Near the Twin Cities, a hermitage invites all to embrace the silence

In the Isanti County woods, austere cabins at the Pacem in Terris center offer visitors silence, solitude and simplicity. Some people have profound spiritual experiences, some struggle with the silence while others simply crash and sleep for hours.

If i didn’t already have access to an isolated cabin, for this exact type of vacation. I think i could get over all the religuous iconography in order to access this kind of silence and solitude only an hour outside a major metro area. “Don’t talk to me” is an actual rule instead of me just being weird and rude.
