The Portland Grief House, 7906 N Fessenden St, Portland, OR 97203, USA

What

Deep Listening is a creative, somatic-based practice that centers gentle movement, group sounding, and dream exploration. It's a living practice that enfolds everything our community brings to it, whether via dance, yoga, qi gong, a studied musical practice, or a beginner's mind.


All who feel comfortable sharing and flowing in a space together are welcome. This practice can bring up a lot of feelings, so bring a blanket and a journal. Wear clothes you're comfortable moving in.


There will be a mixture of guided somatic practices, meditations, time to journal, and opportunities for brief shares. Folklorically, this session will tap into themes of seasonal mythology (e.g. Persephone) and plants that may help us throughout the autumn into winter.
