Each walk or walkshop is different, so please check the details of the event you’re interested in.

However, here are some general guidelines.

Most of our public walks last around 2 hours, and takes you through a local city. Which city depends on which event you’ve registered for.

Most walking events have four parts:

An easy start: You’ll receive a short introduction to the theme of the walk, and any extra materials that you may need during the walk. We’ll guide you through a simple exercise to help you leave the world behind you and be present with all your senses for our walk.

The walk: You’ll be guided through the city, with regular stops filled with prompts, invitations and/or information, depending on the type of walk you are on. Sometimes we invite you to reflect on what you see, hear and do, either in small groups, pairs or alone.

Re-grouping: As we come to the end of our walk, we’ll take some time to regroup and chat about what you’ve noticed, both in terms of the walk and what you’ve experiences. This is a great way to see how different people notice different things, and inspire you to “walk differently” in the future.

Let the world in: Your guide will lead you through a final exercise to end the walk and set you free, with your newly-awakened walking self, into the world!

No. Ways to Walk offers facilitated, participatory walking experiences, not guided tours or tourist walks. I don’t present historical narratives or act as a city guide. Instead, I invite participants to notice, reflect, and explore places together in their own ways.

Clothes for all weather, and weather appropriate protection (hat, sunscreen, gloves, umbrella – check your local weather forecast for tips). Shoes that you can walk in comfortably for two hours. A reusable bottle filled with water. An open mind. A willingness to try something new.

Typically we have around 10-12 participants. We run public events with as few as 6 people and as many as 50.

Anyone curious about experiencing their urban spaces in new and interesting ways, who is open to meeting new people, in “real life”.

We typically suggest that participants are 16 and older. We are happy for children and teens between 10 and 15 join us, but only if they are accompanied by guardians.

I aim for a gentle pace with regular pauses. If you use a walking aid or have specific access needs, you’re very welcome, and it’s best to check the event description or get in touch so we can see what’s possible for that particular walk.

This depends on the event.

To participate fully, children need to be able to cope with being on one of our standard 2-hour city walks. We find that children under the age of 10 get bored – it’s just too long for them.

We do offer walks and walking events for families with younger participants, however. Check our upcoming events for details, or get in touch to see what we have planned.

Walks are usually offered in English or German, depending on the event. Occasionally, walks are offered in collaboration with partners in other languages. The language is always listed in the event description. 

For our public events, our main focus is themed, mult-sensory walks, however we love to find new and interesting ways to get people excited about their senses!

We’ve organised dinners in the dark, cocktail and other tastings, trips to touch rocks, and much more. Every year brings something new, so be sure to request our newsletter to keep up to date.

We don’t have much to tell you just yet, because we are still planning our dates for the coming year. Stay tuned by signing up to our newsletter.
