Making room to listen.
Facilitated group experiences where live music, nature sounds, guided prompts, and intentional room design create space for deeper listening and attention.
A room designed for listening
ListenStill is a guided listening experience built around sound and reflection.
The experience includes live string music, nature sounds, guided prompts, reflection cards, floor or chair seating, and subtle lighting. Each element is chosen to support intentional pause and mindful attention.
Who it is for
ListenStill is for individuals and groups who want a meaningful pause.
It is well-suited for:
Public-session attendees seeking a calm, reflective experience
Workplaces and organizations planning staff support or community care
Retreat hosts looking for an arts-based listening practice
Leadership groups exploring attention, timing, and presence
Libraries, arts organizations, and community programs
Healthcare-adjacent groups seeking a nonclinical reflective experience
What happens in a session

Settle
A brief orientation helps participants understand what will happen and what is expected of them.
Listen
Live music, nature sounds, or guided sound design create a shared field of attention.
Notice
Short prompts invite participants to observe what they hear, where their attention goes, and what shifts over time.
Reflect

For organizations
Bring ListenStill to your workplace, community group, retreat, or private gathering.
ListenStill can support groups that need a thoughtful pause in the middle of busy seasons, staff gatherings, leadership retreats, community programs, or reflective events.
