We teach
We offer training and workshops in participatory facilitation and creative engagement, drawing on methods such as senstoryscapes, futures literacy, and Earthed Art.
Sharing the practice
At Ways to Walk, we believe in open, generous methods, ones that can be adapted, shared, and reimagined.
We offer training and workshops in participatory facilitation, senstoryscapes, futures literacy, and Earthed Art practitioner methods.
Our sessions are ideal for facilitators, cultural practitioners, educators, and changemakers who want to explore sensory, story-based, and futures-oriented approaches to engagement.
We run small-group workshops by invitation, and occasionally offer open courses and guest sessions for partner organisations.
If you’d like to be notified when new opportunities are available, or to discuss a bespoke training programme, please get in touch.
Join our training & courses mailing list and we’ll let you know when we plan public offerings.

Custom-designed walking experiences that bring communities together around climate, futures, place, or specific challenges. From 90-minute walks to half-day walkshops. We design them, train your facilitators, and provide everything you need to run them again.
Multi-sensory objects and installations that make possible futures tangible - whether as part of a walk, exhibition, or standalone experience. Created to provoke, invite, and spark imagination.
Learn participatory walking methods, futures literacy through embodied practices, and facilitation skills for transformative public engagement. For practitioners, changemakers, and cultural workers.
We also work with a handful of clients each year offering professional facilitation, moderation and talks.

The pillars of our practice
Start with the body. (Walking)
A walk is never just a walk. Movement grounds attention, and attention changes everything. All our practices include walking at some point, and in cases where walking on two legs is impossible, we walk using aids, or we walk with our imagination.
Be where you are. (Presence)
We work with the textures of real places: their histories, their futures, their hidden stories. All our work is site-specific, sensory, and responsive to the landscapes we move through.
Create conditions for change.
We don’t promise transformation, but we invite imagination, agency, and gentle disruption. Through stories, creative prompts, and shared reflection, we encourage shifts, small and large, in thought, feeling, or future direction.
Beyond the walks:
facilitation, moderation and talks
Facilitation is at the heart of everything we do, whether it’s holding space for dialogue, moderating an event, or sharing ideas about creative climate engagement, futures, and systems change.
If you are searching for a professional facilitator, lively moderator, or interactive talk grounded in the idea that systems change is possible, and that builds on ideas of participation, sensory storytelling, possible futures, and the creative potential of walking-based engagement, we'd love to help.

Who we work with
We work with people and organisations who care about place, imagination, and the stories we live by. Together we walk change into being.
Our partners, collaborators, and clients include festivals, museums, cultural institutions, artists, universities, public sector organisations, and community-led projects.
Whether you’re looking for a participatory programme, a residency, a bespoke walk, or creative climate engagement, we’d love to explore it with you.
We bring creative direction, skilled facilitation, and twenty years of experience across science, society, storytelling, and sustainability. All of our work is shaped in collaboration, and grounded in our core method, senstoryscapes.
