Walk the vastness of Earth's 4.6 billion year history on a 4.6km geological timeline through Ashton Court estate, where each step counts for one million years.Just by putting one foot in front of another, we will experience the phenomenal story of the evolution of our planet and life on Earth and glimpse how humans have evolved in the blink of a geological eye. There will be creative writing opportunities along the route to reflect on our insights and sharings.At the end of our Deep Time Walk, we will facilitate an Active Hope Spiral. Based on Joanna Macy’s Work that Reconnects, this reflection exercise is designed to help us process the experience of the walk: sharing gratitude for the gifts received, honouring the grief we feel for the pain of the world, and exploring how we wish to move beyond our time together.This Deep Time Walk is guided by geology educator Mathilde Braddock (Steps in Stone) and creative writing facilitator, Mark Smalley.The materials are created by the Deep Time Walk Project. 10% of fees go towards supporting the Project.Pricing: we offer this walk with a sliding price scale.

These deep time insights carry considerable weight for us here and now.In light of this, there is a facilitated reflective aspect to the walk with opportunities to reflect on how these insights are affecting us. You will be invited to capture thoughts and feelings in writing, or you may want to just quietly reflect.At the end of the walk, we will arrive back at the present day and explore what it feels like to be alive in today's world. Through the Spiral exercise, there will be an opportunity to reflect and share with the group, however feels comfortable. There is no obligation to share. Note that this is not an eco-therapy session.Why Deep Time? We believe that there is a therapeutic and wellbeing benefit in grasping the enormity of Deep Time and recognising how brief the window is for us to do something about man-made climate change and the accompanying nature crises.Connecting with Deep Time can create a deep experience of connection, encouraging us towards action. Using creative writing to explore some of our responses can support our exploration and growth, while rooting us in our endeavours as people who care for life on Earth.We are looking forward to sharing this Deep Time Walk with you.
