About

Overview

Starting at the St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral Song School, surrounded by Phoebe Anna Traquair’s murals illustrating the Benedicite Omnia Opera, this circular walk, led by Robert Woodford, former chorister at the Cathedral and co-founder and Executive Director of Deep Time Walk, offers a transformative journey through 4.6bn years of Earth history via a 4.6km guided walk. This is an invitation to view the world differently, encouraging positive action and advocacy for a regenerative Earth.

With each step = 500,000 years, 1 metre = 1 million years, this “head-body-heart” experience combines science, body movement and the sensations of connection with the richness of our ancestral heritage. Numerous exercises and questions will punctuate the walk and stimulate exchanges within the group of participants. By the end, you’ll feel the immensity of linear time – the time it took for life to evolve and perceive the interconnectedness of all life on Earth.…
