The Deep Time Walk is a 4 km storytelling walk, a journey on foot through the Earth's 4.6 billion years. Step by step, we cross the ages, from the fiery birth of the planet to the first breaths of life, from great extinctions to rebirths. Inspired by deep ecology, each step invites us to feel the invisible link that unites all living beings.
