SENSORY STEWARDSHIP

A contemplative sound gathering may use bowls, bells, carefully reproduced music, silence, or other sound. The Society does not require the language of medical healing. A participant may experience rest, irritation, memory, emotion, pleasure, boredom, or nothing memorable.

We do not consume only through the mouth. We also choose what we listen to, look at, purchase, repeat, and give our attention to. Care includes quality, intensity, timing, environmental consequence, and the needs of other observers.
