The spiritual-political-geographical link between my home Scotland and Cataluña is central to my walkshops. We have long been engaged in self-determination, with debates over community, national and inter-national relationships.

Taking the ancient spiritual path which unites the three conurbations, I will walk the Camí de Sant Jaume before joining you for the Program, collecting words, marks, sound segments and mapping.

During the meeting, we will make a ritual: three pilgrimages considering Separation and Unity. The trinity of walklets will allow us to compare sensations and feelings.

Each walk will consist of exercises for individuals, a group game, and ambulatory prompt.

The Granton Burn, from hill to sea

A series of walks in search of the Granton Burn, a river which is now only partially above ground. Old texts state it marked the western limit of the Granton bounday (Edinburgh).

Portal To Infinity

Development from what I have learned from my café in May 2021, about a link I am establishing in a Memorial to Mum on a Gate (part of the fence in the direction she used to gaze through the night for spiritual contact) and my early morning walks.

Walking as a spiritual question

Pilgrimage is a journey to a destination, external or internal, literal or figurative, material or spiritual. The goal of the pilgrim is to move by walking hundreds of kilometers many times, from the familiar, the trivial daily, to the Other to the ideal. The motives of the pilgrim are different for each one, remembrance of

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
