Deep Time Walk

A Deep Time Walk is a transformative journey through 4.6 billion years of Earth history via a guided walk. It is an invitation to question our relationship with Planet Earth, to change our perception of the world and our place within living ecosystems. The experience is designed to encourage a shift of consciousness, on a journey towards reimagining our relationship with Earth and bringing about a transition to a life-sustaining civilisation.

On this guided 4.6-kilometre walk, we journey through the unfolding history of our planet. Each metre represents one million years, allowing us to experience Earth's vast story at a human pace. Along the way, we pause at key moments in Earth's evolution—from the birth of our planet and the emergence of life, through forests, dinosaurs and mammals, to the appearance of humans in the final moments of the walk.

The Deep Time Walk is an invitation to experience our place within the living Earth. Through storytelling, reflection and time in nature, many participants leave with a renewed sense of wonder, belonging and gratitude for the remarkable lineage of life of which we are a part.

Your guide for this experience is Jaime Howell, a trained facilitator of the Deep Time walk. Jaime is the founder of the Centre for The Great Turning Charitable Trust.
