FCC’s Practical Spirituality Series

Deep Listening with Members of Ghost Ensemble

Deep Listening, the radically inclusive practice developed by Pauline Oliveros, explores the difference between the involuntary nature of hearing and the conscious nature of listening. The practice includes bodywork, sonic meditations, and interactive performance, as well as listening to the sounds of daily life, nature, one’s own thoughts, imagination, and dreams. It cultivates a heightened awareness of the sonic environment, both external and internal, and promotes experimentation, improvisation, collaboration, playfulness, and other creative skills vital to personal and community growth. This workshop is led by longtime Oliveros collaborator Ben Richter in cooperation with Ghost Ensemble and the Center for Deep Listening.
