Let’s walk the city together
We rush through our streets and neighbourhoods on autopilot. My walks invite you to slow down, notice what’s already here, and experience the place you’re in with all your senses.
Curious?
Walk with me
Ways to Walk walks are open to anyone curious about place, people, and possibility.
Climate Walk: Conversations for Change: Innsbruck (Pilot, Deutsch)
Join us for the Austrian pilot of our new climate walk. It's called "Climate Walk: Conversations for Change", and it's all about understanding climate causes, consequences and solutions, right here in Innsbruck.
Closing the Loop – Circular Economy Walk: Innsbruck (Deutsch)
A creative, place-based walk that explores the journey of materials through our city, from take-make-waste to reuse-repair-renew, and invites you to imagine what a truly circular economy could look like.
What’s this all about?
Our cities, towns, and neighbourhoods are full of details, stories, and possibilities, but most of us move through them without really noticing.
I created Ways to Walk to change that. Ways to Walk is a curated collection of urban walks, each with its own focus. They invite you to slow down and tune in to the everyday world around you.
Some walks ask you to notice colour, or sound, or the details you’d normally pass by. Others explore stories, memory, or how a place has changed over time. There are quieter walks too: slower walks, silent walks, or walks that bring attention back to breath and movement.
Together, we notice textures, patterns, assumptions, and stories embedded in the places we pass every day.
They’re not tours, and they’re not workshops in the usual sense. There’s no need to know anything in advance. The invitation is simple: to walk, to notice, and to experience the place you’re in a little differently.
We walk at a gentle pace, with pauses along the way. We walk. Sometimes we reflect, talk, and sometimes imagine what else might be possible. Sometimes we don’t talk at all.
All of the walks are are about presence, connection, and discovering how much is already here, and, sometimes what that means, once we start paying attention.
Although walking is always central, “walking” is really about how we move through space. That might include walking aids or other ways of moving, depending on what you need.
These walks travel with me. I am based in Innsbruck and run walks across Tirol in English and German, and I offer walks in other locations across Europe and beyond through travel and collaboration.
The woman behind Ways to Walk
Ways to Walk is led by Suzanne Whitby, a facilitator, futures researcher, performance artist, and walking practitioner based in Innsbruck. Her work brings together futures, storytelling, and participatory walking to help people notice, connect, and imagine what might be possible.
