ABSTRACT

A multidisciplinary approach connects academics, students, and community members with local environments. The aim is to transform participants and their relationship to the land and self through imaginative, somatic involvement in the landscape. This co-creative and deeply participative process evolves through close study of Jocelyn Brooke’s works, Wilson’s own wanderings in Brooke’s footsteps, and a style of walking that kindles heart-felt and imaginative connection with Brooke and the landscape. Folklore, legend, and archaeology of local walking places also provide new and loving ways of being in and relating to the landscape.
