Five 'slow radio' soundscapes, featuring themes from monastic life. Tonight, in the fourth in the series, monks from Downside, Belmont and Pluscarden Abbeys meditate on the subject of meditation, against a background of chant and sounds evocative of the peace and serenity of the monastery.
The programmes allow the listener to appreciate life at a monk's pace, reflecting the gentleness and calm of monastic life, presenting an alternative to the hectic pace of modern daily life. Listeners will hear musings from the monks themselves, interspersed with their singing and sounds from the natural world. The series is available for download as a podcast. Show less
