The Art of Listening:

Nervous System Restoration with Sound Current Healing and Reflective Art Praxes

Engage in the Art of Listening to nourish your nervous system, cultivate communication skills, and build your stamina to face life’s challenges. Join others to tap into both personal and collective creative wisdom. Expect to relax, create and play.

During each 2-hour session you will be invited to prepare for a deep relaxation where you can listen to the healing sound current of the gong. Then choose to keep resting while listening, or join in to chant a few sacred songs: the poetry of the Sikh gurus. Afterwards, a short reflective art practice that includes doodling and journaling will be offered as well as time for group sharing.

Song sheet (with translations) will be provided. Please dress in warm layers and bring your journal and favorite writing implements. You may also want to bring a water bottle.
