Littoral Listening 2021-2022: in practice, an archive
In 2021 the FEELed Lab started a semi-regular, online convening of interested folks from different and same time zones.

Listening, Attuning

How might listening be an act of compassion, a notice of refusal, a way to learn what is enough?How can we attune though bodies, extended in and across other bodies of difference?
