In this online contemplative journey, you move into deep time, communing deeply with the Earth and opening to hear her story; from her birth to the present day - a journey of 4.6 billion years. Each session, through combining theory with the poetic imagination (using the framework of Heart Sense), you move through 1.5 billion years of the Earth's story in deep contemplation, travelling Earth's timeline. As you journey with the Earth, and hear her miraculous story, you will expand your heart to contemplate how this deep relating with Earth may transform you; as you come to experience and understand how you are made of Earth's flesh, opening your awareness to hear an ancient heart that beats inside all of life. 

​

Session one: Introduction and Earth's formative years (4.6 billion years - 3 billion years)

Session two: Earth gives birth to life (3 billion years - 1.5 billion years)

Session three: Complex life, death, rebirth and the Anthropocene (1.5 billion years - present day)

Session four: Grounding and reflections

​

This imaginal journey has been inspired by the Deep Time Walk that Dr Stephan Harding ran regularly at the Schumacher College, UK (sadly, Dr Harding passed away in September 2024 - this course is a tribute to his work). As an alumnus of the MSc Holistic Science (a programme that Dr Harding directed), and having directly experienced the transformative learning of the Deep Time Walk, Louise developed this 4-session contemplative journey in consultation with Stephan, and the Deep Time Walk Project. 10% of all bookings taken go directly to the Deep Time Walk Project.

About Louise

Dr Louise Livingstone has been receiving teachings from the Earth since she was young girl. Over the past two decades she has been purposefully communicating with, and working with, Gaia - creating ritual and leading sacred pilgrimage to honour Gaia, her power places and her subjects. Communing deeply with the Earth through her own heart and the approach that she developed in communication with her heart, she has been guided on transformational journeys that have taken her all across the UK, and onwards to the mysterious islands of Malta and beyond. See the 'Gallery' page here. Over the course of 4 session, Louise will support you to open your heart and re-connect with Gaia – deepening your relationship with the Great Mother and the more-than-human world through the imaginal methodology of Heart Sense, a practice that expands and deepens Goethe's approach to scientific enquiry.
