SUMMER SENSE | #othershoes-walking day & workshop

About self-will & inner loyalty An extraordinary day to fully enjoy summer We gather in an orchard on the edge of Perrebos, a stone's throw from the Hazenberg in Opvelp, Bierbeek. A place that breathes at its own rhythm and where summer spreads out in scents, colors, and ripe flavors. What does it mean to remain faithful to your inner orientation when so much around us determines how we live? After a quiet welcome with a cup of coffee or tea, we gather in a circle – a moment to land with what is already there. Perhaps this is our first exercise in self-will: even before the day unfolds further, listening to what gives direction within yourself while remaining open to what becomes audible in the encounter with others. Then we head into the landscape. We walk through summer fields and seek the cooling of sunken lanes. No rush, no musts. Only the quiet rhythm of walking, breathing, looking. Along the way, we let ourselves be accompanied by stories and poems about self-will, choice, and inner loyalty. As if the landscape itself begins to speak, in a language of slowness and attention. This is outdoor time . A day in which you don't have to go faster, but may go deeper. I will provide tea (chilled with ice in warm weather) and a small, suitable snack for along the way. We will walk about 8 km. Upon return, we will sit down together for a summer lunch – simple, fresh, honest. No rush to finish – rather a slow lingering on the day, through taste, scent, and in connection. What can you expect?
