Introducing Trail & Portal

Introducing Trail & Portal, a groundbreaking platform poised to become the World's Largest Independent Sci-Fi Project! It is where artists and cooperatives can participate in diverse storytelling ventures, spanning short writing projects, films, live broadcasts, publications, products, as well as virtual and augmented reality experiences. This platform serves as a dynamic space for creators to showcase their works while providing collaborative opportunities for monetizing their art.

Geodesic Traveler Cooperative and Leads Creative have partnered to collectivize and cooperatize crowd-sourced content via the Trail & Portal Project.

They are happy to share the news of this inaugural publication, Trail & Portal Zine, Episode 0001, where you can begin your sci-fi journey with this introduction to the Trail & Portal storyverse. 

Readers and artists will experience prompts and stems to contribute their vision to the greater story of Trails, Beings, and Portals. Trail & Portal Zine serves as a starting point for gaining an understanding of what these are. 


This 50-page book is spiral bound on soft heavy-weight paper that you will enjoy holding, reading, and sharing with your friends. It provides a way to experience this project from the beginning.


Pre-orders are now open for a limited time, with a release date of April 2024. Shipping is included in this presale. Visit the storyverse at TrailandPortal.com and Pre-Order your Zine.


Your presale purchase of this Zine will help publish this piece, promote the project, and support contributing artists who benefit from this platform.


~Artists from multiple disciplines can take advantage of this platform in unique ways that benefit their creative practice. 


~The Trail & Portal storyline, beginning with the zine, allows me to create content at a faster rate so I can stay engaged with my audience without taking away from my production time. 


~The story is continuously going whether or not I am participating. It is a helpful part of my promotion strategy.

Deep Listening Workshops at Global Breath

Discover the sounds that compose your world. The practice of Deep Listening, developed by composer Pauline Oliveros (1932­–2016),
explores the difference between the involuntary nature of hearing and the voluntary, selective nature of listening. The practice includes
“Sonic Meditations” (a term coined by Oliveros), body awareness, and listening to the sounds of daily life, nature, one’s own thoughts,
imagination, and dreams. It cultivates a heightened awareness of the sonic environment, both external and internal, and promotes
experimentation, improvisation, collaboration, playfulness and other creative skills vital to personal and community growth.
L. Cooper received her Deep Listening certificate from the Center for Deep Listening at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She studied closely with Pauline Oliveros, IONE (author of listening in dreams) and Heloise Gold (author of Deeply Listening Body). Her workshops have a
particular focus on listening in dreams.  All are welcome, no previous experience needed.

Deep Listening ~ Dream Incubation Workshops

What do you hear in your dreams? Dreams contain valuable information about our emotional landscape, connections with ancestors, and answers we are seeking. Deep Listening, developed by composer Pauline Oliveros, helps us explore the difference between involuntary hearing and the voluntary, selective nature of listening.
In this workshop, guided by Lindsay, a certified Deep Listening facilitator, we relax into dream space using Deep Listening techniques, and create a fertile environment to receive and remember dream information. Upon returning to waking life, we record our dreams, or if sleep did not arrive, our thoughts and insights. Through recording and sharing, we accumulate dream records and a better sense of ourselves. We make requests of our dreams and incubate healing in specific ways.
Our dreaming state affects our waking state. Come rest, heal and dream. Please bring additional comfort items such as pillows and eye masks as desired.  
Global Breath. February 19, March 19 & April 23. You can drop into one, two or all three sessions.
