The experience of developing an intimate personal relationship with a non-human being where it's not about language, it's not about the ways that we normally engage with everything in our world. It is something other, and it's you have a deep, personal, loving, trusting relationship with this being, but you've never said a word to each other that you can understand.
Imagine turning a simple act of playing music into a global phenomenon. That's exactly what Patrick Dexter, an Irish cellist and former school teacher, did during the pandemic. In this episode of The Good Listening To Show, hosted by Chris Grimes, Patrick shares his incredible journey of how playing his cello outside his cottage on Ireland's Wild Atlantic West Coast became a beacon of hope and healing for people worldwide.
Dexter opens up about the emotional and therapeutic impact of music and nature, highlighting how these elements helped him and others cope during challenging times. He also delves into his passion for polar exploration and his deep connection with the non-human world. Through his growing Patreon community, Patrick is fostering a network of individuals who share his love for music and storytelling, all while promoting mental wellbeing.
Tune in to hear how one man's simple act of playing music became a source of comfort and inspiration for many.
