Qigong, Listening and our Biosphere
Practicing qigong, listening to the sounds of plants and to our environment and cultivating ecological thinking may help us to tune in to the rhythms of our biosphere and deepen the connection between self/human and multispecies/worlds.
Qigong
The practice includes the Yi Jin Jing Qigong, the 11 Chen Tai Chi form, the first part of the long (108) Yang form, Qigong breathing exercises and Silk reeling a principle method of Taichi.
Listening
Active listening to our environments is a practice that cultivates focus, concentration and awareness.
Inspired by Pauline Olivero’s quantum listening a listening to listening in order to attune to our bodies, the earth and one another and John Cage, I use environmental recordings, and a biosonification device which translates complex real-time sensor data from plants into musical notes and controls. The sonic aura of the plants may help us to develop a deeper understanding of our relation with the non human world.
Biosphere
Is there a philosophy of our biosphere? an ecological thought?
This is an invitation to reflect on the biggest challenge humanity is facing today: global warming, how do we adapt, how do we share and how do we care: How can we live on a damaged planet. It matters

Sessions are open to all genders, colours, abilities looking to redefine the narrative of wellbeing in the Anthropocene.
