Each place has its own face, its own
message, its own gift.
The face of the Island of San Giulio is
contemplation, its message is
silence, its gift is peace.
In the heart of this place there is a
secret that draws into the sphere of
the divine: prayer.
All those who thirst for
beauty and infinity will be able
find here the homeland of their hearts.
The Abbess
The streets of a town recount
many things. Its story, its
culture, its people. The Way of the Island
it is a special way.
It starts from one point and returns to that point. It begins with us and comes back to us.
It starts in the noise and returns to silence.
It starts from the outside and goes towards the inside.
It is the journey of a lifetime.
It is starting from oneself and returning to oneself. Returning to what we are, in order to
give what we are. We have
thrown two seeds.
The way of silence and the way of
meditation. Two new ways of the
universal language. Two new ways
for the people of Orta and for all
people.

The Way of silence
Listen to the silence.
Listen to the water, to the wind, to your steps...
In silence you accept and understand.
In silence, you welcome everything.
Silence is the language of love.
Silence is the peace of the self.
Silence is music and harmony.
Silence is truth and prayer.
In silence you meet the Master.
In silence you breathe God.
The Way of meditation
Every journey begins personally.
The walls are in the mind.
Open your being.
The moment is at this time, here, now.
Abandon "me" and "mine."
Accept yourself, grow, mature.
Be simple, be yourself.
The wise man is wrong and smiles.
If you come to be who you are, you are everything.
When you are aware,
the journey is over.
