Lessons in Listening
Let’s meet Orpheus in his purest, most essential state, before the myths embodied him he was wind and sound, the song and animating force of the world. This is where he was before and still is now.
These practices bring you in touch with one of the two main essences of Orpheus - sound. He is also present in the animated movement of the natural world, we will come to this in next month’s practice, but for now we will focus on sound.
To get in touch with Orpheus we must listen, listen as deeply as we can, then deepen again.
These practices will hone your listening ear and refine how you listen, as well as making you aware of how sounds affect you.
If you are creatively inclined, this month you can use any of these practices as spring boards for your creativity. Dance to the sounds, write about them, sketch them abstractly, record them or make a soundscape or a song, whatever is your leaning.
