Sounds of the Forest: A Free Audio Archive Gathers the Sounds of Forests from All Over the World | Open Culture
Some of my fondest memories are of hiking the Olympic National Forest in Washington State and the forests of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, seeking the kind of silence one can only find in busy ecosystems full of birds, insects, woodland creatures, rustling leaves, etc. Source: Sounds of the Forest: A Free Audio Archive Gathers

44. Michelle Poirier Brown, You Might Be Sorry You Read This
No, I’m not sorry I read this powerful and haunting book. It’s not an easy read, and (please consider this a trigger warning, although I don’t intend to go into details) I wouldn’t expect it to be: the subject matter, which includes child sexual abuse, ought to be difficult. If it weren’t, something would be … Continue reading 44. Michelle Poirier Brown, You Might Be Sorry You Read This →
• Marcher autour du silence !
Avec L’Atelier Tiers-Lieu Amplepuis, nous avons expérimenté une déambulation sensorielle écoutante, polymorphe, comme je les adore. Cinq kilomètres dans une campagne très belle, pentue, avec de magnifiques passages en forêt, de superbes vues panoramiques, d’incroyables paysages très vallonnés . Une thématique autour du silence, ou plutôt des silences. Une mise en condition, se sentir ancré […]

Silence
Silent walk with Gary Hoover, May 13, 2016 When I started this project I anticipated that the walks would move more towards silence and observation instead of conversation, that anticipation has proven to be consistently misplaced. Gary has a longstanding practice of silent/ meditative walking and I also gravitate towards solitary silent walks. That said, […]

Communicative forms of walking
A group walk for all in Prespa. For most people, participating in events has the prominent intention of meeting others, whatever the focus of that event may be. On the other hand, one of the main aims of WAC International Encounters / Conference seems to be the forming of a community. In line with the
What questions are better asked from Prespa than elsewhere? (remote)
Talk/Walk:A talk filled with many questions followed by a wordless walkThe talk can be given remotely, the walk can only be taken in Prespa. We are animate forms of life, when walking we insert ourselves amongst other animate forms of life as rhythms, we walk in concert. Choreographer Maxine Sheets-Johnstone argues that Movement is our
