Long abstractListening is a critical practice for allowing our senses to awaken and become receptive to Earth Others (Plumwood’s term, 2002). All our senses are interrelated, but listening is the practice which has become central to my research. I offer a personal account of the creation of a listening garden, the centerpiece of which is the Japanese “waterharp” sui-kin-kutsu. My specific example concerns my experience of shar-ing joy, passion and often outrage with a group of people committed to a forest in Tasmania. Many of them are crea-tive thinkers and activists who work to save the forest and to express their love for the beauty of the place. Our waterharp installation in a forest in Tasmania enabled us to share and express some of this love and commitment. Before telling the story, though, I need to discuss some of the Japanese con-cepts and aesthetics which underlie my perceptions and in-fluence my waterharp practice.
