Deep Time Walk is a transformative journey through 4.6bn years of Earth history via a 4.6km guided walk. It is an invitation to view the world differently, encouraging positive action and advocacy for a regenerative Earth.
Why? A Deep Time Walk is a way of grasping the vastness of Earth's 4.6 billion year history when each step counts for one million years. Just by putting one foot in front of another, we’ll experience the phenomenal story of the evolution of life on our planet and glimpse how humans have evolved in the blink of a geological eye, resulting in today’s man-made climate and nature polycrises.
How?
- We will start at Bahnhof Wollishofen bus station (on the east / lake side) at 18h sharp. We will walk a 4.6km geological timeline along the lake (technically hiking route 84) through Burkliplatz and Utoquai. We will end at Zürihorn, in close walking distance to various trams and Bahnhof Tiefenbrunnen.
- Bring water to drink and snacks or a sandwich. We will pause at various points along the timeline that match important developments in our planet and the development of life. We will take the time to sit for about 10 minutes about halfway, but no more - we are constrained by sunset just after 21h that day.

How much? The walk will be led by Jeffrey Belt. I am asking for a small fee to cover the cost of the materials I'll use during the walk. All excess will be donated to the Deep Time Walk Project NGO which created this workshop. I'll welcome further donations via TWINT (which I'll forward) or you can donate online here now or after the walk!
