ben edson has taken the spirit walk idea and technology from greenbelt and put it into the space of the city of manchester. this is a great idea. it co-incides with the mind body spirit festival where you can collect a set of headphones to use for the walk. the technology triggers the track when you get to the destination. there are 6 tracks in total – download a map guide. it’s part of the encouraging move of worship/spirituality into public space.
there are also 3 tracks on the spirit walk web site – i think they are unrelated to the manchester walk. they are available to listen to or download free. ben is looking for groups in other cities to develop spirit walks related to their context.
i am making it worship trick 97 series 3.
the origial spirit walk tracks – the silent pilgrimage from greenbelt are available on proost
There was a similar project planned for the autumn in Leeds. Unfortunately it had to be postponed.
