Listening is a practice of awe-making, realm-hopping, deep creative work, relationship building.
In an age where our attention is pulled to far too many places at far too great a speed, it is a tremendous thing to offer our attention.
It is a tremendous thing to feel vibrational information, to lean into the possibility of a coherent, harmonic sentient experience.
What do you love to listen to?
Intentional sound offerings and attentive listening practices have the potential to, at once, bring us deeper into our bodies while making room for the imaginal, the poetic, the cosmic.
What is created when we give room to sense, to witness, to imagine ourselves and all of existence at once?

CHARLIE LOVES TO LISTEN.
A queer sound maker, certified Deep Listening® practitioner, and somatic facilitator, they hold embodied experiences that weave somatic frameworks, electro-acoustic soundscape creation, attentional ecology, Deep Listening practices, and imagination work.
Charlie has been leading immersive sound experiences since 2012, and has been leading trainings in the art of embodied sound meditation creation since 2015. As an artist, they work inside the mediums of movement, performance poetry, photography, and sound/sonic art.
Charlie’s offerings are nervous system informed and rooted in curiosity, science, and creative awe through listening. They are deeply orientated to a world of liberation and self-realization of all sentient beings, and believes that collective listening and spaces for slowness are vital for imagining new worlds and orienting to awe.
Charlie offers somatic sound experiences, retreats, and trainings globally. They currently reside as an uninvited settler on the stolen, ancestral territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən speaking peoples, colonially known today as Victoria, BC.

“Charlie’s teaching style is immersive, gentle, and inclusive. It was one of the first learning experiences where I felt I could truly be myself and be fully accepted, which was deeply empowering. Although I was slightly concerned about the long days as an introvert, time became irrelevant when we were learning, connecting, creating, practicing deep listening, and bathing in beautiful sonic meditations. It was moving to witness how deeply the training resonated with each person.”

“Charlie is a space holder unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. [Their] sound experiences are such a breath of fresh air. The way they hold space is so magical and reverent to the art of listening, while also grounded and inclusive to so many different types of attendees. Go to their sessions, you won’t regret it.”

“Charlie’s training is a beautiful exploration and immersion. Whilst being exquisitely creative and poetically subtle, it is also scientifically rigorous and effectively disciplined. I would highly recommend this training to anyone even the slightest bit curious about sound making, connecting with the wider landscape more deeply or space holding in original and receptive ways.”
