Join us for an evening of deep listening and healing soundwaves. Sound artist Nicholas Maloney, aka Blanket Swimming, will be creating an immersive sonic space using synthesizers, guitar, field recordings, sine tones, and other sound sources that will invite participants to let go into a deep state of relaxation and healing. We will encourage participants to sit or lie down in any comfortable position while the waves of ambient music wash over you.

After a brief introduction, the instrumental sound immersion will begin. We will encourage participants to engage in deep listening. Deep listening involves going below the surface of what is heard, expanding to the whole field of sound while finding focus. This is the way to connect with the acoustic environment, all that inhabits it, and all that there is. Through deep listening, one may tap into the true nature of their interconnectedness and interbeing. Through this practice, guided by the healing sound waves, participants will leave feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and more in touch with their inner peace.
