Community worker, artist and runner, Fi Thomson, lead a dusk walk by the River Deveron.
Walking is central to Lilo's search through Huntly and the act of walking is heavy with symbolism. Poet and peace activist ​​Thich Nhat Hanh developed a pioneering practice around walking meditation, promoting concepts of mindful walking. Fi’s own mindful practice encouraged participants to be present by reducing some of our senses such as sight, to strengthen others through anchoring in sound and movement. Taking a well-trodden Huntly route, this event drew on our ideas of memory and how that might contribute or take away from mindful walking. We were asking: What do you think you see on a route you take everyday? What else could you see that draws you into that moment in mindful ways?
