Palotai Gabriella

Dr. Palotai Gabriella is a psychiatrist and a pioneering figure in promoting the practice of silence through her development of the Csendkurzus (Silence Course) at the Pannonhalmi Főapátság. Since 2012, she has guided participants through a transformative four-day retreat focused on deep reflection, meditation, and disconnection from the noise of daily life. Her work emphasizes the mental health benefits of silence, encouraging individuals, both believers and non-believers, to confront personal challenges and make critical life decisions in a serene environment.
