For this New Moon Deep Listening Weekend, three certified Deep Listening facilitators - Ayelet Rose Gottlieb, Kathy Kennedy, and Katie Down - offer a rich series of experiences inspired by the work of feminist composer Pauline Oliveros.

This two-day, in-person workshop, preceded by an online introduction and a concert, invites participants to reconnect with their voices, bodies, and listening awareness through Deep Listening practices, vocal improvisation, sound walks, guided meditations, and free writing. No prior experience with Deep Listening or music is required—only curiosity and openness.

What Is Deep Listening?
Deep Listening is a practice developed by feminist composer Pauline Oliveros that cultivates heightened awareness of sound, self, and environment. Through simple, often playful practices, including text scores (short written instructions that invite collective attention and sound-making), participants are encouraged to listen deeply to themselves, others, and the world.
