About #WTWIL
​

When all you can hear is the noise - of work and school and the news - it’s easy to miss the sounds of birds and laughter and shoes on the pavement. 
​
When stress and worry are echoing, it can be hard to hear hope and friendship and calm. But listen closely…they’re there.

Starting somewhere familiar to you, simple instructions will take you around spots in your chosen location. You’ll pause to listen to original scenes and stories and, as you move from place to place, you’ll hear community voices.

​Most importantly - you’ll have time to reflect on your own thoughts, feelings and experiences.
​
Listen as many times as you like and anywhere you like – it works in rural, urban and stay-at-home settings. You pick where to start and let us guide you from there.

Listen as a group or go it alone. Just grab your phone, a pair of headphones, and some comfy shoes, and let us take you on a journey.
