[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, go on a silent retreat.  The Jesuits offer them.  You don't have to go to any of the religious offerings, but can just go and relax and listen.  [/quote]

Not OP, but this is interesting. Have you been to one? Can you tell us more about them?[/quote]

Yes, I  have been to a couple.  Jesuits are known to host them.  They are usually in a nice countryside setting so you have lots of opportunity to walk around and be alone in nature.  They provide all meals and lodging, and all participants adhere to strict silence, except if you choose to participate in spiritual direction with one of the Jesuits.  It is a very interesting  experience to be somewhere with a group of people and just be present with them and not have to engage in small talk.  The idea is everyone is on their own spiritual journey there, so you can read whatever you want or I'm sure the Jesuits will have books there and suggested readings if you are so inclined.  You can make it as Christian as you want or as generally spiritual as you want.  Here is one near us:  https://loyolaonthepotomac.com/retreatsprograms/ignatian-weekend-retreat-schedule/
