Question 1

What happens on a Walking with Purpose mindfulness walk?

Accepted Answer

Our leisurely walks are 2-3 miles through beautiful natural landscapes. We'll stop at 2-3 locations for guided mindfulness and optional reflective writing to help you connect with your surroundings through all five senses. We'll have opportunities to share and conclude with a refreshing drink.

Question 2

Who are these mindfulness walks for?

Accepted Answer

Anyone seeking a moment of calm in a busy life—whether you enjoy walking, being in nature, practising mindfulness, or simply need a break from daily stresses. Participants consistently report benefits including reduced stress, greater mental clarity, deeper nature connection, and fresh perspectives.

Question 3

What if I've never practiced mindfulness before?

Accepted Answer

No previous mindfulness or writing experience is needed. Mindfulness practices are simple, accessible, and guided every step of the way – there's no ‘right way’ to experience mindfulness. Many first-timers find the natural setting makes mindfulness practices easier and more intuitive than expected.

Question 4

How much does it cost to join a walk?

Accepted Answer

Each mindfulness walk is £12 per person, which includes the guided experience, all mindfulness practices, and pens and paper. You are welcome to join us for post-walk refreshments and further reflection.

Question 5

What should I bring with me?

Accepted Answer

Come prepared for changeable weather with appropriate footwear (walking shoes or boots), a waterproof jacket, and a water bottle. We recommend a small notebook and pen for reflective writing (though this is optional). A portable sit mat or cushion for comfortable seating during mindfulness stops.

Question 6

What if it rains?

Accepted Answer

Walks take place in all weather conditions except extreme cases (storms or dangerous conditions). Often, walking mindfully in light rain can be a uniquely beautiful sensory experience. However, please dress appropriately for the forecast. In case of severe weather, we'll contact you to reschedule.

Question 7

Is there a minimum or maximum group size?

Accepted Answer

To ensure a quality experience, we keep our groups small and intimate. Our walks typically have between four and ten participants, creating a supportive atmosphere while allowing for personal space and reflection.

Question 8

How physically demanding are the walks?

Accepted Answer

All walks are designed to be accessible to most fitness levels. We maintain a gentle pace over relatively flat terrain, covering two to three miles in two hours (including stops for mindfulness practices). There are no stiles, though some paths may be uneven or muddy depending on recent weather.

Question 9

Can I come on my own?

Accepted Answer

Many of our participants come on their own, and the walks provide a welcoming, friendly environment for solo attendees. The shared experience often creates natural connections, but there's never any pressure to socialise more than feels comfortable.

Question 10

What makes these different from regular walks?

Accepted Answer

While ordinary walks are beneficial, Walking with Purpose combines intentional movement with structured, guided mindfulness practices and optional reflective writing. Previous participants describe experiencing deeper awareness, greater mental clarity, and a more profound sense of peace.

Question 11

What if I need to cancel my ticket?

Accepted Answer
