Question 1

Where will we meet?

Accepted Answer

We’ll be walking a stretch of the Mortimer Trail near Lingen, close to the England/Wales border. Full details of the meeting point, parking and timings will be sent after booking.

Question 2

How long is the walk?

Accepted Answer

The walk itself is approximately 4.5 miles with some hilly and uneven ground, but we’ll take our time, pausing often and moving at a pace that feels right for the group.

Question 3

Do I need any experience?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. You don’t need to be a seasoned walker, writer, singer or meditator – just come as you are. Everything we offer is invitational. You’re warmly welcome to participate in whatever way feels right for you.

Question 4

What should I bring?

Accepted Answer

Comfortable walking shoes or boots. A water bottle. Weather-appropriate layers (we’ll be outside in all but heavy rain) and a walking-pole if you prefer to use one. You may want something to sit on for when we pause.

Question 5

What’s included?

Accepted Answer

All guidance and materials for reflective practices and ritual. A nourishing plant-based lunch - gluten-free and dairy-free friendly. Hot drinks and light refreshments along the walk.

Question 6

What if it rains?

Accepted Answer

We’ll go ahead in light rain but if the forecast is poor, we’ll offer an alternative date as soon as possible. If you can’t make the new date, your ticket can either be refunded or you're very welcome to transfer it to another person. Lunch will be served under cover if the day is damp.

Question 7

Can I bring my dog?

Accepted Answer

As much as we love to walk with dogs, to help us all stay attentive to ourselves, and each other, this walk is for humans only.

Question 8

What if I’m not sure whether to come?

Accepted Answer

If you have any questions about the walk, your needs, or whether it’s right for you, feel free to reach out. We’re happy to chat things through with no pressure at all.
