Creative Listening Circles (CLCs) are supportive communities for people engaged in creative practice. Initially developed during the COVID-19 pandemic, CLCs addressed the need for community, artistic expression, and healing—particularly for musicians, practitioners in other artistic domains, and music and arts educators.
In this workshop we will discuss the three primary roots of CLC practice:
1) artistic processes and creative practices,
2) contemplative practices including mindfulness and nonviolent communication, and
3) education practice.
We will attempt to locate CLCs in relation to work in community music. We’ll then facilitate a circle so that workshop participants have the opportunity to experience a CLC directly. Finally there will be time for discussion and questions forward.
