deep time adventure
the gower peninsula, wales
JOIN US on a 4 DAY, 3 NIGHT WOMEN ONLY 'DEEP TIME' ADVENTURE, in the stunning and ancient landscape of the gower peninsulA, WALES, THIS AUTUMN.
13th - 16th october 2023
What do you think of when you think of deep time?
And why does it matter?
The Earth has been in existence for 4.6 billion years, and as humans we've been here for just a fraction of that time.
We think this is fascinating and important to remember in thinking about our role as guardians of Planet Earth.
Which is why this October, we're very excited to launch a brand new type of wild adventure - a powerful and playful journey through deep time.
"At its best, a deep time awareness might help us see ourselves as part of a web of gift, inheritance and legacy stretching over millions of years past and millions to come, bringing us to consider what we are leaving behind for the epochs and beings that will follow us..." (Robert McFarlane, Underwood)
about the adventure
On this adventure we base ourselves in a hidden away National Trust bunkhouse. Nestled among pine trees and sand dunes and far away from the madding crowds, with native Welsh ponies and the sound of wild silence for company.
The bunkhouse will be our warm and safe base from which we adventure into the surrounding landscape of the Gower Peninsula. With its woodlands, beaches and wild marshland, our journey will stretch far beyond the safety of the bunkhouse taking us back 4.6 billion years when the Earth first formed.
This adventure is an opportunity to remember our place in the vastness of history, using deep time to give us a radical perspective on our lives and existence today. We’ll explore this together through walking, story-telling, reflecting, playing, sharing and creating.
The weather is of course it's own wild, so we plan and adapt our journey along the way to work with what is, in the safest and most magical way. The group is limited to a maximum of 10 women with 2 female facilitators to take you on the journey.
All you need to bring is an open mind, and open heart and a sense of adventure!
Our Welsh deep time adventure is open to anyone who identifies as female.
