Creative Practice in Men’s Work in The Listening Room HQ

Ralf Peters, Sweets edition, 2025

My latest post in The Listening Room HQ is about what happens when creative practice enters the space of men’s work.

Creative practice has a way of loosening what words alone can’t reach. It’s not about art as product, but about opening. A way men can meet themselves, each other, and others differently.

It’s not theory or performance, it’s a way of grounding, disarming, and opening what’s otherwise hard to reach.

In spirit, it sits not far from Nick Cave’s Red Hand Files, a place where correspondence becomes a kind of soul map. The Listening Room HQ works in a similar way though with men’s practice: gathering fragments, gestures, and creative practice into a field of shared soul work.

The Listening Room HQ – Early Notes

Van Gogh Sunflowers
Vincent van Gogh, Three Sunflowers, 1888

A couple of days after the first anchor, the Listening Room HQ is quietly taking shape.

Sunflowers and Van Gogh, my favourite painter, continue to be an inspiration. Each Sunflowers painting subtly shifts in light and energy — each one different.

The maps, the sessions, this craft is a side of me many of you haven’t seen before. A new way of holding presence, listening, and connecting, blending intuition, somatic practice, and knowledge from neuroscience and neurobiology.

The Listening Room HQ – My Men’s Practice, Readings & Maps

The Listening Room HQ is my men’s practice, readings, and maps — a side of me many of you may not yet be familiar with.

It is a dedicated space where I integrate my background in neurobiology, neuroscience, and genetics with intuitive, somatic practices, connecting the soul, the cosmic, the creative, and the other maps that guide this work.

It’s a new adventure, shaped by years of study and lived experience.

The sessions are designed specifically for men — thoughtful, often private individuals navigating challenges such as burnout, emotional numbness, or creative blocks. These are not therapy sessions, but they are grounded in presence, clarity, and a non-judgmental approach.

In addition to the sessions, I offer readings and maps that combine Human Design, Mayan Cosmology, and Western Astrology. These are available to all genders and serve as tools for self-reflection and guidance. You can learn more about the services here.

The Listening Room HQ blends science with intuition, offering a space for men to explore and connect with themselves in a meaningful way.

My work is shaped by an artistic lens, and INTJ’s clarity.
