Sound, Vibration, and Wellbeing: A Critical Look at Sound Healing Practices
Sunday, May 5 | 10 am – 12 pm

A discussion of deep listening practices, vibration, wellbeing and cure through the resonance of sound from three different perspectives. Guests Anjeline de Dios (Manila, Philippines), Anne Bourne (Toronto, Ontario), and Rosary Spence (Toronto, Ontario) will discuss their practices in terms of how we define and create wellbeing, and how listening and sound offer connection to both human and nonhuman communities. The artists draw on their varied practices in deep listening, subtle perception, improvisation, chant, and Cree singing traditions.

Love-Labour-Listen | A Workshop on the Practice and Politics of Singing for Others
Sunday, May 5 | 1 – 3 pm

In this workshop, Anjeline de Dios draws from her research into, and practice of, singing for others to playfully investigate questions of cultural identity, emotion/affect, and service labour. The session will collectively explore and reflect on song as a medium of inner and inter-subjective awareness, and a spatial practice that traverses disparate contexts of experimental sound art, meditation, everyday entertainment, and intimate belonging. All ages and levels of musical ability are welcome. Register here >
