The Practice of Deep Listening

’ve recently moved back to Norway, and I’ve committed to spending the next six months in the wild and powerful mountains. It’s very quiet here, and the biggest noise pollution is the sound of my own phone. There is a population of about 400 people, and I probably see more animals than humans. This kind of setting is giving me the space to deeply listen, reflect and contemplate. After ten years in the south of England it feels like moving abroad again. Thankfully, I still speak the language, though at this point I’d call it Anglo Norwegian.
