We will visit some of the old trees in Gamlebyen and end up at Losæter. Participants are invited to choose one of the trees we pass to work with. You will be given some simple sensory instructions and invited to take notes. Then we will walk to Losæter for some tree-tea and tree-talk.

This workshop is for anyone who can sit quietly for 40 minutes and who can write. can join this rooted walk.

The rooted walk is part of a bigger project that you are welcome to take part in:

‘(Re)learning tree-time’ is a collaborative series of events centred around the notion of time from the point of view of the more-than-human*. It aims to challenge our increasingly short-term thinking with the long-term thinking of tree-time. ‘Tree time’ can be understood as the slower and steadier cycles of nature that govern trees. How can we explore new perspectives of time with the help of trees? And by extension, learn how to think long-term again? ‘(Re)learning tree-time’ invites participants and viewers to slow down and use their sensory abilities to experience tree-time.
*more-than-human: term used to include other living beings that are not human. (Abram, 1996)

The events of the collaboration will take place spring and autumn of 2024. The Automn events will take place on the 13th and 15th of September. You are most welcome to join all events or as many as suits you.
