Awareness in Sound at Watertown Public Library

Awareness in Sound is an immersive 45–60 minute immersive and participatory auditory recital that centers the healing and grounding power of mindful listening. In a world filled with constant noise, speed, and pressure, this session offers space to pause, breathe, and reconnect with one’s internal landscape.

During the session, participants will be given the space to become more aware of themselves and engage in visualization work, activating their imagination to have a more internalized sense of the feeling and sensation responses to sound.

As the recital progresses, participants explore sensory awareness and experiment with guided improvisation. The recital concludes with closing reflections and practical take-aways for integrating mindful listening into everyday life.

Led by COOS Teaching Artist Matt Williams II, this recital is ideal for students, community groups, arts organizations, workplaces, and anyone seeking new tools for self-care, creativity, and internal grounding.
