Soulwalk Leaders Course - 3 Oct 2025

Why YOU, why NOW?

We're passionate about our Soulwalks, bringing communities together, and up-skilling others to run their own community walks. Not a ramble, but a contained walk for gentle exploration. A time for you all to come together, be seen, experience something gentle and kind, and leave feeling uplifted. We think it's the perfect timing for these spaces and activities to be created to support us all in times of uncertainty and turbulence.

We have a few Soulwalk Leader Courses this summer in June and this on on Thursday 7th July 2025. If you're drawn to us by what you've read so far, please read all the information below, and drop us an email to book your introductory call.

What is a Soulwalk™

Soulwalks are mindful open-hearted walks in nature, designed and structured to facilitates a more therapeutic and restorative experience whilst walking. In the process creating healthier, happier and safer communities.

Soulwalking super-charges the naturally holistic benefits of walking by integrating simple embodied practices of moving, breathing, thinking and expressing with intention, awareness and appreciation, that gently yet profoundly guide one into a deeper presence with oneself and others.

Soulwalks are very much about the awareness and presence of the person(s) leading the Soulwalk™ in creating and holding a space, or atmosphere that is safe, welcoming and therapeutic. It’s a sharing circle by nature but not always in structure. In other words there is no professional therapy or advice given, but rather just a responsibly guided social support groups. Soulwalks are limited to 12 people per leader so as to make sure everyone feels seen, heard and held.

At Soulhub we are passionate about empowering and supporting others. Hence we love to theme some our Soulwalks, giving local people an opportunity to be featured on part of a walk. People can share either their inspirational life stories or specialist subjects and talents such as botany, herbalism, foraging, gardening, music, art, dance or anything that is either educational or inspirational.

Soulwalks are always on public land and in spaces that are safe and easily accessible. They must not enter private property or any protected environment without permission.
