R. Murray Schafer recently passed away on August 14th 2021. If you're someone who works with sound or enjoys sound art or experimental music–or you've just thrown around the word “soundscape”–you've probably engaged with his intellectual legacy. Schafer was one of Canada's most influential avant-garde composers. He was also the creator of acoustic ecology, the founder of the World Soundscape Project, and the author of the classic book The Soundscape: Our Sonic Environment and the Tuning of the World. He brought a musician's ear to the field of ecology and he brought an ecological perspective to music. And he bequeathed us a generative vocabulary for talking about and thinking about sound.  This is the first of a two-part series on R. Murray Schafer. Next month, we speak with two of Schafer's critics–Mitchell Akiyama and Jonathan Sterne. But today, we speak with three of Schafer's associates to understand the person, his creative works, and his lasting impact on the study of sound: Ellen Waterman, ethnomusicologist, flutist, and Schafer expert Hildegard Westerkamp, soundscape composer and member of the World Soundscape Project Eric Leonardson, sound artist and President of the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology Creative works heard on today's show: Listen, a short film on Schafer, directed by David New.

Our new managing editor, Lindsey Cornett sat down with the writer and illustrator of the brand-new "Book of Belonging" collection of Bible stories for children. They discuss the problems and difficulties with many "traditional" children's bibles, how the two of them met and decided to collaborate on this project, what sets this project apart from other approaches, and how the process has impacted them personally.

Fall into a deep and restful sleep with this relaxing forest rain soundscape. The gentle sound of raindrops hitting the wet ground of a lush green forest create a soothing white noise background. The white noise effect of rain is useful for covering up distracting sounds like loud neighbors, street noise, a snoring partner, or even tinnitus (ringing of the ears).

I love to enter the woods find a path and walk with Jesus. It's a place of life and connection for me. And I know it is for Lore as well. Lore Wilbert spent time reflecting on the forest floor for her latest book The Understory.  In this conversation, Lore and I talk about finding identity and community through change and loss.Laurie talks about learning from nature by observing decay and emergence on the forest floor, seeing death as part of life's cycle. In times of loss, Lore encourages us to feel emotions fully and trust that God is still at work, like nutrients from fallen trees nourishing new growth and that moving forward through change requires accepting the "new normal" and focusing on being present each day rather than clinging to the past. So join us as we find rootedness and resilience from the forest floor.

October 9, 2023 We can get ourselves in a dark forest, sit on the floor, and gather some really wet, unusable twigs and try to start a fire. That's our mind solving all of our problems with all of our own faculties and resources. In this pause, we will GET OUT of that forest floor, allowing the flame of the Spirit to bring us up to the top of the mountain where we can clearly see and experience freedom. Listening portion today: I waited patiently for the Lord He inclined and heard my cry He brought me out of the pit Out of the miry clay I will sing, sing a new song You set my feet upon a rock And made my footsteps firm I will sing, sing a new song.

Introducing plants into our indoor environments can have an incredible impact on health, wellbeing and general disposition.  Biophilic Design has been gaining traction in the design industry for several years now, and if you're not familiar with this term, its essentially describing the innate human connection that we have with our natural world.  And in relation to our indoor environments, it is, in essence bringing the outside in.  Which is the perfect segway to introduce today's guest, Ryan McQuerry of Auckland based interior plantscape firm, Outside In.  As budding entrepreneur and lover of horticulture and nature, Ryan co-founded Outside In, in 2014.    Ryan and his team have been creating some incredible indoor plantscapes, describing the physical, emotional and profitable impact of introducing plants into our city workplaces, against the ability for us to access nature in our dense, built environments.   One of these projects is for litigation firm Meredith Connell in the heart of Auckland's CBD.  Inspired by the stress reducing, calm inducing great walks of New Zealand, Meredith Connell's CEO wanted to recreate this immersive experience in their CBD office, for all their employees.  Incorporating a custom designed Forest Floor and temperature-controlled forest terrarium, spanning 2 floors and 1,400sqm, this project is an incredible example of what is possible. Ryan shares with us the inspiration for the project, the technical aspects of the install along with the observed and reported impact that the space has had on their employees.  The first of its kind, this project is sure not to be the last to embrace immersive interior plantscapes.   LINKS Get your copy of Mel's new Book “The Next Workplace; Designing Dynamic Environments that Inspire Human Potential”   Connect with the Outside In; Website | Email | Instagram | LinkedIn | Facebook | Meredith Connell Workplace Connect with Mel Email | Insta |

“Thinking only of the negative aspect doesn't help to find solutions and it destroys peace of mind,” he writes. “I love smiles, and my wish is to see more smiles, real smiles. … If we want those smiles, we must create the reasons that make them appear.”  - The Dalai LamaIn our practice, a bit of humor can be a mechanism for going deeper. Rather than doubt, judge or over-analyze, what happens if we simply smile, shake our heads at the wildness of it all and trust our inner experiences?We tip the scales towards kindnessWe balance the ocean of our bodies, And, we remind ourselves that we simply can't see or know the whole story.Join me for today's mini meditation practice and be sure to listen to the full story in last week's episode “Lying on the Forest Floor part 3.These mini meditations are meant to support a daily home practice.

This meditation series was crafted in response to a simple and mind-blowing statement that ‘humus, human and humor' all share the same root word.In part 1, we explored the concept that we are earth come to consciousness {humus}. In part 2, we looked at what it means to be human; to be as boundless as the ocean {human}. And now, in part 3 we look at humor in life and our meditation practice. The term humor is actually derived from ‘humoral medicine' of the ancient Greeks, which taught that the balance of fluids in the human body controlled human health and emotion. {Thank you Wikipedia!}.With humor, we invite balance. This is such a valuable sentiment to explore because so much of life feels like it is screaming at us to FIX ALL THE PROBLEMS.Humor is the reminder that our brains simply can't see the whole picture and it is ok that we don't have all the answers. Humor is the invitation to not be totally consumed by the drama.The Dalai Lama, a revered spiritual leader and, according to him, a professional laugher, writes“Thinking only of the negative aspect doesn't help to find solutions and it destroys peace of mind,” he writes. “I love smiles, and my wish is to see more smiles, real smiles. … If we want those smiles, we must create the reasons that make them appear.”  In our practice, a bit of humor can be a mechanism for going deeper. Rather than doubt, judge or over-analyze, what happens if we simply smile, shake our heads at the wildness of it all and trust our inner experiences?We tip the scales towards kindnessWe balance the ocean of our bodies, And, we remind ourselves that we simply can't see or know the whole story.Join me for today's episode of The Mindful Minute for a discussion on humor and a 20-minute guided meditation practice. If you enjoyed today's episode, please consider making a one-time or monthly donation to support the growth of this labor of love.

From Humus to Human Being Today's talk is an exploration of what it is to be human. To be earth come to consciousness. In many languages, cultures and depth practices, there is a word or phrase that means something along the lines of “I am that I am”.In Sanskrit, So Ham means “I am that I am”. In Hebrew, Hineni means “I am here”. These words & phrases point to something vast and boundless. Something bigger than just ‘me'. These words, phrases and ideas are pointing to something that is easily overlooked by the brilliance of our own minds. Our minds tend to create a little movie that stars me and only me. We get so caught up in this unfolding drama that we miss the simplistic beauty of BEING. Here I am. I am that I am.It can feel like we are our minds. Our thoughts. But our mind actually has a multiplicity of layers.Our minds are capable of comprehending:The object of cognition: I think a thought.The process of cognition: I witness the thought as a happening inside my mind.Itself as the cognizant force: I am able to understand that the mind is having this thought as part of but not entirely of my being.Who is this “cognizant force”?Who is here?Who is that?When we lie on the forest floor, we allow ourselves to take up MORE space than we usually do. We are more than a single thought. Or a single brain. We are the whole forest. The boundless ocean.

Recently, I listened to an interview with Suzanne Simard, author of Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest.She talks so beautifully about how forests are wired for wisdom and how trees that we previously thought were drowning out young saplings are actually helping them to thrive, much like a grandmother-mother-child relationship.Within this interview, a comment was made that Humus, Human and Humor all share the same root word, and I can't stop thinking about the truths hidden in this simple fact. The root ‘Hum' in Latin means ‘ground'. ‘Humus' means earth or ground.In a recent meditation, the Franciscan priest and author Richard Rohr wrote: “Being human means acknowledging that we're made from the earth and will return to the earth. We are earth that has come to consciousness.In all the ancient teachings, we read that the body is a microcosm of the universe. There is both poetry and science in these statements. When we acknowledge the truth of this connection between earth and body, it is as if we are entering a deep forest.We must have both the courage to enter the forest as well as the willingness to feed the intuitive senses that will carry us safely through.“We are earth come to consciousness.”This month's meditation series is an exploration of lying on the forest floor, and the connection between humus, human, and humor.

Permission to put down the rake. It's a win-win for you and the forest eco-system this fall.

Vi siete mai chiesti cosa significa ascoltare? Esistono strumenti che possono aiutarci a percepire in modo più chiaro i suoni che ci circondano?State tranquilli, queste sono due delle tante domande che in molti si sono posti e, per comprendere meglio il mondo delle registrazioni ambientali, dobbiamo, prima di tutto capire che cos'è il field recording e da dove tutto è iniziato.In questo episodio ho cercato di condensare i momenti più salienti della storia del field recording, a partire dalle prime invenzioni di metà '800 alle nuove tecniche introdotte intorno al 1950.Non ho voluto inserire troppo carne sul fuoco per evitare di bruciarmi molti argomenti che, secondo me, devono essere trattati singolarmente. In questo episodio voglio semplicemente raccontarvi come il modo di ascoltare e di percepire il paesaggio sonoro è cambiato negli anni, grazie all'innovazione tecnologica, all'introduzione di nuove tecniche e, di come noi umani abbiamo contribuito alla nascita di nuovi suoni e rumori.Che l'ascolto sia con voi.Fonti, registrazioni Scott e Edison, Artisti:"Music!

R. Murray Schafer recently passed away on August 14th 2021. If you're someone who works with sound or enjoys sound art or experimental music--or you've just thrown around the word "soundscape"--you've probably engaged with his intellectual legacy. Schafer was one of Canada's most influential avant-garde composers. He was also the creator of acoustic ecology, the founder of the World Soundscape Project, and the author of the classic book The Soundscape: Our Sonic Environment and the Tuning of the World. He brought a musician's ear to the field of ecology and he brought an ecological perspective to music. And he bequeathed us a generative vocabulary for talking about and thinking about sound. This is the first of a two-part series on R. Murray Schafer. Next month, we speak with two of Schafer's critics--Mitchell Akiyama and Jonathan Sterne. But today, we speak with three of Schafer's associates to understand the person, his creative works, and his lasting impact on the study of sound: Ellen Waterman, ethnomusicologist, flutist, and Schafer expertHildegard Westerkamp, soundscape composer and member of the World Soundscape ProjectEric Leonardson, sound artist and President of the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology Creative works heard on today's show: Listen, a short film on Schafer, directed by David New.Snowforms, R.

Kim Hooper, Meredith Resnick and Dr. Huong Diep are co-authors of All The Love, Healing Your Heart and Finding Meaning After Pregnancy Loss. They are authors of other previously published books and after Kim's multiple losses she decided to write a book to share her personal story but wanted it to have a therapeutic component. The authors shared their vision behind the book. Kim felt that her co-authors could add insight that she would not have, and they would be able to help make sense of the things she experienced in her personal journey. She wanted the book to be like a companion guide for people that have experienced loss. The book is very comprehensive and is one place where people can receive a variety of needs, educational, psychological and connect with someone that has been through it. There was a tremendous amount of research put into this book. It is sprinkled with quotes, clinical resources, and information from published papers. After listening to this podcast make sure you purchase the book for yourself and for a family member or friend that has experienced loss. The book can be purchased on Amazon.com or Bookshop.org Their book website: alltheloveafterloss.com Social media: @allthelovetalk (Instagram and Twitter) About the Authors: Kim Hooper is co-author of All the Love: Healing Your Heart and Finding Meaning After Pregnancy Loss.

Early spring leaves are beginning to emerge, but the forest floor wildflowers are soaking up as much sun as they can before being shaded by the leaf canopy. Warblers are beginning to return north in search of caterpillars, their spring food source, but the early leaf growth may cause caterpillars to cocoon before the warblers arrive. And a notable lack of rain yet in May has put the Northland back into a fire hazard condition.

In this week's episode, host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C interviews two guests on a topic that is infrequently discussed in Western culture: the trauma of miscarriage and pregnancy loss. Today you will hear Laura talking with friends Dr. Huong Diep, a trauma-focused psychologist in California, and author Kim Hooper, who co-wrote a new book entitled "All the Love: Healing Your Heart and Finding Meaning After Pregnancy Loss" together with Meredith Resnick.  Kim shares her own experience with miscarriages and the loss of her son, and Huong talks about how pregnancy losses are often overlooked as traumatic experiences, and how they can impact partners and relationships among a diverse spectrum of identities. Huong Diep is a trilingual (English/Spanish/Vietnamese) board-certified psychologist specializing in global mental health utilizing a culturally sensitive, trauma-informed model that promotes strength and resiliency. She graduated from UCLA and the University of Denver with an emphasis in International Disaster Psychology. Dr. Diep served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in the rural mountains of Peru and has lived, worked, and traveled to over 40 countries. She is passionate about the intersection of language, gender, and culture and providing gender-affirming care to the LGBTQ+ community. Resources Kim Hooper is the author of four novels—People Who Knew Me (2016), Cherry Blossoms (2018), Tiny (2019), and All the Acorns on the Forest Floor (2021). She lives in Southern California with her husband, daughter, and a collection of pets.

Close your eyes: you're in a beautiful forest in the springtime. Listen to the crackling leaves and snapping twigs beneath your feet. Today's guided meditation takes you on a walk in the woods. Meditation Bites is a guided meditation podcast. Instead of completely clearing your mind, you'll focus your attention on a story. This type of meditation isn't just a bedtime story - it's about actively visualising yourself as the main character -- a kind of out of body experience where you escape to another world. Each episode starts with some gentle relaxation to get you in the mood before diving in. So shut the door, unplug, and take a deep breath. 

Have you ever thought about trading with other artists instead of just using money? Today's guest is Tessa Robertson, (Brea's sister!) an absolutely incredible woman, ceramicist, creative, artist, and free-spirt here to inspire us all in so many ways. Tessa’s creativity derives from her experiences in nature, and her interest in ceramics was sparked in the height of COVID-19, when her area went into isolation. What began as a hobby, has now grown into something much more...her online Instagram business The Forest Floor. But Tessa doesn’t limit herself to ceramics. In this episode she talks about her love for expressing herself creatively through many mediums and her openness to learning and trying new things that bring her joy. She talks about her passion for trading and collaborating with other artists to build a stronger creative community and how an encounter with a bear in Canada inspired the name and ethos of her brand. Follow Tessa's nature-inspired creative journey: https://www.instagram.com/theforestfloor__/ Thank you so much for listening to this week's episode of Art-Work.

We’re dazzled, and sometimes frazzled, by our encounters with contemporary art. Marc Mayer, former director of the National Gallery of Canada, draws back the curtain to show what’s behind the art that seduces — and confounds — us.

Violinist and cellist Rob and Verity Simmons from Estilo String Quartet are my guests this episode for my first ever remote (boozy) podcast recording. Listen to us chat about being festive despite lockdown, performing live by the seat of your pants via social media, imparting a bit of knowledge to one’s offspring from time to time (i.e. homeschooling), and WINE – things we’ve learnt from the “forest floor” from a qualified drinker.  Find out also what they can’t live without and miss during these restricted times.This episode was brought to you after possibly the strangest birthday celebration of my life (albeit still rather pleasant). Don’t miss this episode’s Music College Didn’t Prepare Me segment, involving sight-reading, comedians, and karaoke (sounds like the title for a web series). Like what you hear?

Partant à l'encontre de ses propres principes de la Cacophonie divine, le Black a cette curieuse tendance à vouloir exploiter la délicatesse harmonique. Le vrombissement de la distorsion rude et le combatif tapage de la batterie sont éliminés, et les mélodies tantôt déstabilisantes et discordantes, tantôt mélancoliques et touchantes, sont mises en évidence. De ce fait, l'impact purement artistique est d'autant plus fort, et notre noire transcendance sublimement plus profonde et élevée, voir réalisable.

“”Ti adoro~I Adore You”- Moss Spores on the Forest Floor” by Moose Winans is licensed under CC BY-NC 2.0 / modified from original Today’s Question: What can you do today to make yourself a more hospitable dwelling place for the Holy Spirit?Br. Geoffrey explains in today’s video that the Holy Spirit can be seen as a comforter, but also as the whisper that prods us into action, sending us into the world to become more authentic. It is the ‘Spirit of Truth’ who wants us to live a more truthful and authentic life.I’ve found that the more truthful I am with God, myself and others, the more I enjoy life. When there aren’t secrets to be held, and lies to be covered up, I can look at each situation and encounter with clear vision, even stepping away to see what Jesus sees. It is the Holy Spirit that breathes in and breathes out within me, taking in God’s goodness and then spreading it out, hopefully like a contagious disease!!I really don’t long to be comforted; I’d rather be prodded by the Spirit to be God’s ambassador in the world.Please enter the discussion: What can you do today to make yourself a more hospitable dwelling place for the Holy Spirit?Link to the SSJE video: http://meetingjesusinjohn.org/2018/01/01/week-5-day-5-accompanied-by-the-spirit/Blessings, my friend,Agatha
