beautiful and very true ... "Silence is the Presence of Everything" .... "when I listen, I disappear" ...

[@karenrouth2056]

Absolutely beautiful… moving my phone to see all around 360 degrees was really magical, how clever! I’ve never seen that before! Thank you Gordon and Chris and Team, with gratitude from peaceful rural countryside 🙏

"Silence isn't the absence of something, but the presence of everything!" The Qintessence of Being 🙏❤

[@avrilbarker4570]

I live in a city and the noise is relentless, I crave to go somewhere quiet or natural, your recordings of the forest and sea gave me a few moments of bliss ❤️

[@mariannewolf57]

Same here. I live in Los Angeles, and the overwhelming noise is permanent. But thank God I will move to Austria soon.

[@martignybourg9605]

Thank Youu! But you know god has nothin to do with that?!🤔 Cheers and blessings

[@pedrotorrado9465]

Thank you I just closed my eyes and listen. Wonderful For the first time i listen a documentary as a micro instead of watching trhough my ilusions

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

I live in a suburb which backs on the Christiana river in DE. There’s a park across the way and a marsh. It’s so quiet…and the river is lovely. We see fox, beaver, deer…or at least deer tracks…they swim over at night. Its in a bird migration area as well…we have herons, all kinds of song birds, ducks, etc. It’s a modest house, which suits our needs. We bought it for the river.

When we listen, we become silent....love this anagram...

I still can't believe,you can see every thing in the video as a camera of your phone and you move it anywhere you want.it is my first time see thing like this

[@rollingsol5331]

A very beautiful, poignant, immersive experience. Thank you very much.

[@juliemartinezgarcia]

Amazing. Gordon Hempton's work was introduced to me in a Positive Psychology course. It was for one of our earlier units - attentiveness. I remember walking through the city, listening to the quietest place on earth, with my noise-cancelling headphones. Silly me

[@alpanapatel4703]

The only true Silence is within.......... very deep within....... a great Yogi once expressed it thus, ' In moments when the inner lamps are lit..... And life's cherished guests are left outside..... Our spirit sits alone and speaks to its gulfs.'.......... that must be a silence that is Full....... filled with everything....... filled with eternity itself. This video of natural sounds is exceptionally beautiful. Thank You 😊

I spent all of last night having to listen to obnoxious humans blasting off illegal fireworks/c-4. Music and kareoke all night and into the morning...a bunch of drunks/drug addicts celebrating...don't move to Miami if you crave silence...I can say that, while I don't hate anyone, I do very much Hate what they do to violate others peace of mind...

[@marineimbert9357]

Mille mercis pour cette magnifique video. Le fait qu'il n'y ait plus un seul endroit sur la planète sans bruit anthropique est affolant. J'aime aussi beaucoup vos mots: When I listen, I disappear....Quand j'ecoute, je disparais....Je ne manquerai pas d'essayer de disparaître la prochaine fois que je vais me promener dans la forêt....

[@juanitablum7803]

I loved your video. We lived very close to nature for a year, in a Nature Reserve on a mountain. That really made us appreciate the sound and the silences in nature. We realized when the conditions for a storm became favourible, certain animals would start calling in the rain.. First the rubber banded frog, then the cycadas, then the cuckoo. And then the rain would come. Sometimes during favourible conditions I would even play the recorded sound of the frog and the other 2 animals would join in. If you can really listen to nature where there are not many man made sounds, you would understand that sound literally creates. Therefore it would really be a good thing if humans could make more harmonious and less discordant sounds. Lots of love.

6:28 "And I think what I enjoy most about listening is that I disappear". Quite true. Couldn't we get a similar alleviating wholesome state while meditating in the middle of a noisy environment ?

[@louchesimon]

Hey, I just ask myself whith the same question. I think yes because if you try to meditate in the middle of a noisy environment you'r like a microphone, and all sounds have a equal value, so you disappear with all the noise and sound. But to realized it you have to not analyse all the sounds, just receive them !

[@goamgoam]

Simply beautiful. I'm totally agree. I go to nature to forget myself.

[@rosalieheller8204]

I do too

[@telugumusic3204]

Gordon, I live in India. I have become so sensitive to sound that It hurts me mentally and physically when I go to even a small sized city. The unbearable honking, unnecessary loud conversations, religious establishments blaring their sound machines. I feel like l am an animal in a human who can't survive this urban noise we created. I hope I can find a solution to all of this and rise above.

[@sumchi3690]

🌏Videos like this (VR) will be the only way in the future where we can experience nature while living in a distopiyan world🌏

[@longfellow4]

As much as I agree with the beauty of natures' silence - our modern world is special to listen in on too. I wouldn't throw it away as bad. 😊

Thanks Emmanuel. I love your work very much!!! I am very sensitive to noise and I literally feel its energy in my being... I am very affected by the noise of cities, alarms, horns... it is a tremendous pollution. Thanks for what you do! I'm going to look for your activities online even though my English is very basic.

Did I just touched The sound of silence? In the naked light I saw, 10,000 people maybe more: people talking without speaking (telepathy - one of the 12 5D gifts). People hearing with out listening. People writing songs, that voices never shared. Don't you dare disturb The sound of silence! Hear my words that I might teach you, S

Here in NoCal it gets pretty quiet at night. The soundscape here is relatively free of aircraft, and not too much traffic either. Even the animals are quieting down now that we're moving away from spring.

If a tree falls in a forest with noone around to hear it.. does it make a sound?

[@dscottfr]

I have always loved silence. I find Jesus in silence. It’s a whole different dimension. My generation grew up with a transistor radio on their ear and I tried but I hated the noise of rock music. I have gone into restaurants with old fashioned jute boxes and people are always putting coins in it and playing noise after noise. I have always said they need to have records of silence for 5 minutes. I would fill the thing up with coins for silence. Maybe a deep cave could suffice.

[@marieindia8116]

Not the Jesus who frequently promised eternal punishment/hell. Or said people can come to the father only through him, excluding all other religions. He spoke of hell/eternal punishment around 70 times, according to scholars, more than anyone in the Bible. Why, I wonder. Not what I look for in silence.
