Deep Listening Workshop

Tune in to the sounds that compose your world. Join us for Deep Listening Workshops, based on the practice of Deep Listening developed by composer and sound pioneer Pauline Oliveros. Participants explore the difference between passive hearing and active listening, and delve into other aspects of the practice such as sonic meditations, body awareness, and listening to the sounds of daily life, nature, one’s own thoughts, imagination, and dreams. No previous experience needed.
