A Deep Time Walk is a creative practice which invites us into the vastness of Earth's 4.6 billion year history, where each step counts for one million years. It is a walking meditation from primal beginnings up to the polycrises of the Anthropocene. No geological knowledge required.

Along the way we'll be pausing from time to time to mark the major milestones that chart our living Earth's long, slow development with time for reflection and writing. At the end of the walk, we'll spend some time landing back in the present day and reflecting on the experience of the walk.

Led by geology educator Mathilde Braddock (Steps in Stone) and creative writing facilitator and activist, Mark Smalley.

Route: We're walking 4.6km (just under 3 miles) around Ashton Court estate beginning and ending at the upper car park (by the golf course). We will stop for a picnic lunch halfway through - please bring your own lunch, and anything you'd like to share!

The right to the materials is held by the Deep Time Walk Project. 10% of your fees will go towards supporting the Project.
