Walk in Lockdown

Cementa

Walkdown in Lockdown - Fri 15 and Sat 16 Sessions

For many of us in lockdown, walking has become the highlight of the day and one of the few excuses to go outside. Going for a walk has become a privilege and our appreciation of this simple freedom has grown accordingly. Walking is an act of touching the Earth, a series of rhythmic repeated acts connecting your body to the ground. Each breath brings the world, and the present moment, into your body, and then it releases the body back into the world in a continuous cycle of exchange. To walk mindfully rather than rushing from one place to another, is to walk meditatively, opening your awareness to the metabolism that exists between yourself and your surroundings.You are invited to join artist Kath Fries on a collective act of meditative walking practice. Kath will guide you through an experience of mindful walking, coaching you to focus your thoughts and embodied attention. Along with a cohort of fellow travellers – each in their own world, breath, footfalls and body’s momentum – you will be moving across the ground in front of you and through the air around you. This movement is not just the mind slowing down to meet the body, but the body also moving to meet the mind. The process of being attentive to your breathing and walking allows each step to connect you to the Earth.

HOW TO PARTICIPATEJoin with mobile phone and headphone or have your phone audio on speakerJoin where you want to walk, you can do this inside or outside. You can walk along a pathway, or in a loop - perhaps around a table or around a tree.If you are not planning to stay within your initial WiFi range, then before you join turn WiFi off on your phone so it is just running on data the whole time (it’ll be annoying for you to stop mid-walk to change from wifi to data)Before we start the walking meditation, I’ll instruct you hold your phone in one hand, with your arm loose and relaxed, so the camera is looking at the ground.For the walking meditation, I’ll give you a series of simple instructions and walk you through it. Please keep your microphone on mute for the duration of the walking meditation.
