As Within, So Without
“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart.
Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” - Carl Jung
We invite you to sit with yourself and listen to how you are feeling today.

Disclaimer: The listening exercise isn’t meant to replace professional mental health counseling and care. If you require support please reach out to your health care provider/support network and remember to be gentle with yourself!

- Sit with the sounds.

it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” - Carl Jung

We have also made a 15-minute piece with the emotions and sounds listed here. It is our sonic interpretation of our emotions. There is also an exquisite corpse we made - our own Frankenstein’s monster - to lighten the mood, a little. You can check out the piece here.
*This is an exercise in self-awareness. Our hope beyond the pandemic is to live in a world where people are more self-aware and are unafraid of acknowledging their emotions. We hope our listening piece encourages a sense of intimacy between the listener and the myriad of emotions that may present themselves.
