Last weekend in Iceland, people walked in procession to Ok, the first Icelandic glacier to be lost due to climate change. A range of events took place to raise awareness of glaciers melting around the world.
I couldn't be there although I would have loved to. I hiked Ok in 2021 as part of my project to listen, sing and record with glaciers, and it was one of the most transformational experiences of my life.
Who I am now and everything I do is impregnated of the Ok, which told me about surrendering, pleasure, the feminine. The glacier told me about a climate activism from the heart and from the womb, from the joy and the excitement.
Maybe, like me, you could not attend the procession to the glacier, but you would like to connect with this being.
Here is an invitation for a walking meditation together to Ok, in which you will listen to my steps into the snow and my breathing into its air as I hiked to it the 29th October 2021. You are invited to go walking with me and Ok for 15 minutes, wherever you are in the world.
Glaciers are guardians of water and guardians of life in this planet. When a glacier like Ok dies, we become the guardians and the messengers of their spirits.
