◆ These teachings came into being during the time Davinia Lacht spent at the monastic community of Taiz in France. For over a year, she reconciled silences, service and community life, ridding herself of any inner voices thatdid not speak of love.

◆ Davinia Lacht was born in Valencia, Spain, and is a trained translator and interpreter of Spanish, English and German. When she was twenty-three, she experienced a sudden spiritual awakening triggered by the death of her brother. Over the years, she has deepened in her observation and understanding of the changes that took place inside her.

She now dedicates her life to translating those voices that spoke to her in silence. Her spiritual message does not pertain to any one religion or tradition, calling for the union of everyone, beyond names. In her writings and talks, she seeks to share an evermore emphatic and simple message:

We are destined to live from the love that inevitably emerges when thevoices of the world havebeen quieted. It is now time to return to a balancebetween "being" and "doing", to co-create a new earth whereharmony reigns. It is only in this way that will we experience serene joy in our hearts.
