Our physical home at the Flavel Arts Centre — a place where creatives gather to practice and explore perfomance, method, bodywork, story-telling and the creative arts. It's where our radio shows are made.

Music
A Listening Matters Production
Original compositions and recorded works born from lived experience. Written with composer Dario Cei, Stephen's songs carry the same conviction as everything else he does: music that stirs the soul can move change. And it starts with listening.
People + Ecology + Action = Resilience
The four pillars of our work. Resilience isn't something you go
and find. It's what happens when the other three come together.
People:
human connection, active listening, and relational empathy across family, borders and communities.
Ecology:
living environmental habitats and acoustic landscapes we inhabit, nurture and respect.
Action:
Intentional creative practice, artistic output, and broadcast endeavors.
Resilience:
enduring capacity to sustain connected adaptive creative work.
