+ | |||
+ | This walk includes a soundtrack as part of the experience. You will need a device that can play sound with earbuds or headphones (such as phone or mp3 player) for listening during the walk. The soundfile is one hour long, and the walk should take approximately an hour. | ||

+ | |||
+ | Download the sound from the link above, and check if the sound is working while you're online, but please avoid listening to the soundtrack until you begin the walk. (you can also [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | When you start playback take a few moments to experiment with listening at different volumes. You should be able to hear the recorded sound as part of the current soundscape on the island, so it's best to avoid noise cancelling headphones. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ====During the walk==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | As a participant in this walk, we invite you to attune to the island using all your senses. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Pay attention to what you notice around you and what effect the surroundings have on your physical and mental states (your moods, thoughts and emotions). | ||
+ | |||
+ | To begin with, stand still and take a few deep breaths. Acknowledge that you have landed on an island that is slowly, imperceptibly rising above the water, in a process known as [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | When you start to walk, walk slowly. Slow enough to be able to pay attention to the complex relationships in the environment. Experiment with changing the rhythm of your walking. Notice how you react to a change of pace. If you walk in a group, try to walk in silence, single file or spread out. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Notice your surroundings as you walk. From the vastness of the sky to tiny particles of dust; from the shapes of the trees to the shapes of the fences; from the wholes to their parts and back again. Occasionally stop and look around, or close your eyes and sense the sonic, tactile and olfactory textures of the environment. Take this time to be attentive to the landscape and its inhabitants, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Pay attention to what is going on around you – other humans, the plants, animals, rocks and water. Notice how you respond to them, without taking any action. Simply allow everything to be as it is. Notice that just by being where you are, you are moving into and out of relationships with multitudes of beings. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ====After the walk==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | When your walk comes to an end, take a few moments to reflect on your experience. How did you experience the place, your surroundings, | ||
