Online Sonic Meditation Workshop after Pauline Oliveros

As part of the festival »Feminale of Music« there will be an online workshop on »Sonic Meditation« based on the American avant-garde composer, improviser and activist Pauline Oliveros. The workshop is open to everyone and an introduction to The Deep Listening® practice.

The »Online Sonic Meditation Workshop« will guide the participants through kinetic awareness, a shared listening mediation, and a communal sounding experience, to expand the own awareness of the environment, externally and internally, in a collaborative, experimental and playful way, for personal and community growth. No experience is necessary, just an open willingness to participate!

The Deep Listening® practice is a unique and collaborative way to share a sense of expanded consciousness through listening practice, making sound, moving, and dream sharing. Meditative listening exercises will deepen your awareness of your environment, inside and out. The movement practice works with moving energy, grounded in Chi Gung. Group sound making is facilitated using Oliveros’ own »Sonic Meditations« - recipes for listening and making sound in a group. Pauline Oliveros was an enthusiastic advocate of connecting, listening, sounding and meditating via online platforms. Therefore her approach leading up to a deeper listening through all layers of consciousness is outmost suitable as a shared practice despite current physical distancing.
