DEEP LISTENING is a philosophy and practice developed by pioneering composer Pauline Oliveros that cultivates appreciation of sound, silence and �sounding� on a heightened level, expanding the potential for connection and interaction with one�s environment, technology and others in music, related arts, and everyday life.

Deep Listening practice includes bodywork, sonic meditations, interactive performance, listening to the sounds of daily life, nature, one�s own thoughts, imagination and dreams, and listening to listening itself. The workshop at Lila will include listening on the inside and outside, gentle movement, breathing exercises, and gentle to raucous sounding.

DEEP LISTENING can enhance depth and detail of practice for artists, meditators, teachers, community organizers, ecologists, and parents. Deep Listening is for anyone interested in creativity, wellbeing, relaxation, excitement and connection with their immediate environment. No experience necessary � everyone welcome.

�Tina will take you to the heart of sounding.� � Pauline Oliveros
