Deep listening, Intentional Gathering, Thoughtful Questioning
For this year's festival, we will partner with the outdoor art series floating and TreePeople, the largest environmental movement headquartered in Southern California. It takes place at the scenic and serene TreePeople high above LA on Mulholland Drive.
Darkness Sounding explores how sound and music shape our understanding of the world. It convenes around mindfulness and nature, featuring drone, minimal, and ambient music. Through deep listening, intentional gathering, and thoughtful questioning, we will foster awareness and understanding to expand our connections to ourselves, each other, and the natural world.
