Bruce Davis
Bruce Davis, a globally respected psychologist, has spent the last three decades promoting the inner peace that was the cornerstone of these two saint's lives. He and his wife Ruth began leading retreats in 1983, and eventually came to open the Assisi Retreat Center, which was called one of the world's 10 best by both Travel and Leisure Magazine and CNN. Today, they operate Silent Stay, a new retreat center on a stunning hillside near Napa, California, where many come to turn off their electronic tethers for meditation, quiet and inner exploration. Davis is considered one of the world's leading authorities on the gifts of silence, and living a simple life. His other bestselling books include The Magical Child Within You, The Heart of Healing, Monastery Without Walls, My Little Flowers, and The Calling of Joy. He is currently a frequent contributor to Huffington Post, as well as a host of other spiritual and ecological publications. www.silentstay.com
