WHAT DOES AN ATTUNEMENT & SOUND SESSION LOOK LIKE?

While the weeks and musical genres differ, there is a familiar arc that will weave through the series.

The repetition lives in the way we enter and orient, the attunement practices, the conversations that lead us into listening, times of active and non-active listening, and the inquiries that guide each week.

You can think of this series as deconstructing different methods of listening, from listening rooms, ambient explorations, live music shows, club nights, and sound baths, creating a sound + attunement collage.

Doors open at 6 PM. Arrive when you can.

We’ll take on the somatic invitation of slowing and orienting to the space, getting yourself a cup of tea (the lovely Anna of Green Muse Herbs has created a custom blend for the series), and setting yourself up for the session.

Feel free to bring items that accentuate your comfort: layers, a mat, pillow, sheepskin, or other comfort nest items. We’ll have some on hand as well.

We’ll begin with an opening attunement practice and deepening inquiries, followed by a conversation on the night’s musical themes led by one of our in-house team members. Some weeks will be more spacious, slow, and rest-focused. Others will be more active and creative, with opportunities for social connection and conversation. You have full autonomy to arrive as you are and engage as you see fit, while honouring the group and shared space.

For me, a pattern in my neurodivergence is that I thrive in spaces where I’m supported to move, stretch, and then settle. I want to make room for these different ways of being together.

There is no particular way you are meant to feel, move, listen, or participate.

HOW DOES MUSIC MOVE YOU?

Through sensation, emotion, memory, imagination, movement, and connection.

Inviting you to the soft opening of our series, a listening session featuring the sounds of Cleo Sol’s ‘Gentlewoman’.

Opening and deepening attunement practices facilitated by Sahmrai, an introduction to Cleo Sol’s work from Tate with sounds from Bowen to welcome us in and out of the room.

We open the space to you for any creative practices you may have and are providing tea and some clay at this first session.

Looking forward to having you in the space.

Single session pass available at Bloom- link in bio

ATTUNEMENT & SOUND SESSIONS

Sound is the medium. Attunement is the practice.

How does music move you?

Through feeling. Emotion. Memory. Sensation. Rhythm. Resonance. Imagination. Connection.

Across eight weeks, we’ll gather with different musicians and sound makers to explore how sound meets the body, shifts our attention, and invites us into relationship with ourselves, our environment, and others.

Some sessions will be quiet and spacious. Others, more social and creative.

A space to listen, feel, move, and rest. Feel free to bring things to make your time as cozy as it can be, any current creative projects, or just yourself. We’ll have tea on from green muse herbs crafted for your rest and digest.

October 27 to December 15
Tuesday nights (6-9) at Burrow - 839 Fisgard
Victoria · on lək̓ʷəŋən territories

Arrive as you are.

ATTUNEMENT & SOUND SESSIONS AS COMMUNITY CARE.

A note from Sahmrai:

This sound + somatic collage is a collaborative community exploration that belongs as much to you as it does to me. This session series began as a practicum for my entry into my final year studying Somatics and the nervous system to become a Clinical Somatic Therapist. When asked to put forward what has moved me in this work the answer flowed out: combining attunement + music.

I hold it as a great privilege to facilitate and hold space for groups - encouraging the exploration & celebration of community and self. I am also beyond grateful to say that this series is already transforming; in collaboration with such a beautiful team including Tate Robinson, Bowen Macy, Jasmine Belief, and Somaya Said as well as 8+ artists (can’t wait to share more soon!), and hosted by community cornerstones, Colin and Anja of Burrow.

We would love for you to join us in this exploration of How Music Moves You - What becomes perceptible when we slow down enough to notice? What happens when we let sound meet us there?

Pricing is scaleable - At least one week is by donation, we’ve released a full season pass on Bloom (link in bio), and will have space for weekly drop-ins. Please reach out with any questions!

Thank u @s0mayuh for this beautiful poster!

I want to stay in touch with you all, and share my life, and not feel complacent to everything I think is disgusting in this world right now by using insta. I took 3 days off and have barely been on since (sorry I didn’t answer any dms!), and it is so nice to be more awkward irl, but I don’t want to lose touch. I just still want to share the good and real things about my life, to the good and real people!

Don’t tell me about MySpace…while I think it’s cool and plays on our nostalgia for a simpler time, I don’t personally think that’s enough. If anyone wants to build something with me, let’s figure this out.

A few short weeks ago, with a little help from our friends at @touristwinebar @softerdrink @workingculturerbead and @burrow.snd—as well as a much-appreciated blessing from the @cityofvictoria, we took to the street to celebrate the launch of Lyle. It was a beautiful summer Sunday, the perfect day for a wee block party.

A big 'ol speaker sat on the road, sandwiched between a hard-working yakitori station and a seemingly bottomless cooler of @nonny.beer and @zamalekmontreal to one side, and a juicy red collector VW bug (s/o @gursmcgrease!) with a frunk full of magazines to the other. There were kids, dogs, flowers, cake, and a smiling DJ looking out from inside the Softer Drink window. There were lots of friends, old and new.

Just to prove it wasn't all a dream, here's a little glimpse into how it looked—including a rare joint photo of Lyle's editors, overcome with emotion and gratitude.. (last slide 🏆)

Documentation from a listening session and fundraiser for Venezuela earthquake relief, held in collaboration with @burrow.snd on Vancouver Island.

The evening followed our own collection through an arc of how salsa came to be, from its boogaloo beginnings in the early ‘60s to its late ‘70s grounding as a full-fledged genre with global reach.

Salsa is a blend of Cuban rhythms (son montuno, guaracha, mambo, bolero, rumba) recreated by Puerto Ricans in New York after the US embargo cut Cuban musicians off from the American market. It’s a powerful and beautiful testament to a movement founded on cultural diversity. It tells the story of home from afar; a connection to cultural tradition while creating something new.

The word “salsa” had been bumping around Latin music since the 1920s. Ignacio Piñeiro wrote Échale Salsita in 1928. Benny Moré shouted it at his musicians to demand more sabor. But two Venezuelan moments in 1966 crystallized it as the name of a genre: DJ Phidias Danilo Escalona launched his radio show La Hora del Sabor, la Salsa y el Bembé, and Federico y su Combo Latino released Llegó la Salsa, the first album to put the word on its cover. Several years before Izzy Sanabria’s Salsa TV show in New York, and before Fania branded it as their own. As a Venezuelan, this thread matters: our country named what New York would later export.

Rubén Blades said it best: “Salsa is Cuban music with a New York attitude.” The rhythms are Cuman. The attitude is Nuyorican. The audience became the whole world.
