NATURE WALKING - A GUIDE
“Walking . . . is how the body measures itself against the earth.” ― Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: A History of Walking
The natural world, which we are a part of not separate to, is a space we can always enter to find solace, peace and life - even in the darkest of times. It is well known that thirty minutes in a ‘green area’ can lighten moods, this is true even for the smallest city park, garden or walk down a body of water; the ocean, a canal, a stream.
Connecting with your environment can be a great opportunity for grounding and restoration, the cyclical rhythms as a reminder that nothing is permanent and that we are all interwoven.
The first in the SALT SOUND series, Midnight Bathing is an audio journey through ambient and calming sounds. Curated with the quiet hours in mind, this playlist is a companion for meditation, drawing and listening.
The accompanying image is a giant gong (2.5 m in diameter), forged Aarhus for the Amorphus project, 1992. The gong was later exhibited at Parkens Anatomi Sculpture Park in Aalborg, Denmark.
