Resonance: A Deep Listening, Somatic Retreat

Join Charlie and Kiko for an offering of Deep Listening and feeling as we gather in the belly of Spring on Cortes Island.

From sound baths, reflective journaling, meditative movement practices, and Somatic Dreaming® – we venture to explore and expand our relationship to ways of listening, receiving, and generating creative awe.

During our time together we will open to the magic of deep listening through rest, play, and collaboration. Attuning to the soundscape of the island, we will weave sound meditations, instrumentation, communal sound making practices, nature walks, playful Deep Listening® explorations, and somatic offerings to create spaciousness in our nervous systems and to strengthen the vital connection we have to our voices, each other and the natural world.

Cortes Island offers vibrant, elemental soundscapes and views to take your breath away. We dream that this retreat will orient you toward the beauty and potent creativity of your inner and outer worlds.
