THE MONASTERY

Retreat: Meditations from a Monastery goes in search of inner peace in three monasteries around Britain, and provides a welcome retreat from the hectic pace of our daily lives. The monks live largely in silence and in the tradition of Slow TV the programmes have no commentary or background music to interfere with the tranquility.
