The year got off to a great start, with 5 Hiku Hikers joining for the January 2024 one. This activity has been happening in the East Coast Resorts area (mostly) since March last year, when Silke led a Hiku Hike in collaboration with a yoga retreat including a journey through dance at Glengariff Lodge. Since then, she has offered the Hiku Hikes on a monthly basis - even giving one in France!
Hiku Hikes further afield this year, in Uitenhage and Cathcart, are being discussed collaboratively. Write your heart into place, capturing your experience on this guided, silent walk - listening in to the mystery of what is. NO WRITERLY EXPERIENCE is necessary for this activity, merely a wish to preserve your living self in a unique moment in space and time, by writing words down in response to your environment. The hike is ideal for travellers keeping a journal of their experiences. Depending on the weather, the 'Hiku Hike' takes place either on Sunrise-on-Sea beach or in dune forest above Kwelera. En route, I stop to read a poem, offering basic technical commentary. While walking, you compose your own poem or reflective piece of writing, based on your sense experience of the surroundings. You have a chance to draw together your jottings. Editorial tips and feedback are given at the end of the walk. Watch my presentation explaining the Hiku Hikes on www.facebook.com/share/p/u17e3KTk3CiAEHrV/?mibextid=Nif5oz Bring pen and paper (phones and ipads will work in the shadier parts), hats, warm gear if there is a breeze, water bottle, and small cushions or towels to sit on.
