A life-long journey to (re)discover:
Life doesn’t come with a manual
We can build a library of moments
to remind us of significant moments
We can also draw on these moments
to our own make guides and maps
The library of moments from walks in development has
100’s of moments guides and maps
all on the back of a postcard!
Moments are the steps we collect on our journey
the experiences, thoughts and ideas that occur to us
Every moment is an invitation for further development
In the library of moments from walks in development
each moment has a question, a reflection and a suggestion
to get us started
The Library is organised alphabetically based on a key word
that indicates a process (guide) or an action (map) it can help us develop
The more we share our moments, the more meaningful they become
Guides help us navigate difficult times
We can process our moments by going for a walk
as we walk we can focus in turn on
our own development,
our impact on others
the wider implications of our actions
and allow our moments to guide us
The library of moments from walks in development includes guides to:
Value your experience
Navigate complexity and change
Find a positive way forward
Maps are a simple way to see how everything is connected
The library of moments from walks in development includes maps to:
Gather your research
Develop your practice
Make long-term plans
Maps can show us how each moment contributes to our development
as individuals, groups and communities
they can help create the connection
that makes our actions meaningful
We can use a journal to
Record significant moments
make guides and maps
and identify our next steps
We can get together with friends and colleagues
to share moments, walk alongside each other and support each other’s journeys
The library of moments from walks in development includes a journal
with daily moments and weekly guides and maps to get us started
We are all in development
walking parallel paths
and asking the same questions along the way
Every moment contributes towards our shared library of moments
Arts in Development is not funded
If you can make a donation it will help me make and share more moments
Thank you for your support and encouragement!
“I recommend Arts In Development as a tool for individuals and organisations, for one-to-one and cooperative working; his holistic approach helps untangle knots and brings out strengths with great positivity” (Tara Downs, Miniature Museum )
“David is quietly rebellious and innovative and has created a new model of creative development, based on walks. I’d recommend diving in deep to explore his approach” (Elspeth Penny, 2BU Productions)
Walks in development have been a source of exploration, a way to connect with other creatives and an amazing space for self discovery. David has a unique ability to create warm and welcoming environments that provide equal measures of support and motivation” (Grace Kress, ShelbyXStudios)
