This workshop will focus on intentional listening and mindfulness. We will use some of the tools of meditation practice along with an approach to experiencing sound that encourages each participant to monitor their own listening practice.
There will be an introduction to some basic tools of musicality and a discussion of the nature of active listening. Then there will be a roughly 40-minute live immersion in sounds, primarily percussion and guitars. Afterward, there will be a reflection on the experience. Participants can expect to be mildly challenged by the demands of a deeper approach to listening but also comforted by an approach to sound that aims to soothe and still our monkey minds.
You may leave feeling:
- More present and mentally clear
- Deeply relaxed yet alert
- Reconnected to your senses
- Nourished by a unique, meditative musical journey
- More aware of the benefits of deep listening
