Deep Listening workshops

 

I host workshops on Deep Listening—a gentle yet radical practice of paying attention founded by American composer and musician Pauline Oliveros. 

Listening is deeply connected to silence. Our world is loud and full of stimuli constantly pulling at us. But how do we deal with silence, or absence?

Becoming still creates space: space in the mind, space for others, space to feel more deeply. This can feel uncomfortable or confronting, yet practicing stillness can strengthen our connection to ourselves and to the world around us. In this sense, slowing down can spark inner and energetic movement.

By learning to appreciate subtle, slow transformations, we nurture a more sustainable sense of well-being and compassion. Revaluing slowness and the everyday opens a way of listening with rather than listening to. The self and the other are not separate.

During the workshops, we explore this together through subtle movement, listening and imagination exercises, as well as by sharing experiences.
