randomWalks

The Extreme Slow Walk is a teaching of Pauline Oliveros and a practice of Deep Listening. The walker moves in the slowest possible way — one foot moving through each point, shifting weight almost imperceptibly into the ground, transferring balance from one leg to the other, "knowing always that no matter how slow you are walking you can always go much slower...The purpose of the exercise is to challenge your normal pattern or rhythm of walking so that you can learn to reconnect with very subtle energies in the body as the weight shifts from side to side in an extremely slow walk." (Pauline Oliveros, from her forthcoming book on Deep Listening).
