Dardishi Dardishi

Walking Softly is a podcast designed to be listened to while on a walk outside. Join Layla K. Feghali on a guided walk through the plantcestral worlds that surround and fill us.

This gentle stroll is an invitation into the soft and sensory realms of plants and the elements of your own neighbourhood, which may be real, imagined or remembered.  Re-discover familiar spaces through a poetic mapping with your inward compass.

A sensual re-visioning of everyday worlds. An experiential re-membrance of bodily being on and with earth. Walking Softly reveals an entry into the intimacy and connectivity of our mundane worlds. It connects your body and senses with plants, weaving them together as creative companions.
