Sound is often used to move us somewhere else. Toward calm. Toward clarity. Toward a different state. But sound does not need to create change in order to be supportive. In this work, sound is allowed to remain with what is already here. It does not pull the body forward or ask it to soften.

Trauma teaches the body to stay alert, even when the mind wants rest. Because of this, practices that ask the body to override its signals — even gently — can feel unsafe. My listening philosophy does not ask the body to cooperate. It asks the practitioner to listen longer.
