17. Global Glacier Sound Meditation: Celebrating the First World Day of Glaciers
Description
In celebration of the 1st World Day of Glaciers Néfur offers a Global Sound Meditation with the sounds of glaciers she recorded in Iceland for people from all over the world to listen to glaciers' direct voices.
In this episode, Marcela Fernández, Cymene Howe and Néfur introduce you to some of the endangered or already disappeared glaciers of the world, and Néfur takes you on a listening journey to open your heart to receive the voices of glaciers in combination with her voice.
For a powerful experience, during the sound meditation part of this episode we recommend you close your eyes and use headphones.
The Glaciers we introduced and invited into the meditation are:
Anderson Glacier (United States)
Pico Humbolt (Venezuela)
Monte Perdido & Aneto (Spain)
Hofsjökull (Iceland)
Santa Isabel (Colombia)
You can find all of their stories in the Global Glacier Casualty List https://glaciercasualtylist.rice.edu
Episode hosted by Néfur in collaboration with activist and NGO founder Marcela Fernández from Cumbres Blancas Colombia and climate anthropologist Cymene Howe from Rice University and Global Glacier Casualty List.
In recent years, singer, composer & sound-artist Néfur has recorded the sounds of Icelandic glaciers, has sung with them and listened with them, while also creating original compositions, performances, workshops and meditative sound journeys uniting her voice to the ones of glaciers.
