Notes on Animal Gaze

Simon Persighetti and myself shared our city/forest explorations with fourteen keen adventurers yesterday. Personal highlights of a really fun day include: fourteen people buying one eccles cake in the bus station cafe to feed a pigeon; fourteen people standing in Coral bookies watching a horse race; planting wild flower seeds in a patch of grassy `non-space' outside the police station; running on the spot and succesfully getting worms to come up to the surface; making origami cranes and decorating a forest tree with them; the whole group walking with eyes closed along a forest track; trying to find north while standing amongst the trees; standing in silence in the forest surrounded by birds.

A few notes written in advance of the Animal Gaze walk here.
