The world feels a bit unsteady, doesn’t it? Systems are strained, the climate is shifting, and it’s easy to feel lost in the noise. But what if the answer isn’t out there, it’s in us, coming together to spark something better?
Imagine a walk where we don’t just talk about change but start creating it, step by step, side by side.
This isn’t a protest or a lecture. It’s a few hours outdoors in Godalming’s beautiful landscapes, connecting with others who believe there’s a better way.
``Our theme this month pulls on the threads of connection to each other and to this land - 'From Me to We'. ``What are we missing? And what might we do about it?
Join us for a gentle 90-minute walk, with guided conversations, moments to pause, reflect, and share, followed by a group discussion.
`Each month we’ll explore Four Threads that weave a more beautiful future:
❤️ Community & Connection – Building ‘home’ through stories, care, and shared joy.
💚 Land & Nature – Honouring the soil, seasons, and nature that sustain us.
🤍 Technology & Intelligence – Using AI and tech wisely for sustainable, human-centered living.
💜 The Way Within – Tapping into meaning, inner wisdom, and what guides us deeply.
What to Expect:
- A relaxed, accessible walk for most abilities.
- Paired and group chats with thought-provoking prompts.
- Time to reflect, connect, and dream together.
- A closing circle with an optional cuppa and cake.
- New friends, fresh ideas, and a feeling of “I’m not alone.”

Yes, we welcome everyone, younger and older. It’s the many perspectives that build and bind community. That said, the conversations are reflective and lightly guided, so we encourage parents to consider whether younger children will be able to engage, or enjoy, a slower-paced walk.
If your dog is friendly, on a lead, and happy around groups, they’re welcome. Just be mindful of others, especially during the reflection and circle moments. We ask one dog per human, please.
Not at all—this isn’t a hike, it’s a gentle walk with meaningful conversation. That said, we’ll be walking along natural trails that may include uneven ground, tree roots, and the occasional slope or rocky patch.
