Walk so silently that the bottoms of your feet become ears – Pauline Oliveros
These sessions will each begin with an introduction to the research and work of composer Pauline Oliveros, who founded concepts such as ‘deep listening’, teaching us new ways to focus our attention on sound. Artist Leslie Deere will facilitate a chance to interact with Oliveros’ work through listening activities. This will be followed by a calming and immersive sound bath experience, where Leslie will play a variety of instruments inviting guests to decelerate and tune-in.
There will be two more opportunities to attend a Sound Bath & Listening Workshop in the new year: Thursday 11th January – 5:30pm-7pm and Saturday 10th February – 2pm-3:30pm.

Accessibility
For this event we encourage you to find your most comfortable position to experience it. Whether that’s sitting in a chair or wheelchair, lying on a bean bag or bringing along your own yoga mat and blanket to lie on.
Some people find Sound Baths to be an emotional experience, the library will be open for half an hour after the session finishes and you are very welcome to stay and have a hot drink during that time.
Glasgow Women’s Library is wheelchair accessible, with lifts to the first floor and the Mezzanine Floor. We have accessible toilets and all the bathrooms are individual closed stalls and are gender neutral. Our larger Events Space is fitted with an induction loop. A portable induction loop is also available. Find more information on Accessibility at GWL or contact us and we will be very happy to offer assistance.
