Spoken like someone who's never tried it (Deep Listening).
Deep Listening is more than just listening to rocks and trees. It's about
listening to other people and learning from them. It also incorporated
discussions of dreams, meditation, and Tai Chi. We stayed in a convent, so
the food was homegrown (by the nuns) and I had a pretty peaceful, relaxing
stay. Not to mention the added benefit of meeting all sorts of musicians
(and not) from all walks of life. My favorite part was sitting in my car
with four strangers, listening to their compositions and conversations. I'm
not suggesting that the experience is for everyone, but I think it can be a
very good one.
Jeez, listening and making music used to be a social event...
