Deep listening
Issue 347 • November/December 2024

 

In this issue of Resurgence & Ecologist, we explore the meaning and experience of deep listening. The more we listen, the more we learn from the stories we hear back.

 

We introduce the pioneering work of Pauline Oliveros who recorded the ambient sounds around her deep in a cave, and who coined the term ‘Deep Listening’ as a practice.

 

Edward Davey gives us powerful reasons to stay actively hopeful after such a challenging year, an NHS psychologist tells us about an initiative called Spaces for Listening, and artist Rachael Mellors shares how she listens to both the Embodied Earth and her Soul Ancestors to create art that is firmly rooted in the planet’s cycles and recycles.

 

Throughout this issue, we invite you to cultivate the practice of Deep Listening by paying attention to that in the natural world that we may otherwise be too busy to hear calling to us.
