Deep Listening
An exploration of sonic awareness as a pathway to receptivity and collective care. Each session is an invitation to embodied improvisation with place and presence, cultivating the ability to hear both the world around us and what resonates within.

Rooted in the work of queer Latinx composer and sound innovator Pauline Oliveros, Deep Listening® explores mindfulness through the lens of listening. Oliveros’ sonic meditations offer participants of all backgrounds prompts for co-creating new and compelling sound experiences. Also incorporating movement and dreamwork (developed by IONE and Heloise Gold), our practice grows awareness in service of creativity and connection.

Tools: Sonic Meditation, Mindfulness, Vocalization, Dreamwork, Movement, Kinetic Awareness

From Grace

I'm a certified Deep Listening® facilitator, artist, vibrational essence practitioner, and psychotherapist based in Hudson, NY.  Both my group work and 1:1 practices are grounded in the belief that we can create change by developing the capacity to listen to and connect with ourselves, each other, ancestors, non-human kin, dreams, the land, and the often-unperceived. My facilitation style is warm, playful, and inclusive. I encourage lifting off judgment from yourself and others, and adapting practices as necessary to meet yourself in the moment.
