Stillness

Richard Mahler was a successful writer and journalist living life in the fast lane. He was happily married but found himself increasingly unwilling to accept the distracting exterior clamour of his life. He began practicing meditation and yoga and eventually left LA for the relative calm of Santa Fe. As he began to realize the dramatic benefits of diminishing the chaos that engulfed him, he sought an even more extreme adventure of solitude - a three-month retreat in the snowy Tusas Mountains of New Mexico.
