20. Listening to the Ancestral Wisdom of Glaciers: a conversation with Antje Howard from Ancestral Arts Festival

Welcome back to The Glacier's Song podcast! In this episode, I dive into the importance of connecting to glaciers as our ancestors and as our elders which are -in their own geological scale of time- exhaling their last breath. I delve into why is important to be present with them in this moment, to listen, and to hold their hand. This conversation has been part of the Ancestral Arts Festival, directed and curated by Antje Howard. Find more interviews here: ancestral-arts.com This episode includes a 10min guided practice: a Listening Ritual where you can connect with your own presence, listen to the sounds of Glaciers, and Explore Your Voice in dialogue with the soundscape.

18. The eye of the guest sees everything: in conversation with climate anthropologist Cymene Howe

In this episode I have an inspiring, deep and lively chat with climate anthropologist Cymene Howe. Through our various endeavours with and around Ok glacier, we dive into practises of being a good ancestor, and about the sharpness of the eye of the outsider. At the door of Easter, we enquire about death and salvation for humans and glaciers, and on the grounds of hydrofeminism we cherish the newly formed lake in which the remains of Ok (Egg) are becoming a womb for new forms of life.

17. Global Glacier Sound Meditation: Celebrating the First World Day of Glaciers

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.
