Silent City: A Quiet Community

Silent City is about taking a break from one of life’s most basic responsibilities: having to think of what to say. This shared silence isn’t about leaving the city behind – it’s about practicing curiosity within it. Here, silence isn’t absence; it’s presence. Prepare to notice.

Held on the sun-soaked rooftop at Crossroads Hotel, this stripped-down session invites you to rise above the noise – literally. With the familiar hum of Kansas City below, you’ll ease into 60 minutes of curated quiet, guided by Dr. Brittany Conners of Optimistic Theory.

What to Expect:

• Arrive and take in the open rooftop enveloped in city views
• A focused moment to gather, set intention, and connect
• 30 minutes of silence – no phones, no words, just space to be with yourself and the city.
• An optional time to share reflections or simply sit with the quiet
• A closing moment – leave a note, or sign up for the next session
• Support our Silent City Council and submit feedback about your experience

Silent City is a shared silence – some may read, some may write, some may simply breathe. Join the communty in an intentional pause to retreat, energize, and notice what’s been there the whole time.
