This walk is an invitation to review and re-enchant our ways of walking in the city, relying on the body and the senses.

I will guide you in a conscious exploration through practical and playful experiences of body awareness, perceptions and movements. Together, we will explore how walking in full presence allows us to slow down, to feel the paths taken more finely, and thus to reconnect with ourselves, with others, and with the environment.

We will take a route connecting the two wastelands of the Biestebroeck basin and the Marais Wiels, an area in full urban transformation, oscillating between slowing down and accelerating. The diversity of its atmospheres and paths will echo our eco-sensory experience.

For the curious; no previous experience or particular skills are required. Come and walk as you are!

Keywords: slow walk; stroll; atmospheres; body awareness; sensitive ecology; the sensorial.

Facilitator: Christian Pollok, urban researcher and ecosomatic facilitator. He creates and facilitates learning experiences based on the wisdom of the body and the living in the service of societal change.
