We are halfway ;) 97.5km of 195km completed virtually mapped against the length of Palestine, Jenin to Gaza.
Every step becomes a container of possibility, a network of people taking each step as series of mini challenges - some days it’s a breeze to get outside, others it a chore, but never has getting in some walking everyday, consistently not been beneficial to create a way to regulate, relate and appreciate your local area and see people in your community.

Every step is support, every kilometre is a solidarity that everyone deserves justice and freedom to be free and have a home without violence.
We know this here in Northern Ireland too. We appreciate all donations. - just another 97.5km to go!! 🙌💚🍉

Thanks for the birthday wishes for yesterday.

48 is grand - I’m still moving, creating and taking time for savouring the love.
I’m very lucky to have opportunities for being based in this part of world - despite the noise of divisions in the media.

If you want to support a good and important cause - I & hubby are doing throughout October a link to MAP meds page is there!
Just another 195km! Link in bio

share the love - when good people do good things together 🙌
And on track to fully feral and at 50…

Last dance

Scrolling my summer memories and found this wee free flow movement. When the dance return after many days of walking and gathering and thinking in 100 days fieldwork study and residency.

An impulse to improvisation flowed.
Expression that had been pushed down inside myself, now followed up when not focusing too hard or pushing effort.

Dance will be returning to my movement practice- rotational moves and softness that balances the lifts and strength to find its language in new directions.
A time now back in studio in September- as I develop choreographic actions and interventions and public prompts for my show next year - Future Foresting.

So sad of hearing the passing of Cosy the Cat, poised in the background. An elegant 23 year old lady, who was wonderful company when I spent a few days looking after her in East Kilbride for .

Our last dance.
A Return to earth
The end of summer.

Goodbye Cosy you were immensely loved.
Dance on.

Rest & Recover & Reset Sunday sofa reflection:
Deep gratitude to my
⭕️Support Team- family and friends, every step they keep me safe and checking in on me at different points my 2- week hike.

⭕️The Weather: Amazing sunshine and just a few showers. Skin feels fully charged and any Vitamin D deficiencies levels are hopefully boosted!

⭕️The Gear: Blister-free after 185km walking roads, trails and gravel in my vivobarefoot boots and trainers.

(Highly recommended them for natural foot biomechanics and building strength in feet/ ankle/ knee and hip alignment in your gait and general movement mobility! Can’t imagine doing this hike with blisters!! Awful! )

What’s next? Reset, review, and recalibrate.
Sunday- I recovered in the garden and today back at a screen before packing for a 2-month residency in Derbyshire, kindly supported by Void Gallery and The Ampersand Foundation. 🌿
This next phase will be a deep, intense rereading of the walk through experimentation and meditation. I’ll be looking at how the movement of minerals and flow connects river and mountain systems to our own veins and living bone—an evolutionary dialogue with gravity, temperature, and pressure.
🌿
The journey also tracked key Mesolithic prehistory sites across the county in which I live Derry-Londonderry, comparing some research to England, and Europe studies and Mesolithic bone health and mobility patterns.

By looking back at a people born into previous dense forest landscape, I hope to uncover simpler, practical pathways for our future health embodied in ecology ways and resilience by being fit and in reconnecting modern life in-tune to relationship to that we evolved through the Living World.

Feeling incredibly full and grateful for everyone who supported me along the way.

1/3 of 100 days study and so much rich deep learning has yet to formulate.

The residency will deepen the knowledge.

Rest, recover & go again deeper!
