The Listening Body

In a world where the eyes dominate, this workshop is designed to re-tune to the listening body and help us recalibrate the senses. Through (re)listening we can learn to be aware of the infinite vibrations around us, those within and those we give out. With this awareness and focusing on external and internal frequencies, we have the power to heal and strengthen individual listening and eventually expand to a collective sense. In this workshop, participants will learn listening techniques designed to help us survive the material realities of life with softness and love.

No previous experience necessary. All welcome.
