Deb Todd Wheeler is the artist behind one of the first sculptures to greet guests of Alnoba, Engagement/Shelter Walking Path. In this special evening event, Deb will guide you through exercises in Deep Listening and Sound Collection, practices that expand our listening range, raise awareness and boost our creative spirit.

About Sound Collecting

In Deep Listening exercises, you’ll utilize energy work, body work, breathing techniques, vocalizing, listening and dreamwork to calm the mind, bringing awareness to the body and its energy circulation. The exercises promote opening yourself to the entire continuum of sound that surrounds us, a receptivity that is essential for creative activity.

In this gathering, Deb will lead you through exercises that help you tune in, examining your own awareness and your self-imposed limitations as you explore the local “sonisphere”.
