How to Draw a Tree (prototype)

This is the first walk (Dawn made)… (making it up as she went!) The title, HOW TO DRAW A TREE, is a play on words. It’s not really about drawing trees, though you can if you want. This project looks at ways in which we can draw trees and nature to us for our mutual benefit…I believe that we’ve come apart and that is making us both ill. So, that is what we are doing on this walk—finding ways to get back together. While this story isn’t a sad one (It’s actually a love story)— mental illness is discussed… So, if anything that is said brings up feelings that overwhelm, please visit the resources tab to access help. This walk is a little over 2 kilometers and should take a bit over an hour. This is not a fitness walk— in fact, it is the opposite. I’m hoping you will take it SLOW…Inch along the forest floor like a millipede. Try to follow the pace of the footsteps in the soundtrack. It isn’t easy to go slow for some of us! But, you will be amazed at what you notice when you do! You will need your cellphone AND headphones (and maybe bug spray, sunscreen, and water!).
