Workshop: hear(t)

The Hear(t) Workshop is designed to enhance your awareness of your senses and feelings, and develop a deeper connection with nonhuman nature, through encounters with trees. This workshop explores listening to your heart, sensations and feelings, and using video techniques to connect with trees. The workshop provides instructions to guide you through the process of co-creating a video with a tree. The workshop incorporates the Hear(t) guided awareness exercise (below).

Note: If you don’t want to make a video, you can simply follow the listening and observational exercises at the beginning of the workshop, and listen to the Hear(t) guided awareness exercise (below).

The Hear(t) Guided Awareness exercise below is intended to be listened to when you’re out in the field, before doing multi-species work, land-based creation or field recording. Please download Soundcloud onto your device, and listen to this exercise with headphones when you’re on site. It will help you relax your mind and body, heighten your awareness and feel connected to the natural systems around you. Narrated by Keira Madsen.
