Friends of Silence is a non-profit endeavor to facilitate others in reverencing silence, prayer, contemplation, the Divine Guest, and the Oneness of all creation as well as to encourage the life-giving empowerment that derives from the Silence.
"Is there enough Silence for the Word to be heard?" questioned T.S. Eliot in his beautiful "Ash Wednesday" poem. All too often the answer is NO! And where a need is not being met, small groups of individuals rise up to answer the Cry.
Nan Merrill, a woman of wisdom and compassion, began Friends of Silence in Detroit in 1987 as an urban contemplative community welcoming individuals of all faiths and cultures. We have grown from 40 to an international community at large of over 6,000 pray-ers. We are linked in the Silence, in heart-prayer, and in friendship to many religious and spiritual communities as well as the various F.O.S. groups that are emerging in prisons, businesses, and community centers throughout the United States and around the world. Recognizing the efficacy of silence, we meet together or in the solitude of our homes to hold our family and neighbors, our cities and country, our world and planet in silence and prayer.

Enota Glace is a place of magic and beauty, nestled on a mountainside thirteen and one-half miles from White Sulpher Springs, West Virginia. The atmosphere is filled with Grace and wonder - a perfect setting for introspection and self-development. Currently there is a classroom, a picnic area, hiking trails, a playground, and a place for ceremony. The miniature lighthouse is the inspiration for our centre's logo. It represents the intention with which the centre is being created: to assist all who would follow their own Light in an energy of humility and Grace.

Our Centre - Enota Glace is a budding conference and retreat centre. Our intention is to host three conference weekends a year: spring, summer, and fall. Each conference will focus upon some aspect of self development and include guest speakers, experiential learning, meditation, relaxation and enjoyment, as well as opportunities to meet and network with like minded individuals.

Our Vision - As participants in the co-creation/evolution of Enota Glace, we believe that all Units of Consciousness are part of a Greater Force with a definite purpose for Being. We offer a Spiritual Retreat Centre where people may choose to learn about themselves, their relationship to each other, the world, the Universe and the Greater Whole of Existence/The All/Great Is/God.
Our Mission - Providing many levels of experience, to incorporate research and development, teaching by example through Discipline, Faith, Trust, Compassion, Forgiveness, Joy, Humility, Discernment/Detachment and remembering that we are all students first.
The Three Components
The teaching philosophy of Enota Glace has three components:
MOTIVATION spiritual: The Divine Spark within is the engine which drives us to achieve and know the greatness in all.
EDUCATION mental: To teach, learn and share knowledge.
APPLICATION physical: Integrate knowledge led by wisdom to heighten receptivity.
