Deep Time Walk is a transformative journey through 4.6bn years of Earth history via a 4.6km guided walk. It is an invitation to view the world differently, encouraging positive action and advocacy for a regenerative Earth.

We provide tools and resources to empower a global community of changemakers and volunteer facilitators. Our vision is to empower an ensemble of geographically specific and culturally nuanced Deep Time Walks, providing an intercultural story-telling platform that helps bring about a diverse, flourishing ecological civilisation.
