This Morning Walk

Libby is joined by David Pearl, Founder of Street Wisdom, a creative walking practice that encourages groups of people to go on guided walking workshops (ie - Walkshops) encouraging them to turn ordinary streets into extraordinary experiences. Having spent years exploring how our urban environment can deliver fresh insight, in 2013 David set up the first Street Wisdom event in Covent Garden, London. Since then, the movement has grown to over 87 countries and counting, led by volunteers sharing the power of Street Wisdom free of charge through communities across the globe.  For more on Street Wisdom visit: https://www.streetwisdom.org Keep in touch:  https://www.thismorningwalk.com/ Instagram: @thismorningwalk Alex Instagram: @alex_elle  Libby Instagram: @parkhere     Blind Nil Instagram: @blindnilaudio Please direct business inquiries to: blindnilaudio@magnolia.com Music Credits:  Valante / Ramo / courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Artist Windy Chien joins Libby for a ‘Walk & Talk’ to discuss quitting her job at Apple in her 40s to pursue a ‘third career’ as an artist. She’s best known for her 2016 work The Year of Knots, in which she learned a new knot every day for a year, and now turns that knowledge into works of art that can fit in the palm of a child's hand to room-sized installations that are sought after by private collectors.
