Deep Time Walk

This event has passed Register

Event description


This 4.6km walk, through CERES and along the Merri Creek, represents the 4.6 billion years of Earth’s history. Distance is a powerful tool to help us understand vast time scales, and along the walk we will stop to discuss the key moments in the development of our planet. A Deep Time Walk is storytelling through walking, it is a learning journey through our body, mind and soul, it is a beautiful way to tell the story of life.  Part history lesson, part mindfulness session this walk is all about stepping out of our lives and seeing the biggest picture. 

In the course of this immersive, interdisciplinary experience you will:

  • Grasp the real meaning of 4,600,000,000 years, the age of our home, and put its history into perspective.
  • Learn about the Gaia hypothesis of a self-regulating planet.
  • Explore the destructive impact our species is having on the living world.

Previous Deep Time Walk participants had this to say...

"I absolutely loved the walk. I like that it was informative and also encouraged my curiosity."

"The embodied dimensions (marking out space and time with a tape measure, paying attention to my steps, using landmarks as markers of time, etc) were incredibly powerful."

Trainer Bio:

Tamara has a background in Health Psychology and believes that a strong
emotional connection with the natural world is good for personal wellbeing whilst also promoting climate awareness and action.

Tamara learnt about Deep Time Walks from Debby Badger who studied at the
Schumacher College in Devon UK, and quickly saw their value in encouraging deep ecological awareness and an understanding of our planet as a precious
environment from which all life has emerged. Tamara hopes the walks will renew individuals’ emotional connection with Earth and motivate them to take a more active role in confronting the climate crisis.
