Walking Musician

Walking Musician is made up of four interweaving and interconnected pathways of what I, Paul Simmons, have spent my life creating. Having kept them separate for decades it is now a collective portal where it is time to think of my personal "Legacy" from hereon and share what I passionately love to do. I am a bridge, a conduit for music and Nature connection.I write music, performing with my heart on my sleeve. Observational, positive, heart on sleeve, celebratory songs about walking, nature, climate, inter-generational relationships, social justice, questioning everything we all hold dear.I also perform Improvisational pieces where inspiration, energies and the Muse meet. Ephemeral and of the moment, never to be repeated. I am an accredited practitioner of forest bathing, the clinically proven forest therapy that helps improve the body's natural resistance to disease. I have been taking people walking for 25 years. What is the difference between 'walking with' and 'walking without' knowledge?I am also ready to write up my PhD on the joy of walking, its health and wellbeing effects and the need to transition to a low carbon economy in a time of a climate and ecological emergency. Nature connection is the golden thread of the thesis.
