What Are Mindfulness Walks?
A Walking with Purpose walk combines gentle movement in nature with mindfulness practices designed to clear your mind, reduce stress, and reconnect you with both yourself and the natural world. Led by Anna from Writing with Purpose, these calming walks through South Cheshire and Staffordshire Moorlands offer a peaceful escape from everyday pressures.
During our walks, you'll:
- Experience guided mindfulness exercises that engage all five senses
- Learn simple techniques to quiet mental chatter and find clarity
- Connect with nature in a deeper, more meaningful way
- Discover how mindful walking can become a powerful self-care practice

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
